    I thought that was a decent turnout. Look at other clubs around europe and their attendances before criticising ours.

    yes but we are used to having full house with a roaring passionate fan base. To me we can see clearly that we are in a crisis. The board have to act and get rid of TM

    I think the low attendance tonight is down to a number of things, the board not supporting a new manager in the proper way ie money.
    The team playing total rubbish football.
    The team badly needing freshened up, get new guys in and the crap out.
    The atmo at celtic park is another factor, its like a bowling green now. No passion.
    I am in 445 in between the rude bhoys and the jungle bhoys and the guys on my left sing the whole game, pitty the rest of the stand ( never mind stadium ) couldnt join in.
    I was looking forward to the group of games, but its just turned into one disaster after another :38:

    Definitely a bit of both! At the end of the day I dont think many people want to pay for a steak and get a happy meal!

    good points. i was really looking forward to these games as well as in the champions league you know a right spanking is never far away and i thought europa was more our level and we could compete in there and maybe even have a decent run. how wrong i was. i didn't realise we were quite this awful. thats what years of nil investment do to a team i guess.

    wrong. what we have to do is act and get rid of the board. you have to get away from pointing the finger at the coach whether its mowbray or strachan. this is a poor squad of players doing what poor players do - losing.

    cost me £32 when i asked some of my mates who didnt want to go why? and people in the pub why there not going and in work the answer was always the same "* paying that"

    and tbh £32 to go see us pay tel-aviv when we will probs be all but out. I think i might be on the same boat * paying that.

    Bit of a mixed answer then guys. Some guys won't pay to see 'that' and some simply cant justify paying to see it. And a guy in a pub an hour before the game cant even give tickets away? Dark days indeed. If Celtic are now financially stable surely they can do more to fill the ground.

    I bought the 3 match package but thought it was over-priced for the Europa League to be honest.

    If prices had been dropped to £60 for the 3 games, the stadium would have been sold out.

    Spot on mate. This board are ripping the pish the way they have downsized the playing staff, over the past few years.

    dont want to sound like a freak! but 38.000? thats still more than most stadiums in europe still! no that bad tbh. but the possible reasons why it wasnt a full house-

    folk could be working,or not get back in time for the game?
    people might not be able to afford to go this time?
    the game was on television?
    or perhaps they dont want to go and watch a spineless team not doing the dammage?
    it could be whatever! i had a ticket but i couldnt get away from work early so i gave it to ma pal.thats my reason. but i hope im there for the final match tbh.
