HG5 11,446 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 No chance does club deck hold 8 thousand when the full broamloand stand only holds 7500 ?Correction - a (not very!) quick check throws up an Evening Tims article saying 7300. Not much else out there with a definitive number!Think I was getting the '8' from the £8m the bond issue raised.Apparently there were still 6050 bond holders at time we went into admin, all of whom would have been lodged in the Club Deck - still bags of room at the ends with no regular occupants, so 7300 sounds about right.

Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Bought 5 tickets today, the place was fucking mobbed all day, some season tickets but surely more than 5k tickets sold in the past 24 hours for tomorrow night?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you would have told me there would be 25,000+ in the 1st round of the league cup at home on a Tuesday i'd of laughed. Why the fuck did they move it from the weekend to the Tuesday anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,865 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Let's all get things into perspective about the size of the crowd for this game. It's a Tuesday night in the middle of the summer holidays. We have a lot of fans who normally travel from England and Northern Ireland. Confirmation that the game would actually go ahead was only given just over a week ago. The ticket office staff have to deal with thousands of season ticket renewals and tickets for this game, they are working flat out. I believe that they lost a few members of staff due to lack of job security, they left for other positions. Getting every request processed takes time and we will have to live with that.Not everybody can make this game. I sit in Copland rear and 2 guys in front live and work in the south of England. A pal of mine is currently working somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.If the SFA and SPL had done more to resolve issues earlier instead of trying to crucify Rangers we could have had the tickets sorted out before now. The ticket office is open tomorrow and there will be pay at the gate so there is still time for some fans to get along.All things considered, a crowd of anything over 25,000 will be reasonable under these circumstances.I'm certain it will be different when all STs are renewed for league games.

Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's bullshit though.Some people simply cannot, like you, make the game which fair enough.

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Secondly, it is one of the most significant games in our history, it probably should be held in a higher regard than most Champions League games...No it isn't and no it shouldn't....

wullyRFC 5,230 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's the first home game of a new chapter of our club, how isn't it one of the biggest games in our history?

Looking on the bright side though, I'm glad it was pushed back . Imagine the mess if would have been on Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergio 1,199 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you think home to east fife in the first round of the league cup is one of the bigger games in our history then you not know much about our historyIt is a big game for the club as it is a chance for us to show our support and loyalty, and really ram it down the SPL's throat, that we don't do walking away. The players that have stayed and the ones who have signed deserve a decent turn out in what is the first home game. I agree with those who say that it is more important for us to get 40k season tickets sold than 40k for this game, however I would rather that we did both, we are more than capable of it. We got 47k for a legends game and this in my eyes is more important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullyRFC 5,230 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Several, granted. But IMO, very few be as big as this. Our first game at Ibrox as we fight back to the top of the Scottish game. It's just a shame that a fair few don't want to be a part of it.It's almost as if you're suggesting this isn't a significant moment in the history of the club... Or am I just being totally ignorant?Significant yes. But not the biggest of our history.Just seems like people are treating this like it's the first game for a new club, when it's not. I'll be there regardless but i'm not going to have a go at anyone who doesn't go for whatever reasons they have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peasie 103 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Let's all get things into perspective about the size of the crowd for this game. A further take on perspective....Look at Celtic's home games in recent seasons against SPL clubs in this same competition :22/09/2010 Celtic 6-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle (Att : 17,429)28/10/2009 Celtic 0-1 Heart of Midlothian (Att : 18,675)Just for when the tims point out it isn't a sell-out.
