pcbear 10,924 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I just heard on sky sports news the F****** presenter had the cheek to say about our game ".... Less than 5,000 people watched the game." IT WAS SOLD OUT !!!!! Why not say "... A capacity crowd.... A sell out...." But to imply like no-one showed up and then show shots of a jam packed stadium. It really really pisses me off.they said pretty much the same when reporting the Brechin attendance, rubbish research imo, it dont take much finding out either does it? a 15 second google search will tell you the name of the ground and its capacity, lazy cunts.

dougied123 222 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Looks like it was the clubs that were sold out and not the tickets Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland 76 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 If you have to make a big song and dance about selling out grounds your prob not gonna. They should make SPL teams switch stadia with div 3 teams. That way more of us can go to away games and the SPL might actually get a sellout SaturdayDon't be silly, some of those stadium have 500 seats!

Davy 68 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It will be interesting come the end of the season to compare average attendances to that of last season. That is, assuming all SPL clubs are still in business... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleyroad 894 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 i'll tell you what . . . that Motherwell attendance is an absolute shocker, 3rd in the SPHell last season, moved up to second, in Europe and that's how many turn up after weeks of begging fans to but tickets e.t.c Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiebreak54 151 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I had come to the conclusion that all SPL sides would somehow survive the season, but now I am not so sure. The crowd at Inverness is desperate, and it would appear their crowds in recent times are consistently dreadful. They do not even own their own ground.

It really really pisses me off.Perhaps somebody should inform the twat that the official capacity of Balmoor is listed as 4,000,with seating for 1,000, therefore the attendance given of 4,485 which is only 20 customers short of the quoted record (against the filth for a 3rd round Scottish cup tie) is pretty reasonable,all things considered."less than 5,000 people watched the game" well done,Einstein.

Peasie 103 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Compare the attendances with sell out Saturday (a day when the clubs made a conscious effort to sell out their ground to replace the loss of the Rangers fixture) with just a normal Saturday (or Sunday) when the Gers came to visit last season.Aberdeen (SOS 14,010) [Gers 15,468]Dundee (SOS 5,984) [Gers 9,404 and 9,876]Inverness Caledonian Thistle (SOS 3,012) [Gers 6,623 and 6,416]Motherwell (SOS 4,490) [Gers 10,092 and 9,063]Kind of blows away this myth that there are thousands of home fans that stay away because Rangers (and Celtic) are visiting. In the case of Inverness and Motherwell the attendance was more than doubles when Rangers visited. The figures for Dundee were from the 2004-05 season, the last time they were in SPL.

paisleyroad 894 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Daily Rhebel yesterday had "over 14k tickets sold" and "ready to smash the 15k+ attendance last time Rangers came" They also had the Inverness v Killie game as easily more than the last time the tie was played last year . . . . they ended up with 300+ less as much as the Daily Rhecord begged/wished/prayed for this to be a massive success it failed miserably!Just as well SKY were on the ball to rub it in to the clowns :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
