Fools Gold 488 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Dear Mr BBC,Can you for one fucking minute think about this; do you really, really, really think, that with the football eyes of the world looking in at this game, our team is going to deliberately fuck-about with the figures, to add fuel to the flames.Yourselves, the SPL, SFA, and most of the Taig-influenced media are only just putting your dicks away from the wank-fest that is 'Having A Go At The Gers'. Why would we give you another chance to whip out your little flaccid bellends.So please, kindly fuck off; there is no sinister story to be found here.Yours sincely,The People.

boab54 4 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There's a few people on Twitter saying it was 50,411. But if there as many pockets of empty seats as people on here are saying I doubt we were only 671 empty seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnw 22 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There was loads of folk still outside at 7:45. I was in the club deck and from where I was sitting there wasn't many seats left from what I saw. Was a great night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There were a lot of older bears who haven't been for a while and have inevitably put on some weight. It's nothing suspicious, they did take up take least one extra seat each.Simple explanation, really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MenHadADream 122 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I have to say I thought there were probably more than 38,000, but still nowhere near capacity. Probably about 42,000 max Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There were not only 500 empty seats. Could believe that the attendance was 48,000 though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger for life 199 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I was in the Govan Rear, there were a few empty seats beside me, but I would reckon there were much more attendees than 38k.Only disappointment was that some of the catering stalls were closed and the pies ran out before the half time hordes could get served.Hopefully the caterers will get this right very soon.Great seeing the new signings. Shiels in particular stood out. The young guys did well too. Think Neilly Alexander will have to take a crossword puzzle book out with him to keep him occupied in the games to come! One save only in the whole game.Was good to be back in Blue Heaven! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I honestly think the BBC are right, was DEFO more than 38k in Ibrox tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There was more than 38k there any one apart from Stevie wonder could see that. BBC are just biased beasts.

alandRFC 1 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I was in the Govan front and 38k was about right.Gaps in the main stand, club deck and copland front near the corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio 1,199 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Fuck off! I'm as slim as ever.I was in Govan Front and looking at the Club deck was 2/3 full, not bad considering that it was shut. I would put the attendance around the 45K mark a lot more than 38k Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxi74 127 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 what are we supposed to be sayin...that there was more than there was? so basically there gona acuse us of paying more tax than we should so we can say that we have a big attendance..... hahahahahahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy72 17 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 1st round of the cup, against east fife ( no disrespect intended lads) and on a Tuesday night in a fixture that has been moved at short notice.Incredible performance from the Bears that attended Guaranteed it would have been a sell out if it had been at weekend, why they couldn't have moved it to the Sunday is a mystery to me.Orange walk mate .policing problems i was told Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 No way it was 38K - that's a quarter empty.I'd say it was less than 10% empty - so at least 45kCopland and Broomloan were both virtually full. Govan was almost full, Main Stand was about 3/4 full, club deck maybe a few more empty seatsThe biggest gap I saw was in the East Fife sectionOh and McKay was my MOTM!

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,772 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 They were saying there was far more than 38k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,776 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Now that I'm home and at the laptop after the game, I'd just like to say that when they said over the tannoy "38,000" no fucking way. From my seat in BF2 - the Copland was sold out, couldn't see a spare seat. The Govan was as good as full. The main stand was packed except the very edges as usual, probably around 200-300 maybe 400 empty seats in the bottom tear? The Club Deck had to be opened as was more than half full from my view (maybe less, the lighting could have played a part), and the Broomloan was bouncing. The only spaces I could see were, as I said, the sides of the Main Stand, the corner where our fans were situated wasn't exactly full and having seen a picture there were a few empty seats nearer the East Fife end of the Broomy.This "38,000" figure is shite. I reckon they've only counted the tickets sold and not the ones from pay at the gate. The Club Deck holds what, 7000+ish? which was at least half full.A more realistic figure would be at least 45,000. For a 1st round Cup game, midweek v East Fife, 45,000 plus is absolutely stunning from us Bears... not to mention delaying kick-off to let everybody in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,772 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 A got back to the bus and there was 5 minutes left (subway loyal/ went for a carry out) and the commentator said there was at least 38k left in the ground and said about 10k had left. Sa why u having a dig at them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanTeddy 767 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 From Govan Front you could see the club deck was half full. Coupe of blocks of seats in the second tier of the main stand were empty and there were spaces at the back of the Broomloan and obviously in and around the Fifers. We guessed 40,000 before the announcement, so don't think 38,160 is far off the mark. I'm assuming the Govan rear was full.An amazing crowd, and I guess just seeing it on a Tuesday night absolutely bouncing made people (hopefuly innocently) exagerrate numbers.On a Saturday it would have been rammed - and hopefully that'll be the case at the Shire game.Lots of fun tonight!!

Grumpybear 24 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Aye from bf1 it looked like the club deck was pretty full and couldn't see more than a couple of hunder empty seats in the Govan. Was surprised at the 38k I'd said easy 45k.Can ye hear the Copland sing. No, No..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
