Champions League football this season has enabled Celtic to achieve a remarkable set of interim financial results for the period 1 June 2012 to 31 December 2012. Turnover was up 71%, a stunning-ageddon figure.
Ticket sales and other stadium revenue was up marginally, to £18.598m (2011: £16.446m), as was merchandising, to £9.847m (2001: £7.821m), both reflecting the ancillary value of Champions League participation, but the big increase was in TV and media income, £21.613m, up from a paltry £5.004m in the same period of 2011.
The only amber flag on the results was the increase in operating costs, from £28.388m to £36.961m, a 30% increase, which will reflect higher bonus payments for Champions League participation, higher wage costs and a more general increase in running costs.
Pre-tax profit came in at £14.944m, leaving net bank debt at £130k.
These are fantastic results from a well-run club which will enable ever-more solid foundations to be laid. We are also one of the few clubs to qualify for the latter stages of the Champions League AND to do so profitably. Congratulations to all.
I’m participating on an online STV preview at 18:30 tonight, looking forward to the small challenge ahead. Hope you can join us.
The event is part of our 125 4 125 campaign – central to reinvigorating the charitable spirit which is part of the club we love. It will be a family occasions, tickets are available at £10 for adults and £5 for children. The night has been organised by several fans working in conjunction with the people at Celtic Charity, so please do your best to support this great occasion. Individual tickets or tables are available, details here.
I’ll see you there.

Miki, GTF
Thanks
Talk of Irish breakfasts at Terminal D in DFW brings back a lot of memories…what is it about UCL games that makes you all sentimental?
Miki67:-) The GTF was in response to your smokin post.
intriguing? Not really.
Its an anagram that includes a hobby and a famous venue. And before you ask, there is no trusing involved:-)
Hail Hail.

A Ceiler Gonof Rust ……that is for another day. UCL makes me miss home. I haven’t see one at CP since 2001. Time passes so quickly. Get back some time….
Right………gonnae try and kip again.
COYBIG!!!!
Miki67, I’m supposed to be working at 08.00, Luckily I’m doing hee haw until 09.00. Then I’ve a lot of stuff to get through (Mrs ACGR wants me to refit the smoke alarm I broke during a previous Celtic experiiance). Then I’ve got some proper work.
I’ll stop everything at 15.10 precisely and get in the ACGR mobile and drive to Carnoustie (theres a clue) and pick up young ACGR. Then it’s Celtic / rebel songs for two hours on the southerly drive to fun city.
Meet my young bro (PC67) and his wee lad, dinner, pints and then the main event.
Thats my life story, whats yours:-).
I love your enthusiasm and you mental take on the hun. You make me laugh often.

Hail Hail
acgr:
was supposed to be in Glasgow as of yesterday with mrs. miki to get together with my brother, fellow CQNer ‘larrybhoy’ ( he lurks more than posts these days ) and other assorted Tims, but serious health problems put paid to that. Hopefully it’ll all get sorted in the fullness of time and I’l be back to getting to Celtic Park as often as I can. I love the place.
I live in Bournemouth, for my sins; sevcovians in this part of the planet are few and far between, and they get dog’s abuse when spotted. There are a lot of Tims down here, but a really good CSC fell apart a few years ago. Premises got sold to an estate agent, and the price Sky was asking for viewing rights became prohibitive to the committee running it.
Anyway…….I remain upbeat and well impressed by how we are doing in Europe this season.
Exciting times.
HH!
Have a great and successful night.
I’ll be in full regalia on the couch, raving like a mad yin. Normal stae of affairs on matchday for me, but tonight is gonnae take the biscuit. The mrs. says she’ll cool my fevered brow.
I’m worried that means she’ll be throwing a bucket of water over me.
Was that a 10 Kilotone Nuke bomb test going of on the other side of the world or just a bit of Neil Lennon’s THUNDER???
MWD can’t sleep won’t sleep
Can’t sleep.60+ years watching football and this game won’t allow me to get some sleep,you’d think I’d get out of this excitement,but no,it still grabs me yet.
Oldtim67
Sleepless nights are awful. Good luck to you all today.

Zbyszek.
Are you having sleep problems also.I can’t believe a game of football is keeping me up all night.Once I have a couple of drinks at this gathering we are having pre match,I’ll fall asleep during the game.
Oldtim67
Not only can’t you sleep…………….That was post number 666 :)

Prodigal Tim @ 3.27

Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me, Celtic, Celtic on to victory, They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree, We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the scottish football league.
There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmel who proudly wear the green, There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes, And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.

Even the heavy overnight snow in Slovakia cannot dampen the excitement for tonight especially since many of you kindly suggested ways to see the game, for which I’m extremely grateful. Thanks again as it seems the filmon option will work – fingers crossed!
Safe trip to all those traveling today.
