Glasgow Areas

Is this a fair representation of the areas of Glasgow is regards to the number of Celtic/Huns fans living in those areas? Obviously me living where I do gives me a limited view of things



Opinions?

 

Fairly accurate i'd say.

Think there should be more red though...I've never found the west end to lean either way. Going on the pubs on Dumbarton Road maybe slightly more Rangers but definitely not dark blue. Remember as well that 9/18 would take in Bridgeton.

 

In fact, looking at it again, the problem is the map is far too simplistic.

 

In what way mo chara?

 

I'm not saying that it is geographically inaccurate, but within the designated 21 areas are very specific communities. Off the top of my head:

Possil
Possil Park
Parkhouse
Milton
Bridgeton
Hyndland/Dowanhill
Firhill
Cowcaddens
Ibrox
Tradeston
Dennistoun
Ruchazie
Easterhouse

And more...

These areas/districts all have borders within borders and some with very unclear boundaries - and yet, some very clear football allegiances. Splitting the city into 21 areas makes Glasgow seem smaller than it actually is.

 

I live in a "huns" area...

:icon_mrgreen:

Also, the only Rangers fans in my family live in a "Celtic" area.

 

I'd do one for all 79 if that'd make it more accurate for you? Although a guy from Manchester doing one wouldn't exactly be the best idea tbh.

 

Find areas with a high numbers of RC schools\ pupils\RC Churches, not foolproof, but should be a decent indicator of mix.:icon_mrgreen:

 

I imagine it would be more accurate mate, yeah. What's this for anyway?

 

I stay in Renfrew, so basically 80/20 split in Sevco favour.

 

I thought Govan was a major Hun area?

Where's Larkhall?

 

South Lanarkshire mate, nowhere near.

 

Ah I see... :smiley-laughing002:

Scottish geography isn't my strongest point, obviously!

 

How about this one Breenzo?
Its just for some work i'm doing btw.

 

Oooft haha! You got they key for it?

How is/did bridgeton become such a hun area, even though its so near parkhead/East end which is obviously a Celtic supporting area

 

I've never actually noticed more huns in Nitshill....suppose they're best not to be seen.

 

Billy Fullerton and the Bridgeton (Brigton) Billy Boys Gang Glasgow

The city of Glasgow in Scotland has had a long association with gangs. One of its most notorious gangs was the Brigton Billy Boys, a sectarian anti-Catholic gang from Bridgeton Cross in the east end of Glasgow. The gang was formed in 1924 by Bridgeton born and bred William Fullerton after he was attacked by a group of Catholic youths on nearby Glasgow Green. The gang was actually named after King William of Orange, with Billy Fullerton as its leader. Fullerton came from Franklin Street in the heart of Bridgeton.​

Bridgeton in the 1920s/30s is often incorrectly portrayed as a staunchly Protestant area (because of its association with the Billy Boys gang). In reality, the area was very mixed and had a substantial Roman Catholic population, the vast majority of whom were descendants of 19th century Catholic Irish immigrants. In the 1920s/30s, the Glasgow Bridgeton parliamentary constituency - which was composed of Bridgeton, Calton and Dalmarnock - had the highest number of Catholic voters of all the parliamentary seats in Glasgow. It had even more Catholic voters than the Glasgow Gorbals parliamentary constituency, which was composed of Hutchesontown and Laurieston. In fact, the Glasgow Bridgeton seat had the 2nd highest number of Catholic voters in Great Britain. Only a constituency in the English city of Liverpool had a larger Catholic electorate. The Glasgow Gorbals seat was the 2nd most Catholic constituency in Glasgow and it also had a significant Jewish population in its Laurieston district..........​
