A nothing club. Who would anhilate you. But thats down to money. Is that why so many Scottish folk come down to NUFC every week?
More fans than you

HAHAHAHA, you're not supported outside of Newcastle. Come back when you have 9 million worldwide, or the biggest fanbase in North America. all your fans share the same postcode. Nothing club, with an inflated sense of importance because you play in a league with a lot of money. Ever won a trophy actually? Come to think of it have you?

2005 Championship Play-off Final

West Ham v Preston

70,275

Newcastle have more fans than rangers...

Straw man argument. We aren't debating on whether the players are good or not. We are not debating on where the players ended their careers. We are simply seeing if players directly moved to a bigger club after playing for Celtic or Rangers.

Would you be in agreement that Ajax is a better club than Celtic?

I'm not arguing that he is shit, I was just saying he has also played in the Championship which the argument was about.

I would be, yes.

I was not aware that the discussion shifted to a Championship v SPL argument.

So? You ignored the fact Southampton have a smaller stadium when you argued Celtic get a higher attendance...

Course they are you vegetable. Newcastle have fans all over England and most likely Europe too.

Just checked Barry Bannan to see where he came from, according to wikipedia:

Born in Airdrie, Bannan began his career at local youth team Lenzie Youth Club managed by Sir Ian Stevenson and soon played for the under-14's at Celtic. As a 14-year-old, Bannan was offered the chance to join Celtic's youth academy, but instead chose to accept a trial offer from Aston Villa

So Bannan, (scottish born) didn't even want to play for 'one of the best teams in the world' in his home country.

Rangers vs Celtic (Ibrox, January 1939) Attendance = 118,567

#WINNING!

Celtic:

The Scottish Cup final win against Aberdeen in 1937 was attended by a crowd of 147,365 at Hampden Park in Glasgow, which remains a world record gate for a national cup final

#WINNING!

Scottish football was actually good until 20 years ago though.

Andy Carroll rejected Celtic to join Preston on loan says alot really.

Reading Vs Swansea 86,581 fans

"Aston Villa made an offer but I chose to come here.

"I chose Celtic because I really wanted to win trophies and Celtic are a great club, a historical club.

"European football was another reason. Aston Villa aren't playing in the Europa League and Celtic will be.

"It was an easy choice for me."

I'm not being sarcastic. I was debating the original discussion. During the 5 or so minutes I spent looking for examples, the discussion seemed to have shifted to who has better fans and which league is better.

I didn't imply anything. I was simply saying your point had no relevance to my discussion.

We packed I think it was 39000 into the Dell in the 70s for a game against Man Utd, think it became a 15000 seater stadium..

That just reflects poorly on the Championship, doesn't it? At least Scottish fans value their league enough to support a Scottish team, whereas there are many non-local English fans who don't care at all about their local, lower-league side.

And there is plenty of Scottish people who abandon their local sides to follow one of the Glasgow clubs. In some cases (Alan) they abandon their whole nation to follow a foreign club.

Nope i followed a scottish player actually, and Liverpool at the time had a few Scottish players and did not have that many English players. And when i learned all about Liverpool the scots through out time had a big part to play in Liverpool football club as you will know.

Who?


Oh and Bannan is 'a big Celtic supporter' so I imagine at the age of 14 a chance to join your favourite team would be amazing. However he saw that we were interested and thought, fuck Celtic.

Record home attendance 32,152 against West Ham United, 18 October 2011

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ZOMG OMFG PLEASE NO MORE TOO FUNNY AHAHAHAHAHA

Championship is bigger than the SPL, face it.
