Easier to get into White House than US sports market

267

Celtic’s preparations got into gear over the weekend with the first part of a money-spinning three game tour of the USA.  They join Manchester City, Chelsea, Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid in games there over the next two weeks.  After facing DC United on Saturday, Celtic play City and Chelsea before heading home.

This kind of exposure is worth the trip for the wealthiest and best promoted clubs in the world; it is a measure of Celtic’s appeal that we are involved in such rarified atmosphere.  Turning devotion from the ex-pat community in North America into a wider commercial income is a tough challenge.  Champions League exposure will be our only conduit to this market after the players board the plane this weekend.

We will bank some money and get match practice, but the route to relevance in the US sports market is more difficult than getting an invite to the White House.

Great news from the Champions League draw – we’re not involved in it!

  7. Of course Champions league football is a major attraction for signing players, alibet for a short duration.

     

    We scout them, we tell them they will be playing against some of the biggest names in football on legendary European nights, then if they perform we will help find an EPL club for them.

     

     

    We are not optimising this soooooo obvious selling point

     

     

    Maybe we should hire an old style Barras salesman for our negotiations. We are sitting on a straight flush and acting as if we only had a pair.
