    re: celtics win meaningless tonight

    [quote="Moonboot"]Football in the area of Britain known as Scotland is overpriced and there is little competition. Even when The Rangers are in the top league, the competition is still a bore to the majority of fans.

    A couple of things would help this:

    1 - TV money should be shared equally. The OF already have a massive financial advantage before a ball is kicked. Competition would improve.

    2 - Prices should be reduced to German levels to get people back into the grounds before it's too late. Too many people have been lost to the game already because it's too dear.

    Unfortunately, neither of these two things will happen because of the greed of those running the OF clubs and it is they who dictate what happens up here.

    They're not in it for the benefit of Scottish football or even their own clubs. They're in it to make money for themselves.

    If you don't think that's true, look at Ally McCoist. Everyone knows, including himself, that the best thing for hi

    we got 37,000 v boavista in 1975 in the cup winners cup.

    39,000 v sporting lisbon in 1983 in the uefa and 31,000 10 years later in same comp against same opps.

    23,000 v arhuss denmark in 1983 in the uefa.

    28,000 v polytechnica timasoara of romania in the 1980 cup winners cup.

    30,000 v wacker innsbruck in the euro cup in 1977.

    30,000 v veijle of denmark in 1973 in the euro cup.

    40,000 v olympiakos in the euro cup in 1974.

    30,000 v wislaw krakow in the uefa in 1976.


    just cos we dont get nearly 60k every home game now isnt a sign of disaster, its a sign of the reality we are all hit with, the days of celtic getting 60k most home games are over bar the odd massive game or two.
    Less of this posting facts tae back up yer case,

    How much has Celtic made for the rest of the top league clubs in recent years, due tae success and participation in the Champions League ? I guarentee most clubs would have been able tae strengthen or even just manage tae hold ontae important stars due tae their annual windfall c/o Celtic.

    How can we compete when the 'windfall' we receive is a tiny proportion of what you get from your 'success'. It wouldn't have been enough to keep our left back from last year.

    You OF fans would probably enjoy a more competitive SPL but there are too many people at your clubs making money from getting into th

    a good result though as we drew our away game and have now played our rivals for the group once each with theoretically the easier team to play twice.

    I suspect that on a Romanian football massageboard somewhere on the web some romanian football fan will be saying two bad results so far but we have now played our rivals for the group once each with theoretically the easier team to play twice.
