Whether there's 8000 or 800 of them there or 8000 or 800 at their dump. I've seen us pumped by them home and away but there's nothing more enjoyable than us smashing them at Ibrox and 40,000 bears giving it big licks. With as many as 48000 thousand bears at Old Firms at home now when we do finally get back to beating them it is going to be even more enjoyable. Plus there's getting a few extra thousand ST's sold every year. That's another couple of million quid at the start of the season that, presumably, is going to be used to fund new signings etc. There's more benefit to us across the board than a few thousand fans getting a better chance of a ticket to go to CP twice a season. I'm far more interested in doing what benefits the club than keeps some fans happy or makes a better 'visual spectacle'. Little will change at an Old Firm because there's less fans. Do you think our lot will want to be heard any less despite being much fewer? Think they'll celebrate any less when we score? Will they fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Crazy to think that something "controversial" that is splitting opinion among fans might cause some fans to comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Methil, there will certainly have been a few locals who will be have a soft spot for both East Fife and us (I'm sure @gogzy will know a few) and might even have sold their tickets on but out allocations at Bayview were tiny - because the stadium is tiny.

Bit more boozing, everyone's a bit more compact, there's less families etc. I mean we could just pull Ibrox down and build a wee meccanno ground like Clyde or falkirk just for guys that go to away games. We'd have a cracking atmosphere then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
