Seem to remember attendances at Celtic Park struggling to break the 30,000 mark under Tony Mowbray, but would be interested to know the lowest League Crowd they got with him in the dugout.

And if any Celtic fans have anything to say, please put the Seville Calculator back in the drawer before you answer the question.

Cheers.

BBC match report for his last home game... Celtic 3-0 St Johnstone on Sat 20th March... claims a round 30,000 but obviously a round figure is not very accurate to use. Going by match reports, his only other sub-40k crowd was 36,827 for Celtic 2-0 Hamilton on Boxing Day.

Incidentally, I was at the Hamilton game on Boxing Day and I am shocked with this figure. Thought the crowds were much worse than that.

May 2010 saw a reported crowd of 24k under Neil Lennon v Motherwell:

No point in looking at Celtic's official attendance figures given that a lot of them are basically made up.

Pretty much.

I believe they justify it by counting all season ticket holders as in attendance, regardless of whether they do turn up or not.

Don't just about every club do this.

NOt in my experience they don't. We certainly don't.

I was at Celtic Park for our two all draw last season - the official crowd was 46,000 but I'd be amazed if it was much over 30,000. Large swathes of empty seats.

Strange as when we first got into the SPL Celtic had full houses every week and you'd only really see spaces for cup games.

I seem to remember one midweek game where Paul Mitchell or whoever announced the crowd as 30k or 33k, and even Murdo Macleod scoffed and went "pfft, aye right".
