Roofe

Elland, I suppose that depends on one thing:

If they sell Roofe, will they get a replacement who is as good in before the start of the season.

If they can, then do it. If not then keep Roofe and go for promotion.

No Ginger, you cannot evidence that to be the case in the same way Wakey has evidenced the disparity between gates declared and actual gates albeit back in 2013. For all we know actual gates last year could have been anywhere between 19,000 and 50,000.
Does rather beg the question, why do 20,000 people buy season tickets and not bother to attend. Can only be that the standard of football played is so poor they cannot be 'rsed going.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Erm. Yes I can as we have to produce actual attendances for the police in order that they have sufficient officers on duty at any particular game. The “average” home attendance for Celtic is 57,000 and these are all the season ticket holders who for a number of reasons don’t attend games. Therein lies the disparity in numbers.

Whilst on that the article mentions one game in a whole season where the disparity was 20,000 and 15,000 for rangers whereas further on it states it to be nearer 11,000. Typical Daily Record rag sensationalism but you choose that if you like.

The most common reason is that many of our fans are from throughout the whole of the UK (even one in Leeds) and across in Ireland. They buy season books to ensure they get to the games they can travel to, the bigger games, qualification for away tickets, cups and Europe.

So yes, qualified

I love Scotland, as in the scenery. One of the most beautiful places in the world. But the footy is atrocious, 2 very very average L1 teams battling it out between themselves. I’d be very surprised if Roofe goes up there, he’s surely far more ambitious than that?

L1

ffs.

It's a league where 35 year old Kris Boyd can finish top scorer, maybe Rangers/Celtic could do OK in England, but the rest of the teams who make up the league would struggle in L1.

Fwck me, if you’re going to try and wum at least get some of your information right. Boyd is retired ya plank. he scored 33 goals in 4 seasons at Killie and his best years were again back in 2013.

And you also moved the goalposts didn’t you eh? So now Celtic and Rangers are “ok”?

Bloody hell; I know our football isn’t the best league in the world and I’ve absolutely no disregard for Leeds United but some of the stuff said about our two biggest clubs and their followings are just ludicrous.

Top scorer 17/18 Kris Boyd - 18 Goals

<snigger>

You keep moving those goalposts (35 now down to 18) to keep up this notion.

You’ve found something eventually.

League 1

No, I said Kris Boyd, age 35, can be top scorer in the SPL and he was, with 18 goals.

It's there in plain English.
