Yep Celtic made over 7mil for the two games in Sydney and only 3.5m for winning SPL. Of the 41.5 k at the Everton game 40K was Celtic fans.I found some interesting stats about attendance at football games as a % of national population. In Scotland 3.6% of the population regularly attend matches. In England the figure is 2.79. The only places with a higher % are Faroe Islands 10%, Iceland 4.22% and Cyprus 4.03%.
We are one of the most football mad nations in the world and have one of the worst TV deals in Europe.
The people running our game do it and us a great disservice.
Dont know if this is true or not but someone said to me that Celtic made more from Sydney Cup than they do from Sky. Is that true?
Local media said that the organizers of the Sydney Cup are suing the huns for 1.5m.
