You'd also struggle to find a regular fan (of any club) that would abandon their team based on ticket prices.... which plays into the hands of the rich and greedy. Original northbank statement on twitter set out their plan pretty clearly I'm not arguing with you Doakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now Celtic know that if away fans didn't turn up they could sell that section to Celtic fans who would pay more and pay for the full season to see their team break Scottish records. You haven't damaged or hurt them in the slightest. Instead you've given them money to help them on their way.

guinness Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Celtic filled half the away bit on Saturday with their own supporters. they could not give a toss if we turned up or not. Same for Rangers. they can both fill their grounds with their own muppets. The £30 payers were joined by the ones who had paid less as we were shoehorned into one small bit. Therefore it would not bother them if all other clubs boycotted them. As long as their supporters cough up nothing will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other main issue is that clubs still need to pay wages and other expenses. Cutting the cost to £9 as Shull keeps saying will simply make it unaffordable for clubs to pay current contract salaries and survive. Today's footballers simply won't play for so called professional clubs with reduced/lower wages when they possibly can earn more in the non football environment.

Doakes Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Dickson said: And the ones that did go give Celtic £30 each to help them on their way. If there are like minded groups why not start there? Get together and issue a statement saying that you call on all football fans not to buy season tickets until clubs set their admission prices to a fair level and then back that up by showing intent and boycotting all away matches between now and the end of the season. That would be a proper statement of intent that would grab the attention of those sitting in boardrooms who never pay admission. It was exactly that kind of action that made clubs sit up and take notice back in 2012 when fans threatened to boycott season ticket sales if their chairman didn't vote to boot Sevco down the leagues. Ten or twenty dafties dressed in paper overalls and a mask holding up a banner saying that the £30 they have just paid to get in is expensive isn't doing anything! 45 minutes ago, Dickson said: And Doakes, there lies the problem. You are addicted and you are willing to pay whatever Celtic or any of the other clubs charge. You aren't the solution, you are part of the problem. You're basing all of this on a very black and white view of one situation. If you take that one action on Saturday in isolation, I'd agree, all it really did was raise awareness and turn it into a talking point in the national media. You've got to remember that a lot of these groups hate each other. They don't usually talk to each other. There is no forum other than watching each others actions from afar. Imagine a campaign spreading from Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen as well as St Mirren, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Hamilton, Hibs, Hearts, Livingston, Ross County and St Johnstone fans at the same time? That would be a very rare thing. We're lucky that we have quite a forward thinking group. If more clubs get involved, at that point we would really have an opportunity to do something Edited March 9, 2020 by Doakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 If you bring it down to £9 you are basically going to end up like the Juniors. See how many people watch that. All you would have was 42 even smaller teams than now. £20.00 is , I think, a reasonable amount for working adults with reductions for unemployed, children , OAPs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the various groups involved have or could have independent research to establish the facts. I'm afraid though that Stuart makes a valid point in that fans of Celtic snd Rangers Fans are filling their stadiums at these prices and have reduced seats available to opposition fans to a nominal number.
