The first thing you do when you raise an asset dispute is issue a Cease and Desist notice. Inform the other party to stop using your asset, whether it is a piece of intellectual property, like a logo or badge, a piece of equipment or a physical property.
In conjunction with this you also ask for all monies collected in connection with your property to be forward to you. Football clubs, for example, regularly instruct people, who produce merchandise with unauthorised copies of their club crests, to stop doing so, destroy all unused stock and send them whatever money earned from earlier sales.
If and when a claim reaches court, the first request to the judge is likely to be to freeze use of all assets and cough up cash from sales. Keep your eyes peeled…
CQN Nine-in-a-row Charity Golf Day 2013
Our Annual Charity Golf Day 2013 will take place on Friday 14th June at Aberdour Golf Club. This is our 9th annual event and I’m delighted to announce that Lisbon Lion and nine-in-a-row striker, Willie Wallace, will be our guest of honour.
After winning everything available to him in Europe, Willie made a new life for himself in Australia, where he established a second career in the game, while retaining strong links to the Celtic ex-pat community.
We will be raising funds for the 125-4-125 appeal, while encouraging all Celtic fans to get involved and stake their claim on what this club is all about. Cost for the day’s golf and the evening meal and entertainment is £80. Cost for non-golfers is £45.
The Annual Charity Golf Day is always oversubscribed so get your application for a place in early by emailing, cqnopen2013@gmx.com.
Look forward to seeing you there.

I think that Celtic could do a lot better in trying to get people back to Celtic park, a couple of guys I know had SB and went to the games for years , they gave up their season books under WGS, now nobody contacted them to ask them why, or try to get them to renew.
I think that if you had a small dedicated team working on just getting these fans back again, it could work to a certain extent .
They could be invited back down to Celtic park, maybe spoken to by a ex player, just encouraged to get back to Celtic park
I think that football clubs take the fans for granted and have a, if they don’t come what can we do attitude, everybody is a customer and sometimes you have to fight to keep them.
Well here’s another one. What’s the capital of Iowa?

This one’s for Jungle Jim – a man easily thrown by capitals – What’s the capital of Iowa?
Why would Anne McTaggart MSP feel the need to, “work with churches” to, “tackle sectarianism wherever it exists in our communities”
When will these eejits comprehend that the sectarianism to which they are referring isn’t taught in schools or churches, it’s taught in Orange halls and living rooms the length and breadth of the country.

In effect that is what happened this year for the Juventus game. There was no public sale but season ticket holders were allowed to buy extra tickets on a first come, first served basis.
I don’t think this is what they will do but I would expect some sort of a package, say £80 for 3 CL group games for ST holders, but charge non ST holders £100.
If I was in charge I would also introduce an annual membership of say £30 per year that non-season ticket holders could avail of and one benefit would be that tickets for all games (inc. CL games) go on sale to these members a couple of days earlier.

I can only assume the SPL board have invited Ogilvie and Regan to share their views in order to shut them up. They have had nothing to say and suddenly pop up as some sort of ambassadors for Scottish Football.
Only last week Regan told the Soccerex convention he wished the SFA had just concentrated on helping rangers last summer.

Craigavon McCorkindale!!!
You are having a laff!!!
Met a friend at Ticket Office today who was over in Germany at weekend,as a guest of some St Pauli fans.
He was blown away by their set up something he said we could learn from.
He did an interview on FAC for them, and his pictures were superb.
At full time stadium still nearly full as players went to 4 corners of ground to thank fans and improve links with players and fans.
Prices seemed excellent also but it looked a fantastic MATCHDAY EXPERIENCE.
Even the food from hospitality is passed to the Nazereth Sisters after game to help the less fortunate in the town.

TKF were the first people that I thought of when I’d heardb about it being scrapped.
I think that in recent years we have become more adept at marketing the club in the US and Asia but have largely ignored markets closer to home, in particular here in Scotland.
Keep up the great work that you’re doing.
!!Bada Bing!!
Yes, exactly, thats another example – bizarre! We could go on about agendas etc etc but sometimes it comes down to short sightedness, pure and simple.

