Newco spend a penny then PR turns on Celtic fans

993

You may have read a story released by Newco’s PR agent to their go-to Glove Puppet in the media about a dispute over payment for damages to Celtic Park when Newco fans made their first visit to the stadium.

I heard before the Hogmanay game that Newco would be paying the damages their fans did on that occasion, and that Celtic would pay for any damage caused by our fans Ibrox that week. What I didn’t know at the time was that Celtic unilaterally decided this would be the case.

Concerned there may be reprisals following the vandalism to Celtic Park, the club informed Newco they would let it be known that we would pay for any damage to Ibrox by visiting fans – as long as we could inspect the damage we would be charged for.

The Hogmanay match passed without incident; tea light candles were left in visiting toilets to diffuse washroom odours, Celtic were not taken up on their offer to inspect and pay for damage, none was reported to match observers, police or Celtic.

Celtic had earlier issued Newco with a request for payment for the vandalism their fans inflicted on our stadium. Payment was not received, so this week we withheld the same amount from ticket money due to Newco.

The issue is finished; no one is withholding money from Celtic. There is no story.

We’ve not had to deal with nonsense like this for four years and we’d gladly never deal with it again. The issue was placed in the media today by PR, alluding to damages Celtic offered to pay for, but which didn’t happen. Be clear on this – Celtic offered to pay for any damages but no damage was reported.  The PR stunt is a deliberate attempt to damage the good reputation of Celtic fans.  Is it any wonder print media sales are dropping off at such an alarming rate for some?

Let’s remember, this is the same PR used by SPFL sponsor, Ladbrokes, an unacceptable action by a representative of the league’s sponsor.  It’s as though some are too angry to stomach the great news that Celtic have secured the £2.8m signing of Ivorian Kouassi Eboue without lashing out.

The club are delighted to have secured Kouassi. Despite his age, he’s first team ready, and has the character and ability to go a long way in the game. Between now and our cup finals in August, he’ll settle into Scotland and into a championship winning team.

    “Even if someone gets a phoenix off the ground at Ibrox, keeping it alive will be difficult. The cost of running football games there every second week is considerable. Doing so, while repaying Ticketus, and competing against lower league (or SPL) opposition, will cut any football budget to levels not known in 30 years.”

    No peace without Justice.

     

     

    Justice:

     

    Murray Mints and Bank of Scotland incahoots jailed!

    21 trophies rescinded.

     

    Celtic PLC traitorship assessed.

     

     

    I doubt very much Craig whyte will be found guilty of Fraud. Only the lesser companies charge. Anything else may lead to justice. Not happening.

    Some result for Everton earlier beating Manchester City 4-0 depite having less than 30% possession. And with Liverpool having just taken the lead, the City of Liverpool are now beating the City of Manchester 5-0.

    Or we might get blanket coverage of it being the 10th anniversary of a week after Walter returned……..

  10. So Easy Jet are reporting a group of Sevconians were groping the air stewardesses and no doubt they will rampage the unfortunate city of Leipzig later following the 4-0 pumping.

     

     

    Could they create another world record…. Banned from Euro competition before playing their 1st competitive game ?

    Well that was a worthwhile trip to see their team in Europe then wasn’t it?

     

     

    Never saw the game, just the goals and they are funny.

     

     

    Any half decent team can score against that defence.

     

     

    Any thoughts of getting those Europa league millions must be severely damaged on that showing.

  16. So Scotlands shame who now attach themselves to the SEVCO tribute act are once again endearing themselves to our European cousins.

     

    They really are a rancid group of shit for brains zombies.

     

    Slaughter the German people for 48 hrs whilst enhancing the German economy by nearly 2 and a half million !! What have the got to show for it eh ? A few sore faces and heads with a 4-0 pumping in the snow great weekend ORCS !!

     

    Ps yer NEWCO is scratch they’re arse for money and you don’t have the foresight to invest your Euros in the very Peepil that need it !!

     

    They deserve all you get !! Muppets the lot of them !

     

    Great Sunday to be a Toffeetim !!!!
