the myth of celtic and their incredible support?

[casserole of nonsense]

Cbhoy can live in the past , football is all about money and nothing else , if anybody thinks different they are simply deluded

Please don't forget that football is also about sectarian hocus pocus.

 

[levets]

There you go again with your wealthy big club comparisons again. Because we can no longer afford top class players make us a small club yeah? And those like Burnley and Bournemouth that can afford big transfer fees and salaries are now big clubs?

Where is this 80% garbage coming from? Celtic hold both League and European attendance records dating back to the 60's and 70's.

146k against Aberdeen ffs.

Yeah who gives a flying fuck especially with that logic.

No point in responding any more. City are obviously a huge club with a prestigious history. Great fan base and of course a trophy cabinet full of European trophies.

Oh wait.

Over and out.

That attendance v Aberdeen was not at Celtic Park. Doesn't count in this argument. Like Spurs claiming a record attendance at Wembley, doesn't count.

Some **** comes on here and spouts shite he's read in the Sun or heard on Talksport and you all fall for it. He has done little to no research, probably has a half rag half celtic scarf over his bed in that his mum still washes every week because he's used it as his wanking sock.

Fuck him, if he thinks we havent got any history or cant sell out, let him carry on, I care not one bit, I feel his pain at being totally irrelevant these days, and I enjoy his salty tears they sustain me, like my mate who supports Notts Forest and drones on about 2 European cups and how they deserve better.

Made in Scotland, not from girders, just pure unadulterated bollocks.

Our history is 8 years longer than Celtic's. 1880 v 1888. For 113 years, city have beaten Celtics seasonal average on 78 occasions. Source.. Daily Mirror archive

2012-2016 was the period Rangers went down

2017 season, they come back up.

Average league attendance 2017;

Celtic - 55,590
Man City -54,242

With our appalling league against some very small teams (Patrick Thistle etc) we are still beating your attendances.

That's not including the Champions League figures (6 games) which 57k+

Let's not make this into an attendance willy waving contest as Celtic are in front ;)

And let's not forget the records held by Celtic in the league and in European competition too ;)

And yep, I wonder if Man City will take 100k fans to a Euro final? Erm, nope.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....ay/11/deniscampbell.theobserver?client=safari

Official figures were 80,000 fans but with some sources quoting between 80-100k. Either way, an incredible following where I've yet to witness any other team better (other than Rangers unfortunately but that was only 3hrs down the M6 and abroad so doesn't count ;) ) Man United took 40k to their European Cup final for example. Both Scottish clubs far exceeding that.

 

[levets]

Not quite sure what question that needs answering you are waiting on JimHarri? Must have missed your question.

22m likes you say but yet why couldn't you fill your 55k seated stadium against Chelsea on Sunday? What gives?

54,780 is the working capacity after segregation. The attendance was 54,447. Sold out on 5th October, 2 months before the game. Don't believe the shit in the sun about tickets still available, 6 each and all that bollocks.

What about the 78 years that our attendance was higher than yours including your European Cup winning year?

 

[mancityvstoke]

attendances arguments? Only Utd fans do that shit I thought.
What a load of boring bollocks .....

you promised you'd fuck off too. What happened to that?

Why would we if we get say a 20000 allocation. If 60000 Irish jocks decide to travel abroad to want to watch a match on small TV in a foreign bar that's up to them. Says more how shit Glasgow is than anything else.
