It's almost inevitable, if not sooner then at least by March

looking at the Liverpool seat map it looks pretty full so we might break the 85K there like in the CL last season
Just got some tickets for this as I’m suddenly free on Saturday
Looks like it could be close to a sell out...or are the club playing funny fuckers & making it look that way so folk panic buy?

I thought that sounded really low so I checked. You're obviously correct.
Turns out the Scottish league record is 118k (Ibrox, Old Firm, 1939).
All British/European attendance records (Internationals, Domestic Cup, European Cup) are held at Hampden at around 146k - 149k.
Unsurprisingly the top 10 International attendance records are all held by Hampden for Scotland vs England games
Any records i've heard quoted in past must have been the British records.
Shocked that the difference is so vast though.
Anyway, hopefully we'll beat it a few times this season. Liverpool and then Scum games at least.
EDIT:
Scottish Junior Cup 77,650 Hampden Park Petershill v Irvine Meadow 19 May 1951
WTF!!!??
EDIT2:
Wikipedia is dangerous
Is Aurier back for this game?
Surely Tripps plays v Cherries, Aurier v Real Tuesday?
So is The Scotsman.....
Scotland’s all-time record football attendances
Unbelievably, looks like it's true!
What a great stat to hit Spammers with
"fuckin' 'ell mite, your biggest crowd is smaller than Petershill v Irvine Meadow
:eriksenlol:
I reckon they have set up a system where they set random seats for sale at a time. Then another batch of random seats. Making it look like theyve sold loads of tickets.
The Burnley game looked sold out
Certainly seems that way. Went back to see if I could get a couple more tickets & two whole new “green” sections had appeared at the opposite end of the ground. Ah well, may have to wait to break the attendance record for a league game. No biggie. It will definitely happen before the end of the year.
We really need to fucking hammer this lot, otherwise if it's a 1-0 affair, the media will just move on to 'it was only little ol' Bournemouth' (and they haven't properly shaken off the Wembley hoodoo).
A nice 4/5-0 will do the world of good.

I imagine we will look a little nervous in thsi game at first but hopefully we'll get a goal and then roll on and get some more.
I picked my ticket at beginning of September and most of the end blocks of tier 5 were green, but with entire rows ghosted out. So, they're probably trying to avoid having obvious gaps
