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.

    So sorry to read about Derry

     

    I’ve dropped you an email Bhud.

    The 7000 young fan passed through Parkheads gates, in honour of Martin Kane on Wednesday night, the Bhoy has left a wonderful legacy, his family will be very proud of

     

     

    Hail Hail

  5. Yorkbhoy, the truth is most kids will not sit down and watch a full games unless they are actually at the football and few can actually get to games outside their local areas.

     

     

    A super league sounds great for the mega rich clubs however over time the lack of change i.e. same teams playing same teams years on year kills interest as can be seen in champions league at moment.

     

     

    I would be happy to see the smaller european teams FORM breakaway pan european league with all clubs afforded opportunities to be promotion and relegated, not closed shops as it would be far more interesting with a filters into domestic leagues.

     

     

    The other thing is that the smaller european nations combine make up a great amount of the overall population of europe. include it in new open compitition that offers better product and all of a sudden you have a games changer.

     

     

    I would guess that will happen when the superrich teams decide to overall a close shops and the celtic and ajax of the world have no option but to react in a bold way.

     

     

    So the top table now may actually have a challange because it allow gread to split european football.

     

     

    At last i hope so cause the correct set up is a fucking joke

    Kano was the start of CQN fund raising and thanks to Kitalba and Ramie we along with the other sites and clubs managed to get Martin home

     

    I’m sitting here with a glass thinking about CQN of old and hoping we continue without forgetting our roots

     

     

    God bless

    7000 kids in Kano’s memory have been to Paradise. Amazing!

     

     

    Well done to The Kano Foundation and the Celtic fans who have supported this over the years.

    I was new on the blog and Martin’s name had been mentioned a few times.

     

     

    I asked for the story and loved this place ever since.

     

     

    God bless him and his family.

     

     

    Thanks for reminding us of CQN at its very best.

  14. PHILBHOY

     

     

    What they’ve done in Kano’s memory is magic.

     

     

    Someone should remind Celtic of that the next time someone wants to send out feckin stupid letters.

     

     

    God bless Martin’s legacy.
