By what reckoning? What's that got to do with our attendances v St Johnstone? <chapstinybraincantcope>

After a couple of you lot questioned how your attendance was so low dispite rangers being in the competition. Therefor I would imagine that you'll only have approx the same 14k for the semi had it been at parkhead. (this also stands for hampden, don't know if such a fixture would be moved to have use of the potential for an extra 20k fans if they've already started digging up hampden for the commonwealth gash)

<laugh>

This thread is tragic beyond belief!

A plea to all Celtic fans, leave the ****s to it!

That's all we ask, **** off and leave us ****s to it, please.
 
This thread will soon have higher attendances than Parkheid <laugh>
 
Sorry Pud - can't help myself. <laugh>

1 of those games was during the end of Mowbray’s days. <ok>

So ....?



No they weren’t.

2009/10 866,061
2011/12 967,182

Yeah fans stayed away due to apathy created by Mowbray, or should we just say it. Getting gubbed in the league by Rangers.

And getting gubbed by St Mirren 4-0 etc etc etc. Point is that the low attendances were at least in part due to people who had paid to go, not going.



As I have mentioned before the stats that I provided are official SPL figures. Not ticket sales, official SPL attendance figures for Celtic’s home games. You know, the people who actually turn up for the games. You know, the point of this article.

Actually the point is what are the reasons for decreasing attendances. If people buy tickets and don't go, that's clearly not due to the recession. So the relatively low attendances of 2009-10 - when that happened a lot - compared to 2010-11 are not due to the recession - they're due to supporter discontent. On the other hand, the fact is that fewer tickets were sold in 2010-11 than 2009-10, suggests that supporters were less willing to part with their hard-earned cash - ie they were feeling the effects of the recession.

I’m guessing, and it’s just a guess, but Celtic include ticket sales for away games as well in their financial figures. The SPL stats are attendances for home games.

Season tickets and match day ticket sales in the accounts are based entirely on tickets for Celtic Park. Why would they be for any games at another other club's stadium? <laugh>

So someone who purchases a season ticket that gains him entry into every home league game will NOT go to 4 games because he bought the Champions League package. That’s a great logic.

Declan “Are you goin to the match today Admiral?”
Admiral “Naw, I’m goin to the CL games instead.”
Declan “But you’ve got a season ticket”
Admiral “Yeah but my CL package equates to 4 SPL games!”
Declan “And what, you’ve already paid for the games!?!”

I take it you can't actually read, you complete *****. People who DON'T HAVE season tickets are more likely to make the choice between attending euro games and league games. For example, I have a certain budget for going to fitba, I don't have a season ticket, so the choice is: do I go to more league games or do I chose to go to fewer league games and, instead, the CL games?




<doh>

Or maybe the lack of Savco’s rivals challenging for the title.

By this time last season, Celtic had played 5 league games at CP with an average attendance of ~49,000. The average this year is ~45,500. However in europe, in 3 homes games by roughly the same time last season the average attendance was 39,000 - whereas this season it's an average of 54,000. So people are chosing to go to the european games at the expense of the league games. Like Mr Lawell said. Like I said.
 
I take it you can't actually read, you complete *****.

He can, but he's apparently the best WUM in the world, and as all good WUMs do, he ignores the facts that don't support his risible logic<ok>

He's keen to discuss Celtic attendences for some reason???? But not so keen on discussing or explaining why Rangers attendences are falling so much that they are lying about the numbers who actually came through the turnstiles at Ibrox.
 
<laugh>


Then go to a game and take the 85%ers with ya

**** would you know if I go to games <doh>

You live in the Western world's equivalent of 90's Rwanda and take your life's plaudits from an internet football forum <ok>

I'm replying because it's fun to big holes in pisspoor logic <laugh>

That and the fact that I'm in the middle of a hurricane-force Beelstorm <grr>

So ....?

So you said those low attendances came at the end of Mowbrays reign, only 1 of them did.

And getting gubbed by St Mirren 4-0 etc etc etc. Point is that the low attendances were at least in part due to people who had paid to go, not going.

What the **** are you blaming the ****e results for low attendances. We all know it’s down to the recession. <whistle>

Actually the point is what are the reasons for decreasing attendances. If people buy tickets and don't go, that's clearly not due to the recession. So the relatively low attendances of 2009-10 - when that happened a lot - compared to 2010-11 are not due to the recession - they're due to supporter discontent. On the other hand, the fact is that fewer tickets were sold in 2010-11 than 2009-10, suggests that supporters were less willing to part with their hard-earned cash - ie they were feeling the effects of the recession.

So in 2009/10 you all stayed away because Rangers were winning well and Savco were ****e despite the world recession?
Your attendances continued to rise until this season, were your main competitor is no longer in the same league and as many people predicted it will be a 1 horse race for the title.

That’s just a big fat coincidence is it?

Season tickets and match day ticket sales in the accounts are based entirely on tickets for Celtic Park. Why would they be for any games at another other club's stadium? <laugh>

Does your club not take a cut when selling tickets for away/neutral grounds?

I take it you can't actually read, you complete *****. People who DON'T HAVE season tickets are more likely to make the choice between attending euro games and league games. For example, I have a certain budget for going to fitba, I don't have a season ticket, so the choice is: do I go to more league games or do I chose to go to fewer league games and, instead, the CL games?

Can you pick an excuse and stick with it. So let’s get this straight. You budget yourself how much you can spend on football. <laugh>

And then you have to make the nail biting decision on whether or not to go to CL games or league games. I’m guessing all the others missing Celtic fans also follow this method. Ehh.

Let me ask, has this budget always been in place or has it only came into effect this season?

By this time last season, Celtic had played 5 league games at CP with an average attendance of ~49,000. The average this year is ~45,500. However in europe, in 3 homes games by roughly the same time last season the average attendance was 39,000 - whereas this season it's an average of 54,000. So people are chosing to go to the european games at the expense of the league games. Like Mr Lawell said. Like I said.

So when Savco are pumped out of Europe attendance figures at Parkheid will start to boom again?