Even if Celtic do not re-instate the £50 tickets for children (I hope they do however), they should at the very least enable the Kano Foundation to purchase a set number at this price, or better still give them 100 tickets for nothing.

There are always swells in the support. People will use the standard of football as an excuse but as my old man always says. If you want to go and support Celtic you go. No matter who the manager is, who is playing in the Hoops and what the price is.
Celtic have to try and reduce the cost. That is one aspect holding people back but there will always be people who have simply either falen out of love with the game or have other commitments. I have heard loads of people on my own bus state many reasons for not going back but it’s usually cash related or they can no longer be bothered.
They will be back at some point they always are but most of us go through a stage when we need a break from going.
15 of my mates used to have season tickets and gave them up at various points in the last 15 years. Mostly due to getting married and having kids and stuff. They are slowly starting to filter back with kids in tow or on their own. It’s a costly business this fitba lark and going every week can be a strain on relationships and cash flow.
If the club can entice people back through lower costs then that is a step in the right direction. I think making it easier to get tickets for away matches and big cup games is also a factor. I knew some people who can’t get a ticket for semi finals and/or finals but people without season tickets were getting them from other sources. It’s hard going all season and then not getting a ticket for a major final. That certainly affects people taking up season tickets. How do you satisfy 53,000 season ticket holders for a final at Hampden when sometimes we only get 25,000 tickets? I also know of a number of guys who didn’t get a ticket for Seville and have never been back. They went to all the home ties. That was a stress on the ticket office and I think led to some out sourcing. I was in getting tickets for our CSC the night of the Dundee match the week before the UEFA cup final and there were people going mental. The woman came round from the back and came to me at the wee bit where supporters clubs were instructed to go and said in a loud voice in front of a packed and irate ticket office ‘There ye go 26 tickets for Seville’. I stuck them down the front of my breeks and ran and didn’t stop running until I made the safety of my seat!
It’s a tough one for the club to keep everyone happy and with our support it’s even harder.

“I” ?
I hope the powers that be check out these pages,some great ideas and concerns re Season Tickets.
2 kids u-13 tickets for Sunday, in section 102. Free to a good home.
Mort
Tickets for nothing???? Are you mad man?!
Great idea and would be inkeeping with the founding ethos of the club but it’ll never happen.
Sad really.
Mort/ HT , thanks for those thoughts.
One thing we’ve resisted is receiving special treatment from Celtic – after all we’re just a group of fans .
If we get tickets for free , then they can be taken away when circumstances change . As paying supporters , we have the right to the same allocation next season as this season .
We’ll try to keep that going .

I don`t use Titter and , as well as being confused by capitals 0:-) , I also am confused about who is Tweeting whom. In your post:
North Shore Bhoy @uksupertramp 3h @jamesdoleman @Pmacgiollabhain Do tell Chris Graham. He seemed smugly confident to @alextomo on LNS day about Sevco’s financial future.
alex thomson @alextomo 23m @uksupertramp @jamesdoleman @Pmacgiollabhain perhaps Chris does not know what is coming
:))
Is Northshore Bhoy etc tweeting Phil and Alex Thomson is replying to North Shore Bhoy?

Hamiltontim @15:32 “Why would Anne McTaggart MSP feel the need to, “work with churches” to, “tackle sectarianism wherever it exists in our communities”
Political cowardice. Deferring to the notion that Celtic and Rangers fans’ are mirror images.
There are examples of churches working together to encourage youngsters to take part in sport. Political interference not welcome.
It also feeds into the myth that Irish Republicanism is part of Catholic education in Scotland. At the schools I attended no mention of such thing from the teaching staff was ever heard and the pupils knew it was ex-curricular and off bounds at school.

