Wow, at first I thought they just distended the scale to only show the upper end but :laffo: they just made up the bar heights.

I imagine that guy took over ticket sales in the 12/13 season and he made that poster to make himself look better.

The team in question, the Glasgow Rangers, went bankrupt and liquidated in 2012. They reformed as The Rangers, a new company, and club, but had to start again in the third division of Scottish football, at the time the lowest league possible without counting amateur highland leagues. A lot of pisstaking was going on about them being hosed and not being able to keep up the same crowds, since they went from being the historic winners of the 50 Scottish premiership titles to a new club with no history in the lowest leagues. That's the manager at the time, Ally McCoist, and the "chart" is to show how actually they're doing soooo much better because "WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY".

Here's a funny sketch to help you understand the mentality at play here.

(The Ramsden's Cup is a charity sponsored cup only competed for by the lower leagues. The boycotting joke is a reference to Rangers' preponderance to muscle out through political or legal pressure anyone they feel is being unfair (i.e. critical) about them: http://wingsoverscotland.com/hullo-hullo-we-are-the-bully-boys/

Rangers is also historically a British loyalist club with an anti-Irish history, as you can read about in the above article)

But that's all footballers.

Glasgow Celtic games frequently feature "free Palestine" banners.
