The current team wouldn't be, but if they were down here with the TV money, plus the far greater commercial revenue they'd pull in etc, It's naive to think that they wouldn't become a force within a few years anyway.

Celtic aren't historically a particularly well supported club. This massive support is a bit of a myth. Their historical average attendance throughout their history is around 26,000 which makes them the 11th best supported club in the UK. In the years Rangers were out of the SPL they rarely attracted more than 30k to their home games and we're reduced to fiddling their attendance figures to make it still look like they were getting  45k+ when at times it was only half that. Something that was exposed by the Daily Record a few years ago.

 

It also needs to be remembered that their fanbase has been largely built by success and their numbers are swelled by glory hunters from across Scotland and beyond. If they played in England and went 10-20 years without winning anything a lot of those would stop attending games.

 

Yes, they're a big club but nowhere near as big as they're made out to be. They're not even the biggest club in their own city.

But I thought 50,000 screaming jawdees was an exaggeration by the magedia?

 

It kills them that we've not only stuck by our club after relegation but actually increased crowds because they know that if the roles had been reversed and they'd gone down they'd have deserted in their droves and gone down the route Aston Villa have and had to mothball parts of their stadium.

Love how so called Newcastle fans try to slate the club or its fans at every opportunity. Our tickets are actually amongst the most expensive in the division. Huddersfield for example charge a flat rate of £189 for adult season tickets. Mine cost £520 for a seat behind the goal (Gallowgate end). A mate at work pays over £700 for his ST in the Milburn Stand.
