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. Not all Efe’s fault there

     

     

    Very poor from the other Hibs defender not to alert his teammate to the threat of an onrushing GMS.

     

     

    cv

  2. FAVOURITE UNCLE on

    GARY mckay -stevens bites his lip SPEWS up the last of THE RIVER KELVIN and runs riot against BIG EFE.

     

     

    ps how did they lose2 times to the huns.

     

     

    pps how did HIBS come back from 2 down to draw last week.

  3. Bit latte with this one.

     

    Has the Board considered the possible Health, Safety and even Legal consequences of claiming that people who were elsewhere, were part of the crowd at Celtic Park?

  4. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Sevco’s dirty tricks with McInnes and the Aberdeen players in the run up to their double header worked .

     

     

    Anything dirty the sevs can do to upset an opponent in the lead up to a match, they and their media chums , will do it.

  5. Any CQNr know anything about te following probable scam>

     

    Yesterday, I received a recorded phone message informing me that HMRC was filing a lawsuit against me.

     

     

    Any ideas.

  6. QUONNO

     

     

    Its a scam!

     

     

    HMRC don’t do phone calls.

     

     

    Same thing happened to me.

     

     

    When I googled the phone number it was identified as a scam

     

     

    Ignore it!

    QUONNO on 16TH DECEMBER 2017 1:32 PM

     

     

    I had the same recorded message a few months ago. Ignore it.

     

     

    I doubt very much if Hmrc would operate in this way.

  8. QUONNO

     

     

    I watched a program on tv recently about this scam.

     

     

    The scammers got some old timers to settle the “outstanding tax bill” with…………………………….I Tune Vouchers!

  9. Mackay Steven scores a hatrick.

     

     

    He looks just like the Aussie batsman who scored 200 odd runs today.

     

     

    Never seen them both at the same time.

     

     

    Just saying

  10. Where was this Aberdeen when Sevco came to town?

     

     

    If they’d have beaten the orcs twice this result would have sent them top of the table.

     

     

    I find that quite funny.

     

     

    Thanks Sevco!

    Aberdeen’s performance today compared to the two Sevco games can’t be explained away as fluctuations in form. The dirty tricks department at Ibrox is probably the only successful part of their operation.

  12. The Huns on Fester Fester were wanting a draw at this game. Them to win at the Crumbledome and us to lose at Swinecastle. Looks like no chance for this game, infact Sheep making up on the goal difference.

  13. GENE

     

    Efe made a mistake against us in last game allowing forward behind him to shoot wide.

     

    He is a good guy but is prone to at least one mistake every game which why he will never be a top class defender.
