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.

  1. G64- correct, maybe if they weren’t Engerland players, Kane and Alli would have walked, shocking tackles

    Just reading comments on Man city V Spurs comments on BBC .

     

    Many Man utd fans pissed off about City being a financially doped club.

     

    Failing to see the irony that the entire epl is due to television.

     

    Often see fans here arguing about entitlement but the English take the cake.

     

    No wonder the huns love Queen and England.

     

    The Ibrox club is like the British Empire and is a poor imitation of what it once was.

    One team league

    Spot on

     

     

    When the BoS sponseored Huns were at their cheating best, Lubos double in the 5–1 was amazing, if you could bottle the amazement on his face watching us eijits celebrate, priceless

  4. Just watched the Kieron Tierney interview for football focus

     

    How disrespectful of Kieron is that English panel

     

    Including you Lawrenson

  5. Pleased for GMS who showed today what he is capable of. And was hugely impressed by Ryan Christie who looks ready to make his return to CP.

  6. G64 10.53pm

     

     

    Like you am delighted for GMS but many better haven’t made it wearing the hoops, I wish the Bhoy well but it takes a certain player to make it at the champions …. Broony has less ability than GMS but ability is only half the skill you need :-)

    Why ?

     

    Edouard, done well on Wednesday night

     

    Dembele also fit and ready for action

     

    So we have 3 very capable centre forwards

  8. Goodnight Bobby!

     

     

    Love ye!

     

     

    (So does the wee yin which is a bit more worrying!)

     

     

    And she is always asking if you’ve been on the Blog!

     

     

    :-)

  9. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    I think somebody else commented on this recently, so apologies, but it is so stark it needs to be repeated. After the highlights of the Citeh v Tottingham game, GL says “right, where do we begin with this great team?”, and then go on about how well Citeh played and what a good team they are.

     

     

    After one of our skelpings, it’s “Right, just how pash is our league. Let’s look at how *insert thuggish diddy team here* might have taken a point, if this play had developed entirely differently from the way it actually did develop, and don’t Celtic have loads of money”

    Totally agree, I love wee Leigh and was just trying to get Philbhoy back on the fitba talk :-)

     

     

    He would do the same too me :-)

     

     

    But who would you prefer Édouard, Moussa or Leigh ?

     

     

    For me wee Leigh is our most potent forward (might not be the best player) but I prefer my strikers to be potent :-)

  11. The greatest ever Christmas song Fairytale of New York is now 30 years old. The bhoys of the NYPD choir are still singing Galway Bay. Hh

    Good night!

     

     

    And I hope you have a miserable xmas chasing after inappropriate posts.

     

     

    You deserve it!

     

     

    Me?

     

     

    I’ve got a life.

  13. Philbhoy

     

     

    Incorrect target

     

     

    If us Cqners just stick to the rules the Mods have an easier blog life :-)

  14. I think the MODERATORS want rid of me because they, well don’t like me.

     

     

    Well, I don’t like them.

     

     

    Considering my position.

  15. GFTB

     

     

    I have just had a perfectly reasonable post, in support of my friends on here who are having a tough time,

     

    deleted.

     

     

    What the ********** is that all about?

  16. G64 11.17pm

     

     

    It is iconical (Vfr800 hope that’s a word) a great song and very Christmassy (Vfr800 I know that’s not a word)

  17. Philbhoy 11.23pm

     

     

    Posts are deleted for many reasons some better than others but stuff it, you wrote what you thought it’s now gone, again sometimes I wish the posts deleted stayed so everybody knows what the poster posts, I know for a fact if I overstep the line, which I have I don’t need a Mod to tell me, reading back is my penance :-)

     

     

    Get over yourself ya big eijit :-)

  18. BADA BING

     

    The English refs tend to be more tolerant of English internationals than those pesky cheating foreigners.

     

    Rooney and Terry often benefitted from lenient refs.

  19. Philbhoy, relax son, you are a great bhoy and an important part of CQN, I know the post you are talking about and I think the Mod got that one wrong but it’s not personal don’t let it bother you.

    Looking forward to a few more European nights in The New Year?

  21. BMCUWP at 10:30,

     

     

    Thanks M for that re-post…..first I’d seen and read it….that BRTH really has a way with words that evoke….nae wunner he’s being paid to tell stories in court ;-))

     

     

    H.H.

  22. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    GFTB

     

     

    Sage advice there Gerry bhoy. Your poacher turned gamekeeper status adds weight to your pronouncements

     

     

    :)

  23. I;m just back from a few pints of Guinness and a few Jemmy’s, for the non Dubs they are Jameson whiskeys.

     

    Anyway not thinking too straight so I’m going to bed.

     

    Yes I hope the brilliant Griff starts tomorrow & that the famous Glasgow Celtic collect the 3 points.

     

    Apart from that it’s Good Night & God Bless from me.

  24. Imatim…..sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss

     

     

    MIT….be in no doubt….Derry is chasing wabbits, the size of mountains, to her hearts content ;-))

     

     

    H.H.

  25. Hunderbirds 11.39pm

     

     

    I appreciate your facetious tone :-)

     

     

    Life is far too precious and even shorter to type and keep typing arguments

     

     

    Cqn is for all Celtic fans, again my two girls are in their kip since 9pm, it’s Cqn or rubbish telly (match of the day)

     

     

    Hope all is good Hunderbirds

  26. BMCUW, I’m fine pal, if Hot Smoked is about I’m looking for the name of the whiskey we drank in a pub near the Barrowlands the night of Anderlecht game.

     

    Deffo off to the leaba now.
