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.

    In the day of Noel and Stevie going about stamping everyone I was lucky to meet them and also Noel helped my daughter fund raise last year with a donation..

     

     

    Heraldo I met in the old babbity’s but never heard from him since.

     

     

    The old Subterranean with his old dog is a great miss as well…even before he had the dog.

     

     

    ach I could mention the CQN blue blog but I would not embarass Paul

    As an ex-pat being 8 hours behind the news at home, I am (and I use present tense intentionally) accustomed to your contributions keeping me up to date, nay informed, of all events concerning CelticFC and Timdom.

     

     

    I beseech you to reconsider your position on behalf of all the others like myself, who use Paul’s wonderful creation as a lifeline and a medium to feel that wee bit closer to Paradise.

    Like yourself I scroll past, but the problems is I get the gist of what they are saying from other posts that are replying to them.

     

     

    I blame myself for getting really annoyed with ultra right wing views.

    I don’t read enough of CQN post 6pm to really know the heart of anything – any given day I’m a 5am rise.

     

     

    I don’t know Kojo in anyway shape or form. But he’s a very intelligent man and his sentences deserve scrutiny. But I also trust guys like yourself and SFTB implicitly so I know the aspersions are not being cast without some weight of proof.

     

     

    I am not excusing anyone here, but you need to watch Kojo’s rope a dope syntax – it’s very, very well thought out.

     

     

    I trust that in recent times there has been a fundamental ground sway in response to what has been posted, but, like Arsene Wenger, I ain’t read it. But what I do see is divisiveness and respected web friends like SFTB taking sabbaticals. That’s wrong. But the interweb isn’t going to be a magical pub full of like-minded pals.

     

     

    B) Depends on the time of said 5s – plus the necessity of a parked ERT Ambulance. But yeah I’d like to get my heart pun[ping dangerously whilst pretending foolishly I’m still young enough to be selected for the ‘Big Show’…

    I read back this morning and it was pointed out to me, by the scurrilous poster PedrocarravanchanicoC67 that I’d messed up my hun glasgow airport job vacancy advert. So here it is again with the typo corrected.

     

    ……………………………………………………………………….

     

     

     

    Retail Sales Assistants Required

     

     

    Full and Part Time Opportunities

     

     

    WE are delighted to announce that Sevco 5088 Retail will be opening a new branch located at Glasgow Airport within the next few weeks and we are therefore looking for exceptionally bigoted candidates to be part of a new Retail Sales Team.

     

     

    Retail Sales Assistant – Full time x 1 (40 hours) and Part time x 3 (16 hours)

     

     

    You’ll be at the heart of the action, making sure we deliver an outstanding service each and every time. Expect loads of variety.

     

     

    Whether you’re keeping our queues short by threatening undesirables, mocking travelling papes or creating dazzling store displays mostly involving the color orange, you’ll play a vital role in delighting our customers with your flute and drum skills. Greeting them with a smile and a shout of FTP, you’ll help out everywhere from the tills to mopping blood from the shop floor to thieving from other airport shop stock rooms.

     

     

    You’ll need bags of hatred and a heid up yer arse attitude to succeed in this role. You also need to be flexible about shifts and willing to roll your sleeves up to show your five star tattoo and get things done.

     

     

    If you’re bigoted, ambitious and willing to learn 17th century history, we’ll ensure you receive all the training and weaponry you need to progress to Brigade commander level in no time at all.

     

     

    Whether you’re looking for your first role in retail sales, or wish to develop your career into a full paramilitary direction working for a “different” sort of company, or are changing career paths in the final direction of prison, there may well be an opportunity that’s perfect for you.

     

     

    If you think you are the right person to join our new Retail front please email your CV to recruitment@sevco5088.co.uk

     

     

     

    Haw!

    It should be with you now but from my other address which has 1163 in it.

     

     

    Had to forward it to myself before I could resend it!!!!!

     

     

    It may be in your junk folder.

     

     

    Hopefully you can make it as the times are not hard and fast-merely a guide.

    I’ll be picking Jungle Jim up as a prelude to the formation of The The ACGR taxi PLC (formerly known as The ACGR taxi LTD). I’m reliably informed he’ll be sleeping late as he’s a heavy night on the friday and enjoys a lie in on a saturday followed by a huge breakfast, he must be heading up the coconut grove or something similar, I dont know the deatails he’s a bad wan so e is.

     

     

    Plus, he wears a mexican bunnet on Arbroath links.

    Will do.

     

     

    Give me a few minutes-not on the user friendly laptop though so takes a bit of time.

  20. Before I even contemplate having another session with CQNers – can I just ask – has anybody been to a meet up and the next day your partner asks – who did you meet – and it immediately gets vague – then there’s glimpses – and you get all excited and you say X login name and Y login name and Z login name… And who are they? Asks herself…

     

     

    … And you start off quite confident, but it trickles off early, very early…

     

     

    …cannae remember…

    You need to learn some tact. Allow me to assist.

     

     

    ACGR: BTW babe, I’ll be in Glaggow next saturday night, booking into the hilton or the mariott.

     

     

    Mrs ACGR: Why?

     

     

    ACGR: I told you I’m going to a Celtic night out with loads of people I dont know. Should be a good night out.

     

     

    Mrs ACGR: Are you stupid?

     

     

    ACGR: I’ll tell you on sunday over dinner babe. BTW, I’ve saved a fortune by booking into a really cheap hotel instead of the hilton or the mariott.

     

     

    Mrs ACGR: Do you think I’m stupid?

     

     

     

    Exit ACGR grinning with cunningness……………………ha ha ha she fell for that old one yet again.
