    I know a few but they see themselves as not working class anymore.. Unfortunately but to be fair I do enjoy their company..

    It goes back to a time when The Unionist Party in the 1950s were the largest party in Scotland where protestant working class voted for the tory sister party in large numbers. Since then the so called 'orange vote' has crumbled (as has the catholic tradition of voting labour) as Scotland has become a more secular country.

    Political polls on websites like follow follow still though have the tories easily as the most popular party for the brethern and this old tradition continues.

    Out of the 115,000 members and that's not including its supporters there's a massive amount of out of work members around 80% ..that for me says it all.

    "What is it with you people and religion??"


    Actually the point I was making was the opposite. These things no longer matter thankfully.


    I dont trawl Rangers sites but there are plenty on both sides who do and share there findings. There is one previous known as wally on this board who keep us up to date with what celtic fans are saying on their forums and social media.

    Weefuddy is the archetypal land of hope and glory Britnat. Totally unable to look at anything SNP in any objective light. He utterly despises Scotland's new found confidence and also the Scots actually choosing a party that will put their needs first. Like the rest of his Unionist cohorts he's a very frightened man. The Union is broken... it doesn't even work for the people of England let alone the rest of us. He doesn't know what the Union stands for he never really did. A confused and frightened Man.

    How about Bellahouston Park back in 1982 a certain gentleman had 300,000 turned out to see him ..

    Maybe outdoor then we do need the space to accommodate the fans /members voters..

    Funnily enough the four working class tories I was referring to don't like Football or go to Kirk.

    Very simplistic of you to put it down to an 'Orange vote', there are working class idiots all over Scotland who vote tory & it has nothing to do with their religion or Football team.
