Camshy 812 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The Celtic supporting guy does have point, they should only include games at your home ground and domestic league but the likes of Arsenal are at Wembley and playing in the FA cup and so called massive Man Utds record attendance isnt even at their own ground.....it's at their city rivals, I already knew those figures anyway when checking out attendance records some years ago. Celtic unfortunately hold the brittish record for a game and that stands at 147000 odd for a Scottish Cup game at Hampden versus Aberdeen. If I remember correctly the highest attendance for OF game is 143000 also at Hampden. If you also look at the attendance records of Scottish clubs you will find most clubs have their record attendance against the mighty Rangers.........our name is their by more than double to the nearest team who I think is Aberdeen although I can't really remember, just know we are their loads of times.

What is it that's so hard for them to understand that cup games at a neutral venue aren't your own to boast about. 7 hours ago, NeoGeo7 said: Take a guess who has the only comment on the article.....Martin O'Donnell, complaining that Celtic weren't on the list when using Hampden but arsenal are when using Wembley. They're a bunch of rancid, spiteful, petty fuckers! The Tim playbook must go: 1) go on website, 2) find something that has nothing to do with your team, 3) get offended, and 4) spend way too much time moaning about it and justify your "always cheated, never defeated" motto. They're actually one of the most pathetic group of people ever to have a common interest. The day you club together to put an advert in the paper about a team you say doesn't exist is the day you should put yourself out of your misery. Instead paying money to put advert in a Swiss newspaper these cretins should've bought a one way ticket to Dignitas centre instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine Road was Uniteds home ground at that point (1945-1949) as Old Trafford was being rebuilt after bomb damage sustained during the war. Not really the same scenario as Arsenal using Wembley or them using Hampdump out of convenience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden holds that record as it's not a home game on their ground but a neutral venue. Why do you say Celtic and not Aberdeen? Edit: BTW...that's a European record. Pedantic loyal.

As its a football issue there was no mention of Murrayfield, but if I remember correctly there was a crowd of 108,000 there for a Scotland v Wales rugby game in the 70s. Anytime I passed the old Murrayfield on the train I was struck by how small it looked compared to Ibrox, Hampden and even the Piggery. A six figure crowd in that place must have been well over even the 1970s safety guidelines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 All these pre-all-seating figures could be increased by a fair amount due to "lift overs" and "climb-ins". Also uncounted entries using warrent cards (that's how my father and I got in to the Aberdeen v St Mirren Cup final in 1959). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