Did Kano foundation request donations through taking part in superbru this season?
If so ,sorry for missing it mate.
Sannabhoy.
This is a true story and I’m ashamed to actually tell.
I was at a game many many ago, could have been in 1967 as the people that was in the car the day I’m going to talk about went to Lisbon with us, might have been in the same car.also, we were heading back home but stopped off at he Real McKay a wee pub outside Glasgow heading for the Falkirk area, I’d be around 28 at the time and a seasoned drinker.
We had a good drink at Celtic park ,and headed back home, I suggested a stop of at the RealMcKay, which they were keen to do, .after a few pints it was home time.for some reason I headed them out, looked round and two off them were helping the driver to get too the car, I knew I couldn’t drive, and I didn’t thing any of the rest were fit to drive either.
We sat in the car for about five minutes and I came to a decision,I said to the driver who was about sleeping, could you change the gears for me and I’ll drive the car home.
He got into top gear and I drove that car home without changing the gears once,and we safely got home.
Mind you in 1967 you were lucky to pass a car, or, even see a car.no motorways in those days,Ashamed ,but proud I managed to get us home,could have been just before the Lisbon game,or just after.
I never drove the car anywhere on the Continent but at times I thought I would have maybe done a bit better than designated drivers for that trip.
One of the drivers,had food poisoning in London, He wanted to stop of for jellied eels, but decided on shimps instead, we were sitting in the car and you could hear the co driver eating these shrimps, after about five minutes I looked at what he was shoving in his mouth, it was these us-shelled shimps, heads, tails, the lot, eyes stare at you. I couldn’t believe it, within two hours he was vomitting up his guts.He never recovered for three days.
Got over to Calais and went down the wrong side of a dual carriageway (sp) for about a mile. I think secretly in my mind I would have loved to have took the wheel. True.

… a growing old population (like me) is less likely to brave the travel and weather conditions to attend the game….
That’s a really interesting point. In the main stand all I see around me are ‘mature’ types aged 40-60+. Where are the young?

Can’t argue with Christy:)

Dead and loving it
You have hit the nail on the head,the Marketing Dept., is a joke.
The lapse ST holders should be invited to an open night at Celtic Park,tea and biscuits laid on,to have a Q&A sesson to the reasons they are not renewing.In what other walk of life would a business just let their customer base just walk away.New ideas are needed to attract the supporters back,surely someone within the club is capable to do this.
LiviBhoy,
I have been here often enough about the Ticket Office. I actually got a ticket for Seville (although I have never been near my actual seat yet but that’s another story) but not from Celtic, although I qualified by the criteria they gave out. They changed the criteria at the last minute (I suppose because they discovered that too many were like me). No, my beef with the TO is that I know that there have been shenanigans going on and tickets over many years being allocated to folk who had no claim on those tickets (usually family members or friends). I know this because I have been told it by 2 people who have worked there at different times to one another.

What’s all this talk of £50 season tickets being abolished. That’s what I paid for my youngest’s season ticket this year.

Alex T is responding to a tweet request to Phil Mac concerning AT from
North Shore Bhoy AKA @uksupertramp.
Eg my twitter Is ******** ***** @ Left*******.
So (North Shore Bhoy AKA @uksupertramp) are the same person
Pretty sure we could give away 1500 tickets as there are far more empty seats just now.
Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn says the club will stay at their current Brisbane Road ground should they be unsuccessful in their bid to groundshare at the Olympic Stadium.
Hearn is also giving away 1,500 free season tickets to youngsters and students in a bid to create a new generation of Orient supporters.
He said: “I’m proud to announce this initiative that I hope will be the dawning of a new era for this football club.”

Or YES :)))

Till later all
Excluding Celtic and Dundee competition has been fierce amongst the rest of the SPL, yet attendences are down (I see Aberdeen are talking about closing part of their stadium next year), so it would be difficult for Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundee Utd et. al to cite lack of competition as a reason.
A colleague with leanings to the dark side asked me at the beginning of the season whether Celtic fans would continue to turn out in numbers given his team weren’t there to offer meaningful competition. My response was that Celtic fans would turn up in numbers if the product on the pitch was exciting to watch. I pointed out that crowds at Celtic Park started to dwindle even as Gordon Strachen’s team were on the verge of 3 in a row because the standard of football was, how shall we put it, less than sparkling.
Whilst Celtic have played some teriffic stuff on the European stage, it is my humble opinion that much of our domestic form has been below par, verging almost on lazy and indifferent.
As I wrote a while back, if the team can’t be bothered turning up, why should the fans?
