What does SPL stand for? Silly Pointless League I would say it's a joke but jokes are supposed to be funny. The SPL is just rather sad. Mr Hat is right, you shouldn't be anywhere near the CL. Apart from Celtic does any team get more than 10,000 fans per home game? I honestly don't know, nor do I care. Anyway, like I said Samaras is more than good enough for Celtic but I wouldn't want him anywhere near our squad.
What Bruce is after is a targetman to help bring Aluko Brady and Sagbo into play. That's what he hoped Proshwitz could do but heyho.
You don't think Sagbo is an adequate target man? The guys a beast, I don't think we'd do better without breaking the bank.
From interviews I've heard on Humberside Brucey sounds like he is looking for '10' and a poacher type.
10000 spl crowds !!! Have hull not survived 90% of their time on crowds under 10000 , don't recall you getting 20000 when stuck in third /fourth divisions . Aberdeen , Dundee utd , Hearts and Hibs all have more football history than Hull will ever have , give these team 40 / 50 million you get from tv rather than the one million between them that they do get and these club would get 20 thousand as well .As for Hull city /tigers / squirrals or whatever your called these days , fans having an opinion on European football , its like me having an opinion on walking on the moon , two things that will never happen .
You don't recall well then. We got 20k plus in our last stint in the bottom 2 divisions fairly regularly. I recall 21k with 100 away fans on a Tuesday vs Swansea plus many others. Any stattos out there help him out? We also held the (then) 3rd division north attendance record of 40k plus vs Rovverham. But other than that, you make a good point....
Please accept my apologies. I have just done some research and it would appear I may have made a fool of myself. The average attendance is in fact 10,020 in the SPL. 'Pity' you'll never be allowed to play in England.
I don't quite understand why you have such a chip on your shoulder when it comes to Scottish Football.
Not bad for a nation of 5 million , scotland used to be top in europe the number of people that go to footie, percentage wise compared wirh population . I believe we've dropped down to third . Funny you don't rate spl , that is where your goalkeeper made his name . Martin o'neill manager for 20 years , only 5 in scotland , go and ask him his top 10 games , not one epl game would appear , european semi's and final , old firm games , league deciders and scottish cup final would top his list .
Seeing as though you know nothing about me why would you understand? I don't quite understand why you feel the need to defend it so much.
http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/club/index.html Rank 59. 58 better clubs in Europe, take that CL spot off them and they will plummet like a stone lower than most championship clubs. Scottish football is also rated 23rd in Europe, behind the mighty Belarus football league FFS. It's a joke league and a waste of a CL spot. They must buy their way through the qualification, how often do they ever draw a good side?
Can you not see the 5 big countries with tv money are getting stronger and stronger, no pot 4 team in the champions league got more than 5 points , basically you want the elete clubs competing in champions league . How would you like it if they said it was only the elete teams allowed to compete in the epl , Hull wouldn't be near the top 20 .Celtic in the champions league are doing the same as Hull in epl , there to make the numbers up and rake in the money .
I have actually played for Rock Celtic. A team based in Gibraltar. A little known but rather interesting fact.
