Well if you start from the situation that a far higher percentage of the population in Scotland attend football matches on a regular basis than is the case in engerlund it does make the point that there is demand for football in Scotland.

What has changed since the rangers revolution and the arrival of the man with the bunnet at Celtic is their average attendancies and season ticket numbers have gone through the roof.

I am convinced that a large part of this is folk wanting to associate with teams that are winning honours.

I do believe that we have done well in increasing season ticket sales over the last five years and that our potential is much greater than today but we would have to up our capacity through re-developing the east stand. The west and the famous five are regularly sold out and we have to offer good facilities if we are to continue to grow.

A team challenging for honours and getting into Europe would benefit from the long-term trend of economic growth and migration into the east of Scotland.
