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.

    Yogihuges & Dbhoy.

     

    Nonsense.

     

    I’m a Celtic supporter who hates them because they hate me.

     

    Maybe time for you both to move from Newton Means back to the real Glasgow.

  2. ITSCALLEDTHEMALVINAS

     

     

    What’s the point in letting their hate dictate how you act/feel ?

     

     

    Why give them that power over you?

     

     

    Tell me one positive thing that can be got from hatred of a group of people?

     

     

    Think about it.

     

     

    Me, I don’t like the uber hun/orange types in their support but I refuse to let their pitiful outlook effect mine.

     

     

    BTW I did my apprenticeship in Larkhall, one of maybe four token Catholic’s employed in that workforce of around fifty, seen firsthand the darkest elements of their support .

  3. GFTB,

     

     

    Naw….been playing online poker….texas holden……won & lost thousands…..all for fun tho ;-))

    DBhoy…..tell me one positive thing that can be got from hatred of a group of people?

     

     

    let me see…..the oppression of Catholics in Eire…..now free…..the oppression of blacks in usa…..now free….was none of this done by the opposition of hate….be it armed or not

  5. 70 is a good number and in fact an important number.

     

    The sum of the first 24 squares starting from 1 is 70 squared. This relates 70 to the Leech lattice and thus string theory. I know I dont need to to you lot this, it was a more a benefit for jam tartz.

  6. Some are dying slowly, some are dying fast

     

    Some of us hold on to life as long as we can last

     

    Poison and invisible, it falls all round the world

     

    Fifteen hundred roentgens for every boy and girl

     

    We just read the papers, we just watch tv

     

    Passive as the cattle we await our destiny

    Greed, financial and territorial gain were significant motives of those doing the oppression you mentioned IMO.

     

     

    Neither was defined by hatred on it’s own.

     

     

    ‘ Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet ‘

    A prominent civil rights activist who fought the oppression of the blacks in America you mentioned.

    Good tune BTW

  8. Idea for future funds for distribution throught our network ;-))

     

     

    A Texas Holdem game/tournament…..carried over two days…..or the following weekend…..minimum cost to enter only £10…..1/2 to charity……

     

     

    Thoughts?

  9. Many African Americans who voted for Obama didnt show up for the Clinton Trump debacle because they were both honkies. Cut my nose off to spite my face racism is everywhere. As long as there is an anti wetback anti raghead and anti you know what candidate it will always be the elephant in the room that no one in America mentions. Lets have an intellectual debate with 2 brain cells.

  10. Dbhoy,

     

     

    Really….you’re lookin for hatred for hatreds sake…..there is no such thing…..it’s a taught thing…..all over the world…..unfortunately

     

     

    H.H.

  11. Mags….u don’t need to be there to imagine the magnitude of the bullshit that’s happened ;-)-

     

     

    H.H.

  12. TLT

     

    So what your saying in your original point to counter mine was the suffering and subjugation of the Irish and blacks in America was ultimately positive because they enjoy more freedom today in their respective countries?

  13. Dbhoy…..

     

     

    You wer so close……it’s a cigar away…..but you’re…rite…..no…..the fight goes on…..in a different arena…..political……;-))

    Blanur & Coatbrig are no that bad it’s the poker that should be avoided, get your winnings on the Griff Bhoy to score if he gets a start that is :-)

  15. TLT

     

    What about my assertion that greed, financial and territorial gain were significant motives of those doing the oppression you mentioned rather than just plain hatred of a group of people ?

  18. ITSCALLEDTHEMALVINAS Tells me much more about you than yon Hun. I read a lot of decent comments about the big hoose Hun from local Tims who knew and respected him. Don’t give into hate. hating them will just be like looking into a mirror. Hail Hail

    Thank u for why there’s a cause ;-))

    Sad comment about a football fan thats passed on, some people have a warped view of life,shame really I suppose it takes all kinds, most probably would be on here in an outrage if the shoe was on the other foot.

    ITISCALLEDTHEMALVINAS. So the big guy who gave us all a good laugh when he said the big hoose must stay open has died.Like most of us he loved his team and was showing his passion now I dont know wither he was a good person or not and it is not my place to judge if he was a good person or not Our Lord Jesus Christ will judge us all. I firmly do believe there is a hell even if it is only not being allowed to live in eternity without Jesus.We are on this World and there is only one certainty and that is we will all die and we have only one way of getting to Paradise and that is through Faith and following Our Lord Jesus Christ so I will take my chance and follow Jesus and I hope that in time you may find Faith God Bless. H.H.

  23. 50 shades of green on

    Wonder if Brendan could fit the 3 strikers into the team today ??after all we played 7 mids on Wednesday .

     

     

    Would really like us to hammer these Edinburgh bigots today.

     

     

    Griff Eddie n Moussa to score.

     

     

    P.S. Dont think they will all start mind you.

    If yer still lurkin even although you and that real tim couldn’t spell the word correctly I think that Philboy made it patently obvious at 1020hrs what he meant

  25. Mickbhoy @ 8:58

     

     

     

    Prove it….ambiguous…was Philbhoy ;-))

     

     

    That’s the fact…..deal with it ;-))
