We have a massive dormant support,sadly dormant being the operative word. Crowds are dwindling due to the poor footballing spectacle, dislike of the manager and his tactics in some elements of the support and a general malaise that is affecting all of Scottish Football, due in part to the domination of the Infirm and the excessive live TV matches shown on terrestrial and satelite(usually on or both of Rantic/ Celgers playing away from home).Quote:

This is the most constructive debate i ve seen in ages. Well done to our Scottish friends. i 'm still a Celtic supporter but its nice to get some good background history. Gary and Colm dont get too excited and lets keep this constructive. Tell me , do Hibs have potential fan wise in Edinburgh to maybe move on another level financially speaking. And is the policy of signing unknown foreigners and turning them into decent players still active at the club.
Our policy has changed sluightly, most of our exciting young team are from Edinburgh and the surrounds, with active youth schemes doing well also in Lanarkshire and Fife (traditional Celgers country). Derek Roirdan, Garry O'Connor, Kevin Thompson, Scott Brown, and a few others all have great potential.
Mattias Doumbe is our only young foriegn star. Signed by McLeish the Hun, he has developed into a very good centre half. Sadly Celtic have already been linked with him, continuing their 115 year History of 'stealing' our best players.
