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.

    On paper, it depends on the market capitalisation of the company at the time he sells. Obviously, he could cut a deal above or below that price, so there’s no way of knowing for sure. But if Charles Green owns 8%, the paper worth tonight is about £3.2 million.

  3. You know them arch posters, ripping the mick out of the business inspiration posters?

     

     

    I reckon there’s one in Sally’s office, which he now shares with a time share letting agency and a cheap rate sexline call centre, which says – It’s always darkest just before it goes completely black…

     

     

    I reckon

    Yeah, cleansing complete. Green out. Ex con, gangster scrappy in. Sounds like a fit and proper person to me. What could possibly go wrong?

    The muppets involved in and around the Huns board the last few years,would give Tony Soprano’s crew a run for their money.

    Fantastic news from Celtic Park re ticket prices. Those of us who benefited from boys gates prices and more often than not getting lifted over back in the day know that was a great privilege. And then there was the first time a younger Celtic fan asked for a lift over the turnstiles Mister. To this day I’ll never forget that young fourteen stone tim from Blantyre, always wondered how he got on in life. If you are out there son, the back is holding up okay. Thanks to the fusion therapy!

    Do these folks not realise the shares are worthless if CW and Sevco 5088 have title to Mordor and Murray Park?

  8. Interesting development about McGill’s buses.

     

     

    Heard pre-Christmas (from a financial source) that they were looking to sell-out. One of those useless pieces of information that you immediately discard – never thought there might be a connection to Chuckles.

     

     

    I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere – maybe their catering division will start selling tacho(graph)s. :-)

    Celtic First. Thanks fella 3.2 million will keep him in comfort for the rest of his days for very little effort. I have a feeling that he was only there to line his pockets and may have instigated the investigation in order to give him the excuse to walk away and sell his holding. H.H.

    If Benfica and Barca win their european competition, our

     

    CL group would be the toughest group of all time and maybe

     

    a bit more.

    I see were you are coming from as regarding getting the kids to the game and the expense once your in the stadium…captured clientele!

     

    The age group that I feel needs a bit of grace, is the over sixteens…

     

     

    They are expected to pay adult prices while getting payed buttons or are student…

    Q for anyone

     

     

    Did the BBC have the story first?

     

     

    I would guess it didn’t come from Chuck. Here was me thinking the Huns didn’t like the BBC.
