Great effort

 

[jaws73]

Friday night against Stirling Albion.

Mightily impressive.

 

[Ticketybloo]

Impressive turn out for a Friday evening game against lower league opposition. But. Would you expect any different???

 

[simply_the_best]

Some top flight English sides would bite your hand off for an attendance like that, fantastic.

 

[beowulf]

Gives The Beanos (Stirling) a nice boost to their coffers.

 

[Clay Davis]

Will be huge for Stirling Albion.

 

[NYC Davie]

Friday night against Stirling Albion.

Mightily impressive.

And on the telly as well Jaws! Magnificent attendance - and no need to either exaggerate or cover seats with flags

 

[beowulf]

Some top flight English sides would bite your hand off for an attendance like, fantastic.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. Rangers fans have proved themselves over the last 10 years to be the most loyal fans in the UK well ahead of clubs less illustrious than Rangers.

 

[Family bam]

Remarkable attendance on a Friday night live on telly.
Well done again Bears.

There are no clubs more illustrious then Rangers !

 

[cm72]

Amazing!

 

[Trackday]

That's some crowd. Brilliant.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Well done Bears

 

[Bada-Bing]

And a honest attendance. Not like the filth across the city.

 

[nithbear]

Tremendous support.... cap doffed to all in attendance; including the 800+ Stirling Albion.
WATP

 

[Davester]

Good one for the young team to attend. Game, then into town for a few.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Just you wait. There'll 38k at Alloa tomorrow.

Seriously though, another fantastic turn out by our support.

 

[Andrew webb]

Wow

 

[Johnny.mcb]

What a fantastic crowd that is for a live TV game on a Friday night when nobody has any money in January against a lowly league club. Amazing and I wonder how much Stirling got from it as well

 

[Jorg Albertz]

Great crowd that. How much of the ticket sales do Stirling get?

 

[govantrueblue]

Superb attendance.
Fair play also to the Albion fans.

 

[Carson’s chosen few]

Ronseal.

And many more like me will have took yen hit and paid but couldn’t attend

 

[Johnny.mcb]

Great crowd that. How much of the ticket sales do Stirling get?

I’ve asked the same question I wonder if it’s half the gate recipes if it is it must be over £150000 after costs are taken off. Brilliant for them

 

[DerekSSR]

Really good attendance, especially with the traffic problems etc.

 

[SSR]

Maybe even more..

 

[True Blue]

An excellent attendance .

 

[Johnny.mcb]

Extra zero there me thinks

Sorry changed it now

 

[nasalsinatra]

That is an incredible turnout for this fixture.

Great crowd that. How much of the ticket sales do Stirling get?

I understand the receipts in cup ties are split 60%/40% in favour of the home side to take account of the extra admin costs, security etc. incurred by that club.

 

[JAC_1966]

Good attendance and good to see some other players getting a chance.

Hope the drunk ned near the back of BR 3 that was acting like it was a cup final against Celtic got home safe

 

[mdingwall]

Stirling will get around £300,000 from that.

 

[TheScotty]

Looked about 10000 2 minutes before kick off.

Lots of last minutes arrivals tonight.

 

[bilkobear]

Stirling will get around £300,000 from that.

Wow. What a boost for the wee club.
That will surely see them up a division or two if used properly.?

 

[JamboReid1874]

Impressed but not surprised.

 

[scottie59]

Friday night against Stirling Albion.

Mightily impressive.

And a nice payday for Stirling and credit for bringing a support the way they did 800 of them fair play

 

[Bluejersey]

fantastic numbers

Newcastle United, without a domestic trophy since 1955, had a 52,000 sell out v Cambridge the other week, and they got beat! Loads of loyal fanbases in the UK tbh.

 

[Porrohman]

outstanding support from the Bears tonight and great atmosphere as always
well done Bears

 

[sonowilliam1]

Great attendance,i had a small wager on with the young man that we would hit 35,000 delighted that it came in

Although when i got there at quarter to seven it didn't look promising as it was earily quiter than usual.

 

[Blaew]

It looked more than that! I suppose the back of the Broomloan and hospitality looked down on numbers.

It was also one less than reported as I scanned my friends ST in for them as they couldn't make it last minute

 

[Blue Light Loyal]

Aye but they’ve not got the expense of European fixtures, home and away usually into the spring coupled with cup runs to the semi or final most seasons…

Can’t remember watching that on tv on a Friday night. Must have missed it.

 

[The Ranger]

Great attendance but I think what makes it more impressive up in Scotland with Rangers, we don't have teams from the epl ever week or even teams from the English championship to look forward too. Rangers fan's generate their own loyalty. Think it's easier to keep going when they're are bigger games about.

 

[bilkobear]

Great support in a huge city with no other sizable teams.
Newcastle has just had an immense injection of enthusiasm after the take over so it is indeed a bit of an unusual situation.
They wouldn't have attracted this crowd last season with a game on television.
But that doesn't detract from their great support.

Further, there is a far more relaxed attitude to attending events in England for the causal supporter due to the huge difference in authoritarian political imposition.
In Glasgow, a lot of possible attendees tonight just thought fck it, and to hell with their fckn jabs and they can stick their 'show me your papers' up their fckn arses.
Most of these people will be young.

 

[imager]

Gives The Beanos (Stirling) a nice boost to their coffers.

probably about 10 years revenue.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

That's a fantastic turnout for a Friday night game (that's extremely difficult for supporters that have to travel a large distance), live on TV and against less than box office opposition.
One thing that I noticed tonight that differed from normal was the amount of kids at the game.
This was probably due to the amount of tickets available and perhaps some regulars giving up their tickets to their young nieces or nephews to give them the opportunity to finally see The Rangers!
Either way, it gave me a buzz seeing so many youngsters looking so excited approaching Ibrox and pestering their Mums/Dads for a scarf or a hat.
The future's bright.........

 

[Cooperfan]

That is a genuinely massive crowd to attract versus Stirling. Stirling will be skipping all the way to the bank.

They got an estimated £400k, their annual budget is circa £200k.

My boy and his best pal were there tonight.

 

[Rangerista]

What a fantastic attendance!

Our fans have once again displayed our commitment to our club and a healthy respect to our opponents, who leave Ibrox with a substantial amount of money to fund their ongoing operation.

I have to say, as far as week night domestic cup competitions are concerned, it is my opinion that we are far and away the largest support who regularly turn out to support their team.

Duty done for The Rangers, as always.

 

[Cuparbear]

We're simply the best!!
