Dundee's revenue was 6917 x 26 = £179,842, nearly three times greater and the majority of this was paid for by the away fans.
As a businessman it is obvious where the best BUSINESS decision was made. It is my argument that our football club is a business and should be run to the best business standards if we want it to prosper in the future.
Now I take the point about "a thank you" to the support but this wasn't the game to do it as you would have been subsidising a large amount of Celtic supporters. The time to do it will be when we play a team with a small travelling support and/or a crunch game.
Said I was bowing out of this thread but bugger it.

The difference in numbers is staggering BUT I do think that the past week or two has caused a bit of I'll feeling between board and fans that will only really show when season tics go on sale again.

Would 5000 or 6000 dees there gave us an extra 5-10% chance of winning.....who knows.

My suggestion a few weeks before game of dress subsidising tics for home end still stacks up imho.

We would have got those 5000 or 6000 in (especially if you listen to everybody who claims they wind have went if cheaper), club would have been in pocket, dfcss would have been in pocket, we would have had better chance of winning (admittedly slim but better), fans happy, board happy, players happy.
