Both Celtic and Rangers have more officially registered supporters clubs world wide than anybody else. Think this is just because of the number of Scots who migrate, shit we are everywhere.Kowalczyk schreef:Interesting to see that Celtic are the only club from a 'small' country, probably because they have this insanely enormous Irish following all over the world. They have like 50 fanclubs in the United States alone. So their profit from merchandise is (and always will be) much bigger than Ajax's. But in almost every other respect Ajax should normally be able to compete financially with clubs from Scotland, I would say.
K.
Ko, think that Celtic have over 50,000 season ticket holders and the average cost is about the 750 euro mark, that alone gives them a head start over Ajax and any other Dutch club. Plus as you say merchandising is far more successfull than Ajax. As we have talked about previously Ajax are criminally undermarketed on a world wide basis.
Jamcocteau has pretty much explained why Celtic take in more money than Ajax. It should also be noted that Celtic Park has a capacity that is 25% greater than the Arena.
