Woah steady lads, let's not be too harsh on Celtic.
They managed to get 14,858 in the QF of the Scottish Cup last year...
But they sang loudly you know :)
the myth of celtic and their incredible support?

Wouldn't expect anything less from the 'greatest fans in the world'...
Ironic that our Celtic friend has accused English grounds of being 'full of tourists' when they only sell out for Rangers/Champions League games.

And if it wasn't for the Morton (?) fans it would have been a lot less.
Is the TV screen in the background being deliberately ironic?

Not of a Glaswegian mummy you don't, the razor scars will keep you up at night and not in a good way.

200k Rangers in Manchester in '08? That would be a 50% increase on the centre's population.
100k in Seville? That's between 500 and 600 planes, alright then.
Head wobble needed.

This thread is about bashing Celtic's support is it not?
I have so far highlighted that..
- Celtic took over 100k fans to Seville, Rangers 200k to Manchester for European finals in the past 10-15yrs. You're all yet to show me evidence of a better English support. Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United have all won the bigger cup in the same time frames but yet can't find the evidence that they were backed anywhere near as well as the 2 big Scottish clubs.
- Celtic hold both League and European tournament attendance records (European records) English teams do not.
- Celtic is regarded by lots of very respected footballers and managers as the best stadium and atmosphere in Europe.
- Celtic won the European cup before any English side did.
- Celtic have played 330+ times in Europe as opposed to 130 times Man City have.
These are all facts and you boy's are arguing black is white trying to dismiss these facts. Making out like I'm the child, that I'm the innacurate one? I get this is a City forum but you have to give credit where credit is due. I'll happily give City credit, they have a great team and a great manager and have the potential to go far in Europe but I'm not quite sure why the Celtic fans and crowd thing is bothering you all as much as it is doing? Is it because Celtic are from an inferior league and that their fans, backing and atmosphere offer what the Premiership is so dearly missing?
It's my opinion that Celtic are a bigger club but that's just my opinion, how do you define a big club anyway? I keep going back to the drivel in your premiership, Bournemouth, Burnley, Watford etc. Celtic are on a par with Ajax and PSV financially but you don't see anyone here mentioning they're both championship level teams? So a big club just can't be about wealth, history and support need to be there too, after all a club is nothing without its fans.
Ashame as I enjoyed both games, had great banter with your fans in both Glasgow and Manchester, friendly and welcoming and certainly no hostility. Your fans certainly enjoyed Glasgow, our fans enjoyed Manchester so really not sure what all the fuss is about. If you were actually at both games then fair enough, fair play, but I sense there are quite a few armchair fans here that weren't at either.
Anyway, we are just going around in circles, the same old digs, the same old comparisons, I'm even boring myself typing the same repeated comments. You're not going to agree with me, I'm not going to agree with you guys. Time to agree to disagree I think.
