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. Easdale was predicted to be investing in Sevco just before share issue.

     

     

    Looks like our new hero Chuckles planned his departure from December.

  2. Gene's a Bhoy's name on

    You know the tune

     

     

    The wheels on the bus are coming off , coming off coming off

     

    The driver on the bus says move along timmy, move along timmy, move along timmy

     

    The wipers on the bus can’t clear the sh*t, clear the sh*t, clear the sh*t

     

    The orcs on the bus say how much now, how much now, how much now

     

    The msm on the bus say another free ride, another free ride, another free ride

     

    The sfa on the bus say sweet fa, sweet fa, sweet fa

     

     

    All day long

  3. I’m still blown away by the news re. Wee Oscar Knox. It really is beginning to look like he may well become Big Oscar.

     

    Miracles really do happen. Along with the wonder that is The NHS.

     

    HH!

  4. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    SSB pundits still got their heads in the sand………

     

     

    Sevco were given a license, conditional on 5 ‘points’ …..with ‘whyte link’ condition having been uncovered, there is only one outcome, SSB……

     

     

    THE LICENSE IS REVOKED……COMPRENDIE…..SIMPLES …….!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

    MON THE BARCA…..

  5. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    Wonder if the price reduction will turn the tide of apathy ? Hope so, but my honest opinion is it’s excitement a lot of us pay for and the SPL doesn’t offer it. The Celtic are taking a fair wee gamble on this policy.

     

     

    The Deadco cheated every club out of money over the years and their present owners see the Deadybears and Scottish football as a gullible cash cow.

  6. Stairheedrammy on

    After all the shenanigans at Ibrok its good to see some honest Scottish businessmen taking over there- eh

  7. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    67 Heaven.Sorry fella what you say should happen but you can bet your shirt it wont they will get there licence.This is Scotland a bigoted wee back water where rules are bent and broken to suit The Rangers. H.H.

    I listened to their show tonight. At one point Guidi indicated the SFA wouldn’t investigate until The Rangers had investigated The Rangers !

  9. 67heaven … i am neil lennon..!!.. ibrox belongs to the creditors

     

     

    In any other country I would agree.

     

     

    I may have spelt country wrong!

    Robin ya greedy b

     

     

    Was thinking the same thing myself. Square ball for a tap in.

    The Celtic are taking a fair wee gamble on this policy.

     

     

    Kinda what I was thinking. I’m wondering why they just didn’t include the 3 CL qualifiers and freeze the price.

     

     

    Still – hats off the the Board!

  12. Looking for technical help, how do you set up ITV1 HD? Used to know how to do it but have long since forgotten. Thanks Hail Hail Hebcelt

  13. From the hun media site….

     

     

     

     

    ‘Made their money from drugs mate, then bought all the buses & taxi in Inverclyde area and majority of Paisley too I’m sure’

     

     

    #######

     

     

    Anyone asked Donald Findlay for his opinion on this development?

     

     

     

    ‘I think the club has lost a bit of dignity and that’s why I say that you’ve got to get the right people with the club’s interests at heart.’

  14. Bada Bing,

     

    cheers pal,thought they might be a bit on the slide with Chuck chucking it,

     

    canny see how anyone would by their shares whilst Craigy bhoy was still on the horizon

  15. EDB

     

     

    I don’t know,but they surely can’t give every other ST holder a circa 20% and not offer us something off.

     

     

    I will not forget you confiding in me .

     

     

    Take care.

  16. I heard Derek Johnstone on SSB a few nights ago say 3 times that The Rangers have £22m in the bank.

     

     

    I was waiting for ..”and you are all going to live happily ever after”

  17. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Well done, Celtic Board…!!!

  18. very happy with announcement on season ticket prices. hopefully celtic sell more, as that would encourage sensible pricing beyond next season. if celtic sell the same amount of season tickets as this season they will be about £2.5 million down, but if they get another 8k into the ground there is no financial loss, but plenty of gain.

     

     

    you can bet the combined wages of Gershon, Miku, Lassad, McCourt, Rogne, bangurra and murphy are more than £2.5 million. less these player our squad looks like:

     

     

    Fraser Forster

     

     

    Adam Matthews, Efe Ambrose, Kevin Wilson, Emilio Izaguirre,

     

     

    James Forrest, Scott Brown, Victor Wanyama, Kris Commons

     

     

    Gary Hooper Anthony Stokes

     

    or…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

     

     

    Lukasz Zaluska

     

     

    Mikael Lustig, Marcus Fraser, Charlie Mulgrew, Joe Chalmers

     

     

    Dylan McGeouch, Beram Kayal, Tom Rogic, Joe Ledley

     

     

    Georgios Samaras, Tony Watt

     

     

    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

     

    as well as:

     

    Filip Twardzik, John Herron, Robbie Thomson, Jackson Irvine, Bahrudin Atajic, Darnell Fisher, Callum McGregor, Paul George, Patrik Twardzik, Stuart Findlay, Lewis Kidd

     

     

     

    with voctor and hooper for the off, we should sign russell and stevens from dundee united, a quality centre back a powerful big centre forward and go with that.

     

     

    hail hail

    I used to watch a comedy show called Soap where unbelievable things would happen to this really odd family- I thought it could never happen in real life and then along came Rangers

    Ally will be disappointed that it’s just money that’s going to be “cleased” at Mordor….! :-)

    My understanding is a 20% across the board – got a text on Sunday stating it from a friend in the know.

     

     

    Obviously I ain’t privvy to what happens in the jewellery rattling seats but I think you’ll be able to afford that ermine antimacassar you’re always on about now…

    This match did not happen last summer, when Chelsea knocked out Barca. Spain-Germany never happened either. Got Bayern to win, but that is known as gambling.
