Can you blame the stadiums capacity even when it's not full?

If you don't fill a stadium and you have every chance to do so, then you can't blame capacity for it not being full. It makes no sense.

Too late for math

sorry..

41k tickets allocated then. Strange.. I'm confused.

Forest took 50,000 fans over to Portugal this summer for a friendly against Spurs' 3rd team. Come at me Scotland.

You want to make the 500 Queen's Park fans seat in an 80,000 seater every week?

So the SFA refused to give Motherwell tickets to Celtic.

Like I said, plenty of people buy tickets for the home ends at grounds if the away allocation is sold out. It wouldn't have been hard for Celtic fans to buy from Motherwell.

I have no idea about the politics. But I imagine ticket allocation would have been relevant here.

The rest go to sponsors, corporate big wigs, etc.

Well that's the end of that then.

It's obviously not the end, the cup final still wasn't sold out.

So they can take 50,000 over to Portugal in the summer in the sun for a friendly, yet only have an average crowd of 22,222

Maybe the liked the sun in Portugal as much as the actually like their team.

Wrong thread

Hello weather. Nice of you to join us.

Interesting point, weather.

Well I would argue that a playoff final is more important to the fans than a Scottish Cup final.

I agree, because Championship is bigger than the SPL. But I don't understand how 2 small clubs manage an attendance of over 86k between them, yet Celtic who have 10 million supporters can't sell out their cup final.

But they sold all their tickets.

Don't think we'll ever get to the bottom of this.

If that's the case, then it's a good point. Not all the tickets go Celtic or Rangers. It's not their fault if they sell all their allocated tickets but the stadium is not full.

Crap just realized I put the Coupe de France information in the wrong thread!

Well 16,000km is a hell of a distance to travel for one cup final. Much easier just to go into Sydney to watch the game from the Celtic Bar. Hell I'd think the country would be over capacity if Celtic brought their whole worldwide support for the game let alone the stadium.
