Edinburgh again, Ticket Office Blues

635

While Celtic are in the middle of a month with six home games, we face Hearts on Sunday on their eighth consecutive home game and tenth game on the trot in Edinburgh. Runs of games like this do you no favours in the long run, but they provide pockets or benefit.

Training schedules for Hearts have been perfect during this period, without needing to factor in a trip to Dingwall, for example. Game plans will have been consistent and clear. There will be modifications for the visit of the champions, but we will face a team who are as ready as they could be for the challenge.

This letter from the Ticket Office:

Like many of you, I have several season tickets in my wallet right now. They are not always used by the named person (Martin42 has been unable to use his ticket since August (!) due to injury).

I have not been in touch with the club, so can only wonder what “the Celtic Ticket Office is not obliged to provide information about the named Season Ticket Holder to any third party” could be about. It is an obscure reference, as is “in all cases relating to Season Tickets photo ID is required”.

Letters like this are never produced purely to irritate, there will be an issue to be addressed. It will not be a mean-spirited attempt to stop you taking a friend to the occasional game – which we all do.

But if the issue is serious enough to write to all season ticket holders: explain, explain, explain.  It’s not just the perma-rage-against-the-man-types (you don’t know who you are, so don’t bother wondering) who are troubled by this, some will be reluctant in future to invite a friend along to Celtic Park on a spare ticket.

Lessons learned, I’m sure.

    BSR @4:56 … LOL!

     

     

    I think the City Spurs game should be fun to watch. I know I have said this a few times this season, and almost of those games have disappointed, but I’ve got to be right once in a while …

     

     

    :)

  7. They must be really regretting not tapping up Tommy Wrigh during the week!

     

    How ‘stick out like a sore thumb’ do the dodgy games against the Sheep look now.

  8. Sportscene – you know the meagre crumb the BBC allow Scottish fans – just spent a chunk of the show ‘analysing’ games in England – cringeworthy toadying of the lowest order

  9. The huns got to Killie next. Could be interesting.

     

     

    Or even mair funny, is what I really mean!

  10. As posted earlier they where wishing for draw Don v Hibs a win for them and us to be beaten tomorrow. Two wishes fecked and Iam sure the third will be the same tomorrow. Murty must stay.

    The huns of tomorrow will look back in awe at the “Four In A Row” Legends. Right up there with the Heroes of Petrofac and Brechin Hedge.
