Potential Old Firm ticket ideas that may make Celtic and Rangers “£75k better off” are revealed by the rivals’ boss.
Potential Old Firm ticket ideas that may make Celtic and Rangers “£75k better off” are revealed by the rivals’ boss.
Fran Smith, the CEO of St Johnstone, has given the go-ahead for further
Old Firm away allocation at McDiarmid Park in the future.
When the East Stand was made available to traveling Rangers supporters during their January Scottish Cup match,
the Saints created a stir among their followers last year. Smith has acknowledged that this might happen once again,
though, as the extra tickets sold to the Celtic and Rangers fan bases will bring in a significant amount of more revenue for St Johnstone.
Fans of St Johnstone may consider increasing their allotment for the Glasgow giants if they are
unable to attract the maximum number of supporters from their homes. Ibrox Stadium and
Celtic Park can accommodate over 50,000 and 60,000 people, respectively, while McDiarmid Park can accommodate 10,740.
Smith clarified that the club needs to generate revenue, which might include the money from further Old Firm allocation,
if Saints supporters “want a better product on the park.”
“As of right now, our fans will be seated in the East Stand, and that will continue until the end of the season.
In a few weeks, Rangers will visit, and later in the season, Celtic will return. With any luck, Rangers will play again in the top six following
At the conclusion of the season, we were always going to go over this again. We’ll talk about it as a board and once more with fan groups. There are several choices. Economically speaking, why wouldn’t we consider maximizing revenue if we aren’t going to fill the East Stand? You’re most likely referring to a £75k increase in value for a single game—a player.
