Sunderland had only a "paltry" 39k at the match on Saturday. Not bad considering how awful they are. Plenty of empty seats but that is because the stadium capacity at 49k is too large for the size of the club. The overall PL product is not stale, it will just vary according to the ups and downs of each club

Won't deny I'm playing Devils advocate here but Celtic's fans would have filled that 10k space easy bringing revenue to Sunderland, they're considerably closer to Sunderland than Southampton and if in EPL would have the backing of a lot of fans in Eire and lots of Anglo based Irish as a team with a strong Irish heritage so could take a large away support all over, thereby spreading the brand of EPL further afield.

I'm no fan but a full Celtic Park looks like one of the best stadia around in terms of atmos and size. Looks better in red though

I was at Celtic park for the first time a couple of years ago for the Inter CL match.
Fabulous atmosphere and the 60,000 crowd were great even though Celtic got a good hiding.
Standing ovation to one of the Inter players [man of the match] when he was subbed with 20 minutes to go.

Celtics average is 47,000 over the last 6 years, were's these 60,000 crowds you talk about or are they European nights only?

Well they could add comedy value to a UK league

Why the hell would England want Scottish teams down South, the last time Rangers visited Manchester there was carnage, English fans themselves have disgraced themselves in Ireland. Celtic fans chanting at Ross County in favour of the IRA during the Remembrance SIlence would produce havoc when combined with some of the English idiots,
Never the twain should meet.
