This morning’s images of a chain of people snaking around the Celtic Park ticket office and out towards London Road is remarkable. Even more so when you consider more people were buying season tickets online than queueing from the small hours to make sure they can support Celtic next season.
Frankly, I didn’t think we’d see sights like this until we saw a change in playing environment.
Season ticket sales, together with recent commercial deals concluded with Dafabet and Magners, puts the club on an enormously better financial footing, but the benefits extend beyond what we see today. Peripheral income, such as match day spent at the superstore and at kiosks, will have a corresponding lift.
Now if we get Champions League income on top of this………….

The stumbling block over hear is the work permit, summit most South Americans don’t need to play in portugal

It’s not the mediocre players I’m concerned about, it’s mediocre attitudes…
I don’t think we’ll have this problem from here on out.

Masty-
I thought that wasn’t a problem if they are established internationals such as Izzy?
BMCUW hope you are well, haven’t seen you in a while. Mostly lurking at the moment, i dont have to moan on here i can do it to BT, hes a great shrink :-) Was good to see TBM a few weeks ago he always has great chat. When is the next hootenanny or have you decided to hold them abroad (dublin) looking forward to hearing the stories from that trip.
I suggested on here a couple of years ago that we should have used the time of lower Celtic Park crowds to close the main stand and redevelop the stadium adding a top tier and completing Fergus McCann’s dream. That would have taken our capacity up to 75,000.
As usual everyone thought I was daft!

Everyone was right :¬)

I read on Sky website that Zlatan is to drop his bomb tomorrow. I hope he drops it o’er the Sooside and does a proper job too. I know am fantasising, but if he was to announce he’s to follow in the King of Kings footsteps and join the Famous Glasgow Celtic, there would be suicides on the Sooside, for sure…
Was it Lustig who played the superb log ball for Guidetti’s goal against Wales?
Zlatan toyed with the Dragons, before he went off for an early pint.

Excellent contribution – first class
Following up on the travel advice from POGMATHONYAHUN and CLASHCITYBHOY last night (thanks again chaps!!!!), does anyone know if Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan is about?
CCB indicated that BRTH is another knowledgeable man for Lake Garda information.

Can anyone enlighten me to the `events` that happened after the SC semi? Was DD subjected to sectarian singing, or was it not the case that he had left before then? Genuine replies hoped for, not taxi driver tales.
WC, is Britsin the opposite of Brexit? ;-)
TIMALOY@4:29
Agree 100%
Always say so – always take heavy flak

Good points well made.
Do you think Brendan would have taken job without the prospect of ‘Rangers’ in same league?
RESOLUTION BEATS RE12TANCE t-shirt bought – a neat-fitting XL :-)
Looking forward to bumping in to other CQNers when wearing it around Europe this summer (and hopefully spoiling any Hun’s day)!

The Rangers (IL) CEO commented last week that there had been “significant exuberance” in the Sevco directors area after the penalty shoot out. Make of that what you will.
Not the usual decorum expected. More than that nobody knows for sure.
WINNINGCAPTAINS@5:23
You couldn’t seriously consider an increase in capacity when ST sales were dropping to circa 40k (66%) – see TBB @3:49.
I actually thought we had ‘plateaued out’ and was so worried about half-empty ground that I suggested that, like AC Milan and many others, a 40k stadium should be our aim – I am of course delighted to have been proven wrong.
Fun fact: No club with Rangers in its name has ever played in the SPFL Premiership
WINNING CAPTAINS
Regards stadium, having sat in ES2 for circa 25 years I would be happy with a smidge more legroom and better catering and toilets.
Make that 28 years! I’m getting auld!

Twas a great Gig …He sounded so vibrant and yer right, Young backing band superb…
Wee downside for me was …..Just as he kicked into Unknown Legend I realised I left ma
Mobile in the Hotel across the street Feck sake.But managed to trace it…Then swiftly
back to Gig……….I said to my daughter on way to Gig wonder if he will do Alabama
A kind of tenious link to Cassius….and Yes He he nailed it lol.
H.H.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Apologies for the late response, but was doing chores before ‘She who must be obeyed’ gets back from work!
Yes it was a great night. He’s still got it.
My daughter who is 21 was amazed at his energy.
Delighted he did ‘Winterlong’ which is one of my favourite songs.
He has such an extensive back catalogue that it’s impossible to play everybody’s favourites.
See he is in Belfast tomorrow then Dublin the day after.
Playing four dates in Italy in mid July and was hoping to see him in Lucca on the 16th, but won’t be there unfortunately.
Any other CQNers there last night I wonder?
HH!!
When Sevco get relegated next May we should do it then!
Winnings. Ignoring some,of the wanton revisionism on the site today, are Celtic doing anything about res12?

My position on PL – the best CEO in the UK – but for balance I do not believe he is the best scout, talent spotter, manager or anything else he decides he wants to be in charge of – I am hopeful Brendan has the control of all football related matters

This is often stated as fact and it’s not the case.
Peter Lawwell does not sign players and he never has. The manager has always had the final say on players and Lawwell’s involvement is related to negotiating deals.
Not true,ask Tony Mowbray about Edson Brafied. He turned up at Lennoxtown in a Celtic track suit and a bag,BTM thought he was a guy who won a competition to have a tour of the place. Nobody had heard of him. A Peter Lawwell/John Park production,100%.

Please be guarded in what you tell him, if anything. He deserves nothing from this blog in my not so humble opinion.

The submission was posted rather than emailed with a hard copy in the post to Celtic a week ago on Friday.
Celtic were expecting it and had it arrived would have spoken by now.
It arrived the following Tuesday and although PL was on his holiday last week he was up to speed with developments.
Things changed for the good when CQN (mostly) crowd funded the ad in Tribune de Geneve last Wednesday, annoyingly enough for the SFA on the day of their AGM.
Of course CQN knew what they were going to say as we had been to see them on this very subject and were able to push the the thing forward.
Obstacles have been put in our way and have been tongue biting for a while on this but more tomorrow!
Holidays are over, suggested content has Ben to and frowed so there is buy in all round. If anyone then says I am not happy because then it can be levelled against them that everyone else only proceeded on the basis that they previously bought in to the narrative.
When the club speaks our tshirts are going to sell faster that season tickets this morning so get yours tonight…
So to cut s long story short, yes they will.

WANTON REVISIONISM
Don’t you mean ‘rampant optimism’ – nothing wrong with it, mixed with a dash of realism, it ensures the future of the human race, and makes the world go round. HH
Saw Neil Young twice in the 90s,both at SECC as it was called at the time.
The first gig he played with Booker T as his backing band and the set-list was full of Neil’s more accoustic numbers.Harvest Moon wasn’t long out so there were a few from that as well as old classics the highlight,for me,being Old Man and Like A Hurricane.
The second show had Crazy Horse and the set-list was almost completely different.Watching Powderfinger live is something I will never forget.
The guy is a unique musical genius and has gifted us one of the very best back catalogues in popular music history.
Long may he run.
