Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 31, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2021 What do you identify as fan base? United have millions who claim to support them. Does that equate to a fan base of millions? Back in the day at Burnden you were either Rangers or Celtic based on Protestant or Catholic. Does that equate to size of fan base? As a Protestant I always looked for a Rangers win in an Old Firm game. Rangers v anyone else; not arsed. I never bought a Rangers shirt or any other Rangers merchandise or attended a game. But I did shout “Rangers” in turn. Did this add me to Rangers’ fan base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United play Liverpool and its a global event Celtic play Hearts who bats an eyelid? Rangers play Hibs, arsed They somehow think they’re one of the biggest teams in the world when they’re not. In today’s modern game worldwide fanBase is based on social media followers.

I hate both of the Old Firm arse cheeks with a passion and it may be a global reach based almost entirely on bigotry, but to me there’s absolutely no doubting their global reach, particularly with the 8th generation types in America.

Due to their “Celtic” roots, Celtic FC have fans all over the world, which is why in European competitions they are regularly one of the best supported away teams in Europe.

Don't call me a twat again Then don’t talk like one. Calling Celtic a pub team is just stupid with the fan base they’ve got all over the world. It’s impossible for any calculations to be made accurately for any team but Celtic have massive support and to put it into perspective, according to some of the sites quoting figures, Chelsea are one of the best supported. Seriously, not a chance. Like you I don’t rate Celtic as a club and the Scottish league is poor but I don’t question Celtics worldwide fan base one bit.

Popeye doyle Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I’ve worked in the Far East and Africa and there does seem to be a lot of United fans, even though they’ve never been. The other noticeable thing mentioned, especially in Africa was “London is the best city in the world” even though they hadn’t been to London.

Fact is they aren’t one of the biggest clubs in the world and they are nowhere near one of the biggest supported. It ain’t the 70’s anymore. Times have changed, things have moved on and neither them or Rangers are the worldwide juggernaut you’re claiming them to be. You silly twat.
