Tonight's crowd was 37,916

[Captain Cutlass]

And to be fair, they brought a sizeable crowd along tonight as well.
Much more than a lot of Premier League sides so good on them!

 

[Texas ranger]

Stirling will get around £300,000 from that.

A few years worth of gate revenue ?

Rangers have done far more than any other club in Scotland in regards to assisting lower league clubs with our travels through the leagues.

Put a lot of top flight supports to shame number wise.

 

[BallaratBear]

Loyal & true as always. We’ll done bears!

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

It’s what we do.

A very enjoyable Friday evening at Ibrox, home of the champions.

I think they brought about 10 x the support that Livingston bring!

 

[Careca]

Hope they make a few Bob. Missed my train stop with Friday night fun but would like to see more Friday games

 

[Marc]

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

Fair play to them. More than several SPL clubs

 

[GR4Dave]

Looked about 10000 2 minutes before kick off.

Lots of last minutes arrivals tonight.

There was late queue’s all outside the stadium. I queue’d at the turnstiles for 25 minutes in Govan Rear and got in 15 minutes after kick off. Loads of fans still outside well after the start.

 

[GeordieRanger]

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.

Not sure about that mate. Imagine being a fan of a team without a league title for almost 100 years! Without a domestic trophy of any description for almost 70 years!

And to be honest I watch both Rangers and Newcastle and belive me, regardless of opposition, Rangers are far more enjoyable!

 

[GeordieRanger]

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.

Tbf Newcastle also had over 52,000 against Oxford in the FA Cup with Muke Ashley and Steve Bruce there!

Also Newcastle isn't that big a city really. It's well down the list of UK cities when it comes to population.

I was actually at the NUFC v Cambridge match and my vaccine status was checked when I was waiting outside the turnstiles.

 

[rangeral]

Great crowd for time of year and day played on

 

[IslayGer]

It’s what we do.

A very enjoyable Friday evening at Ibrox, home of the champions.

Loved the trip out from Islay for the match. Great to see a good crowd on a Friday evening.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

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

Yes, it was a decent atmosphere for such a straightforward match.

I did notice quite a few families ( Maw,Paw,Kids ) which was nice. I’d guess quite a few Ibrox debuts at those prices.

Lowry & King we’re the highlights for me.

Good wee night.

Newcastle charge for £10 for these FA Cup ties too. Think it was £20 odd for our game last night.

Not disputing your point about Newcastle fans btw, just pointing out that sometimes there’s nuance to these things

Yes that is true. Was a tenner up until the day of the game when the price doubles to £20. However as it was sold out a few days beforehand nobody ended up paying £20 for their ticket. Also 4,800 Cambridge fans were present as well.

 

[BlueBritain55]

Pleased for Stirling Albion. Played for them at youth level, great wee Club.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

Out of interest, does anyone know how this compares with pre-pandemic attendances at this stage of the cup?

 

[Garybluebear]

That is a great effort bears.

So was I. I like getting down to watch Newcastle when I can.

Much more palatable now Ashley doesn’t benefit too!

 

[HIHI]

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

Thought you meant all the kids going to the game with their dad for the first time!
What an experience for the next generation of bears!

I am not criticising the Geordie support.
I am a huge admirer of them.
I well remember them coming to Ibrox in the Fairs Cup and filling most of the Filth end.
They were tremendous.

 

[Govan_Guy]

I scanned my friends ST in for them as they couldn't make it last minute

It's a cup game so no benefit in doing that

 

[WDYGH]

Outstanding as ever. The greatest support in the land.

 

[Blaew]

Aye I know but you never know with the TO and how they make up rules as they go along

 

[Eastern province bear]

We are Scottish football

 

[Thesuperger]

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.

Probably the world mate.
