Stifler Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I heard this somewhere a while back, and I was woundering if someone could give me a link to prove me right as I'm having a wee debate with a mackem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Be surprised if that was true, isn't there some sort of affinity between Celtic/Liverpool and Rangers/Chelsea? Although I guess if it's only people's first club anything's possible, given that the sample size for football fans in Scotland who haven't picked one or the other is probably pretty small.

J7 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Bollocks to be fair. We have a decent support up there, but certainly not as many fans as Man Utd, Liverpool and teams like Everton. Not to mention Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 so if hearts get 18000,.....acording to SMBs,...more than 18000 jocks are in our crowd. they will come up with a million theories as to why we get more fans than them, everyone avoiding the truth....we are simply a bigger club, from a better city.

80 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Having spent a fair while around there, I see more of our colours than I do any other outside the Old Firm. I possibly even see more of us than Hibs or Hearts in Edinburgh specifically - central Edinburgh, at least... Probably tourists, to be fair...

BlueStar Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Who cares anyway? I thought glory hunters were bad? Must be a hangover from Calvinism, kids in Essex grow up and start supporting Man U so they can celebrate every year, kids in Glasgow start supporting us so they can moan and be dour all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Who cares anyway? I thought glory hunters were bad? I know we haven't had any glory... what I meant was picking the nearest Premiership (as we were) team rather than supporting Hibs or whoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 You see a fair few black and white shirts in Edinburgh train station on a saturday morning, but would be surprised if third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 4 MOTS awards have all left within 18 months. Bassong the shortest at a few weeks and Milner the longest. Parker and Habib the others so we'll be happily swayed to generously award this years to Shola, Butt etc....

Probably tourists, to be fair... i'm up in edinburgh a lot and i've noticed the same thing. see nufc shirts as much as celtic or rangers, don't see hearts or hibs nearly as much. saying 3rd highest in all of scotland is bollocks though - maybe highest outside the scottish teams, and man utd/liverpool.

Mick Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I Lived in Scotland and didn't see as many other football shirts as ours, I remember seeing a couple of Man U and 1 each of Chelsea and Arsenal. We've got a supporters club in Aberdeen and we were supported by a lot of locals who got the train down to watch us on a regular basis. I can't remember seeing any Celtic shirts and a couple of Rangers shirts so it was Aberdeen followed by us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Funny somebody remarked on the Where You From? topic about how there were so few NUFC fans in Scotland. More in Scandinavia than Scotland, or something to that effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that I had better point out that more of the locals supported them, I drank in a pub called The Spiders Web and it was almost entirely Newcastle fans.
