    We get more than that for most matches these days, despite only Celtic and to an extent the Jutes carrying reasonable away supports.

    that game was an early kick off live on tv which always brings the crowds out

    If you actually look at the statistics closely you will find there's a mixed bag across the board.

    Aberdeen and United especially have done well crowds-wise in the absence of Rangers. For United, their big game had always been Dundee, not Rangers.

    What most people forget is that gone are the days when the home support will turn out to see Celtic/Rangers visit. It just doesn't happen.

    So aye, you might have 4,000 'Bears' there, but there's probably 1k fewer in the home end, partly because it'll be a 12.30 game on a Sunday and on the TV and partly because folk don't care about those games any more.

    The clubs that have missed Rangers most are those based near Glasgow who would give up half their ground to them - Killie and Motherwell. Everyone else is doing ok.

    It's part of the superiority complex of being a Rangers fan to claim we all need Rangers in the league. It's just nonsense.

    We've gone from a 2 horse race to a 1 horse race. For 40 clubs' fans it's made f-all difference. In t

    The clubs Rangers play as we work our way back up the leagues have a more secure future because Rangers have been in their league - just for one season.

    All facts and stuff of the real world reve I'm sorry
    The majority of those teams survived for over 100 years without Rangers in their league. And they only make serious cash if the games v Rangers are live on TV. If not the extra policing & stewarding costs cancel out any money that extra tickets bring in.

    Didn't say they wouldn't survive if they didn't have Rangers to play

    All the clubs have benefited from playing Rangers - serious cash or not.

    I hope the new Rangers fc stay down, they have **** poor crowds compared to the original Rangers. I do wish them well in their semi final though as would enjoy watching United (or the SSB's) tear them to shreds in a cup final even more than I enjoyed raith rovers doing it last season

    He reminds of Claude the H1b5 fan who used to post on here. If you wanted to know what was happening at Tynecastle you only had to ask Claude. He was a Hearts expert.
