Celtic this afternoon released their interim accounts for the six-month period to 31 December 2016, the figures are as rewarding as expected.
Income was up an incredible 94% on the corresponding period in 2015 to £61.2m (2015: £31.4m). Profit from operations reached £21.4m (2015: £1.6m), although profit on player transfers fell to £2.0, (2015: £12.6m).
Investment in player registrations for the period was £9.5m, not that much higher than 2015’s £6.1m.
To put some perspective on these figures, income for the whole of last season was £52.0m, £9m less than we earned in the first six months of this season. Results against Lincoln Red Imps, Astana and Hapoel Be’er Shiva in the summer have had a huge impact on the club.
The lack of Champions League football during the second half of the campaign will see income drop off, but these figures provide the first solid evidence that income will to £80m this season for the first time, comfortably £50m more than any other Scottish club will earn.
The figures also reflect a significant uplift in sponsorship deals, which kicked-in this season – well done to all concerned. The post-Brexit vote battering of the pound didn’t do any harm either for a club earning so many euros…….

If only people cared or wondered why.

VFR800 IS NOW A MONSTER 821 on 7TH FEBRUARY 2017 8:36 AM
There has been disquiet on the blog over the last few days about policing in Perth and the student ticket pricing for Sevco’s visit in March.
I’m seeing JPT on another issue on Friday morning but I am more than happy to take any questions to him on these (or indeed any other) issues.
============================================================
Good man yersel .
GREENPINATA:
I thought there was talk if a railway station to service Parkhead was a goer???
NATKNOW:
I appreciate it would not be a sell out every game hence the 7/8 million mark up but when Parkhead did hold 80,000 we very rarely saw it bursting at the seams. And I was at the Dundee game and I was at the Vojvadina game and I was at Hampden against Leeds United. Nobody would expect the stadium to be a fortnightly sell out but my point was the sums, just the sums…
Could an expansion be made to profit?
BIG PEAT:
The reason Neil Lennon left us was because Celtic would not pay Johan Mjällby a decent wage. Johan Mjällby walked (as have a few Celtic greats over the years because of not being paid their perceived worth) Ronny was being forced onto Neil as Johan Mjällby’s replacement, Neil wasn’t wearing it, and he walked. And Ronny by default of an abomination got the gig.
YES
PETEC :
PAID PLANT, so simple, so obvious, so pathetic, but they’ll do it again and again and some will be taken in.
The ` Open reply to Neil cameron at The Herald by Cartuja is worth a read.

Yir maw.
What was that supposed to mean you prick… my mother has been dead for years. What you just wrote is the most obscene thing I have ever read on here. You are a disgrace. YOU ARE A PRICK.
GET HIM OFF HERE PAUL.
kitalba,
It has been going on for so many years in this Internet age, I’m not so sure before then, speaking specifically about Radio Clyde.
Celtic share price up 9p to 81p.
BIG PEAT OF ISLAY✝:
If you are such a fucking big man get my phone number off PAUL67, I’ll drive down to anywhere in Brisbane you live,first thing tomorrow morning and you speak your vile to my face You PRICK.
Announce our best figures ever,and still on they come with the snide remarks and put downs.What a sad,pathetic ,miserable life these people must lead.Nothing this team does can seem to give them joy.All i can say is I hope their misery continues unabated,because that will mean we go from strength to strength.
The Hun sites might have some ludicrous comments on them,but not much worse than some on here.
Oh dear, the ref is reaching for his pocket…
Henke
not quite Moravcik67 but still awesome.
What are you shittin yourself BIG PEAT, if I were you I would be you disgusting excuse for a human being.
If you live in Brisbane one day I’m going to come face to face with you. THAT IS A PROMISE.
Cringeworthy stuff from Jim White on Talksport. Barton his guest and White like a dog with a bone on his time at Sevco.
[Sevco] are 27 points behind Celtic, could you have helped?
Do you regret blah blah?
Did you verbally hammer Halliday and Mark Warburton?
Would you speak to Dyche the same way?
JB.. ‘I can look myself in the mirror’
:I know Celtic are 27 ahead, but I’m at Burnley’
Oh the pain.

KITALBA
Don’t,mate. I was surprised you missed it originally. Just ignore him.
Hard,aye. But best way.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS:
I was feeding my kids and then saw it. I was actually being friendly only for that despicable creature to write that. I’m going to meet him one day. I don’t have much to look forward to, but I do look forward to meeting him.
Ronaldhino was such a good player.
Heck, he was an Incredible player.
The Footballing Wizard knew how Good Henryk was alright.

Take a chill pill son.
How could you possibly be upset? Unless of course we are at cross purposes.

MACJAY

tsk, tsk,tsk, all is good at Celtic Park, and people on CQN squaring up to each other for a keyboard Square go, lol, you couldent make it up honestly hahahaha
KITALBA
Aye,been there a few times,and certain subjects are off-limits in arguments and are dealt with accordingly.
Family members being the main one.
I don’t blame you for being angry,far from it. Just be sure he’s worth the hassle.
In my experience,it usually is. It’s about looking in a mirror. Never pretty,but I sure as hell want to be proud of who’s looking back. Though I could have learned that earlier…

————————————————————————-
Yeah – the sums was the bit I managed not to express too well.. :-)
Increasing the stadium size would increase the ongoing costs – so the numbers would need to be looked at carefully as this would be a key risk. Was my point I guess. So not really disagreeing that a bigger stadium/crowd would be amazing – just wondering if it makes financial sense. I’m sure Celtic PLC will have run the numbers?
Kitalba
Are you an irate loose cannon? You seriously need to calm down son. If this is the way you respond to banter on the net, you should take a break from it.
Good night, I don’t and won’t engage with foul mouthed aggressive hooligans.
Over and OUT.
Petec – what a player! One of the greatest moments ever in football that was.
TONY DONNELLY
And your reaction to a similar comment would have been different?
Doubt it.
Anyway,good to see you back on,we were getting worried about you!
Ach chit, the fights aff….
Good night, I don’t and won’t engage with foul mouthed aggressive hooligans.

============================================
Because I don`t know and found the response very strange myself .
I was asked by a feminist today, “How do you view lesbian relationships?”, apparently in HD wasn’t the correct answer.
