    I really think alot of people are lacking common sense here. Before "The Big Freeze" there was around 45,000 at each home game. Since then the gates have been down to the 30,000 mark because people cant make it too the game. Do you seriously want people risking the lives to make it across dangerous roads over long distances to get to a game? Sometimes football is less important. I havent been going to the games as I drive from Aberdeen. Me and my girlfreind have season tickets but I wouldnt dare risking her life driving down in these conditions. Does that make me a part time supporter? Am i not faithful through and through??

    The attendances are good ,In 1967 when Celtic were at their height the average attendance was only round 30000 ,there are too many people who suppourt the oldfirm who are just glory hunters

    I wouldn't call my self a "part time fan" because I don't own a season ticket I have only made it to hearts, st mirren, Dundee utd, ICT, Kille at home this season I live on the island of mull doubt yous know where that is but it very hard and expensive to get to games. I go to HS in oban which means I stay there mon - fri so I only get home at weekends and when I got to home games means I don't get home at weekends and tht means not being home for two weeks but I will try and go to as much as I can and I can assure you I will be a ST holder soon

    Doesn't matter where we are in the league or how we're playing, we're not huns and should be there week in, week out, otherwise the tag of best supporters in the world no longer applies. Yes sometimes it's not good to watch but every team goes through bad spells, it's up to us to back the team and be the 13th man - everything that Lenny wanted when he took over, the noise, passion and thunder can make all the difference but the fans haven't responded to his call.

    Our self-titled tag of "best supporters in the world" has not applied for years and is a load of sanctiminious *.

    I no longer have a season book, because on the weekends it is the only time I get to see & spend time with my daughter. As much as Celtic means to me, my daughter is my world. I have so much other time on my hands that I can dedicate to the Hoops, write Celtic, think Celtic & even talk Celtic (geddit?), so the irony is not lost on me that I get to see so few games live.

    As such, the only games I can get along to are the midweek ones. It's not perfect, but it suits my lifestyle - for now.

    Alot of fans travel from England and Ireland, due to the * weather this would have caused alot of the fans to give these couple of matches a miss.

    The attendances certainly look poor at the moment, as people have mentioned the recent bad weather hasn't helped. The weather aside i think we need to put this into context, 60,000 is a massive crowd for a game, there are not many teams in Europe never mind the UK who pull in this sort of attendance. If we can get crowds of 40,000 to watch * football we are doing pretty * well and should be pleased that we have 40,000 loyal fans! Every club has it's casual fans. When the football is good the results are good so naturally the attendances are boosted.
    The football needs to be entertaining to attract the not so passionate fans, sadly at the moment the football isn't great and has driven folk to wanting to spank the under 16's :rolleyes: very funny post :56:

    Ticket prices in Scotland are absoloutley ridiculous. I was in Milan a few years back when we played them I paid £30 for my ticket off Celtic but u could buy them in Milan for €15. Games in Germany generally charge £15-£20. I recently got an e-mail too from Aston Villa (must have signed up for their website) and they were offerin tickets for Villa v Arsenal for £20. That same weekend Celtic were charging supporters £28 for a game against Hearts.

    I have a season ticket so my ticket gets me in every week anyway but these prices need sorted for people who cant get a book.

    I've paid for my season ticket but have only made it to the Hearts, Hibs, Hamilton and Dundee Utd games this season, next one will be the Aberdeen game on 22nd Jan, that doesn't make me a part time supporter, there are many reasons why people can't attend all the games they would like to without the sanctimonious implication that it's because we are glory hunters.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Yes attendances are down, some people are fed up, some can't afford to go to every game and have to pick and chose, some have other commitments in their life, no-one on here knows the reason why some people can't or don't go to the games and no-one has the right to imply it's because they are only "part-time fans" or glory hunters, undoubtedly there is an element of that within our support but the overwhelming implication is that if you don't go you are only part time when clearly that is not always the case. Who gave some fans the right to judge the credentials of other fans.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Apart from the Kilmarnock game then the attendances, although down haven't been completely disastrous considering the current economic climate many fans are faced with.<o:p></o:p>

    Spot on.....we need a few bad years to weed out the people who really couldn't care less. I might even go back should we lose the league again.
