Cash windfall for Celtic fans

998

Readers of Celtic Quick News will know that our club has not been out of debt since Fergus gathered up our cash in 1994 and set about building the new stadium.  19 years later, with the mad arms race which consumed Scottish football over, we stand on the verge of coming out of debt.

The full consequences of this will not be known for years to come but the first material benefit is the £100 discount per season ticket Celtic announced today.  We’re no longer in debt, we can team-build in a measured and sustainable manner, and with Champions League money in the bank, Celtic have cut prices.

I know season ticket holders who missed out on the Barcelona, Spartak and Benfica games as, on top of everything else, they could not afford Champions League tickets.  If we get back to the group stage next season, supporters will be able to buy their season tickets and Champions League group tickets for less money than they paid for SPL tickets this season.

The return of the £50 under-13 ticket is also very welcome, along with a tiered level for older children.  With so many competing distractions, it is important that we bring as many young people into our community as possible.

Peter Lawwell’s comments underline the importance of bums on seats to everything that happens at Celtic, “The backing of our fans has, as ever, been crucial.  Domestically and in Europe they have once again been right with us and we felt it important that we rewarded their commitment by making this gesture”.

More welcome good news for the Champions.

  1. So,

     

     

    Our main share holder is worth £1bn,

     

     

    sevco’s £14m, that only lasts 14 months in sevco land.

     

     

    Well done PL & Celtic on the ticket prices.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Someone posted earlier saying STV had said the £100 off an adult season book was for an eight hour period tomorrow only, asking if this was true.

     

     

    No, its not. The email from the club says you can buy on line from tomorrow but also says “Full details will be in your renewal pack, which will be with you soon”.

     

     

    This is a double bonus for me as I was expecting young acgr to be a full price adult book for the coming season. Happy daze:-)

  3. See before everyone has a shot at Kojo, or TSD…?

     

     

    Can I just ECHO LOUDLY what angel gabriel has pointed out?

     

     

    SFTB has been met in the flesh – I have shared the trip up to Celtic Park with him on two occasions.

     

     

    Kojo and TSD remain a construct of this website. I hope you can understand the weight I just gave that sentence.

     

     

    Everything you consider they are comes down eventually to what you decide they are – because they are nothing more than words.

     

     

    That has nothing to do with moral stance or opinions about transference or assumptions – it’s just what the internet is. It might be available to a trillion billion opinions. But it remains anonymous.

     

     

    And my point from that is latecomers, you should not just concern yourself with what is posted as to thinking why something is posted.

     

     

    All. ALL. Behaviour is meaningful. If you grasp that you’ll sleep better. Maybe not fulfilled – it’s the effin tintetrweb ffs – but better all the same.

    I confess to being a tad annoyed when someone suggests that certain comments are hardly what the site was set up for.

     

     

    Other times I have to agree!

    Bobby I concur, that 15 minutes was well worth the wait. Neil Lennon walking out to a packed paradise (I noticed even a few highlanders hung about for the celebrations) was like a twenty foot tall middle finger to the suits at hampden.

    I’ve watched Kojo’s style, syntax and codex change throughout the years.

     

     

    I’ve noticed when change has changed.

    I reckon you’ll need to bring a fair few of the Oscar bands for Saturday!

     

     

    Looking forward to meeting you et al again.

  17. For what is worth. Ive been on the blog for years but have never been a great blogger but I have met most of the longer term posters. I have saw a few great posters leave including our hosts dad, Winningemell (too many same letters), the original Estadio , DBBIA’s Lenten pilgimage … the usual thing is they all come back.

     

     

    I still wish Heraldo and Noel would do it as well…. As we Know that Stevie cant.

    Agreed.

     

    May i ask if you are back home ?

     

    Due to lurking if not posting here on a daily basis I have gathered

     

    that you hail from up the road in Kilwinning.

     

    Do you use the Irvine csc club ?

     

    Do you know any of the O”Hagan brothers ?

    2 questions

     

     

    1)Do you really think he has moved away from the bigoted views he portrays under multiple posters? I see the same after 4 years!

     

     

    2) Do you want to join Thursday night CQN 5s? There is a waiting list mind, but as we are old gits we get injured easy!

    Embdae ken how I pony up my dues for the iPad version of the annual?

  24. “desperate Celtic forced to slash ticket prices to placate fans”

     

     

    Only a matter of time before we read that somewhere.

  25. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    Chuckles has allegedly agreed to sell his shares (8%) to shareholders who already hold at least 6%, giving them at least 14%. Chuckles apparently holds proxy for a total of 40%.

     

    As with all things Chuck, he doesn’t do nothing for no reason!

     

    There was no need to go public with a deal that hasn’t happened and , if it goes ahead, won’t happen ’til December. Whether it’s racist epithets, attending high profile games sans neckwear, making plainly outlandish claims, throwing down challenges to colleagues or recruiting high profile, out of work scribblers, Chuckles always has a reason.

     

    The MSM have never challenged his fantasies, aside from an interview on STV, and, until keech was given the nod by the cardies’ newest BF, was protected by their inactivity.

     

    Best guess is that Chuck is trying to start a bidding war for a preference on his shares, he knows the jig’s up and that CW not only holds the aces but also that the share price will go through the floor.

     

    The move to Paisley has begun!

    Well said

     

     

    Loved Heraldo.

     

     

    Was a bottle of bud away from meetin Noel way back in the day.

     

     

    Remain in contact with Gemmell and SOAL and Spirit.

     

     

    And if we ever meet I can repeat the absolutely filth strewn 6 or 7 sentences Stevie shared with me in Babbitys one Saturday.

     

     

    I miss Dick Byrne, I miss his humour, I miss his smell, but, most of all i miss the 8 tracks i had of his albums which were mysteriously burned in what the Fire Brigade described as a ‘controlled incident’… Go figure.

     

     

    But La Vita moves on and on and on.

     

     

    There’s still more highs than lows on CQN – my lifestyle makes me a daily reader, my temperament makes me less of a poster – or maybe it’s just my age…?

    Good post Mr Mhgee. As a relative newcomer to the site I quickly learned where to waste my time and where not to. There’s a slack handful of posters who’s words I pass by but that’s the nature of a forum, we don’t need to respond to what we read. I was a timposter on hunmedia for a while and was abused (as I knew I would be) while sticking it to the hun. It was good while it lasted. It was actually brilliant while it lasted:-) But I never felt the need to reply to every hun who called me some of the sickest things imaginable.

     

     

    Anyway, my point is that there are fanny’s in all walks of life, the internet included. It’s the taking of the bait that counts.

     

     

    STFB took the bait, acknowledged that, apologised (probably no particular need for that) and has now exiled himself unnecessarily.

     

     

    I never passed by his posts, he was a great read.
