Premiership vote would be convenient resolution

136

Reports suggest the Scottish Premiership could provide Newco with a face-saving de-escalation by holding a vote to mandate a fixed percentage of ticket sales for visiting fans. Celtic were permitted 7,000 fans at Ibrox (in what was known as “the Celtic end”) for decades before the drubbings and celebrations became too much for the home fans. Since then, a tit-for-tat process saw Celtic-Newco games reduced to 700 then zero visiting fans.

I’m really looking forward to a sea of green and white when we face Newco on 30 December, but the lack of an appropriately sized visiting allocation skews the competitive edge unnecessarily – Celtic were reduced to a one goal winning margin at Ibrox last month, well below expected standards.

Newco’s predicament is more onerous, as they needed to relocate their ultras group when Celtic arrived with 7,000 fans, adding irritation to an already irritated population. A vote by the Premiership would be a convenient resolution for all.

  6. The multimonikers are lost to Celtic,thank god

     

    They loath anything to do with Celtic celebrating their Irish heritage,its rich dissent,its debate

     

     

    The origins of the club do not matter- chase yourself,it is those very origins since we left the hall at St Marys that bind Celtic for its betterment that allow every fan to have a view in the same way it allows every fan to contribute to the club in every way.

     

     

    For your help

     

     

    -Celtic were incorporated in 1897

     

     

    -no such thing as ‘capitalist cash’ there is however cash generated by fans,merchandise and sponsorship that means that Celtic have been self financing since 2005/6 which was the last time Celtic went near a bank

     

     

    – All debt has been repaid as of this year and we have a bank balance that is a result of good and prudent business practice.long may the malignment and dissent continue,it is one of Celtics rich synergy of drivers.

     

     

    -How dare you question our clubs statement,which augments and forwards our open to all ethos,nearly as valid as your attempted slur on Seville,a slur equally on the Porto fans who i spent days at the heart of.Absolute made up pish.and errorsome

     

     

    -nearly as valid as your political rant showing your own despising of fellow Celtic fans,lets make stuff up and put it out as fact.The board have no dilemma,they have issued their statement,not enough to appease war linguists like yourself,

     

    ‘Islamist lovers’ rancid thinking there Suella from someone questioning Celtics open to all ethos,to even put that in a sentence on a Celtic blog, when critiquing Celtics board for strengthening that ethos show how errorsome your view is.

     

     

    Your politics are unimportant,of course they are!!thats why you can write utter cobblers as it is your own view,to suggest our founders politics are unimportant shows an ignorance of Celtic,an ignorance of Celtic as hope to those who need it and and ignorance of Celtics irish roots,all blinded by your own political rantings and ideology…except for them,them and them there who i disagree with.Celtic first patron Michael Davitt would be classed as a terrorist in todays world,25 years ago,pre liquidation Ubend fc fans,in their hubris were labelling all Celtic fans terrorists for celebrating our origins,your attempts at exclusion and isolating Celtic fail just like they did,tho as with most recent monikers shiteswiping and attempting to slur Celtic,

     

     

    It does matter our open to all ethos stands,Jew,Muslim,Christian,any follower of Celtic is welcome

     

    It has been so since 1887 if you know our history and dont interpret it in the same way as those you seek to eliminate.

     

     

    Blessed are the peacemakers

     

    They are needed more than ever now.

    No surprise there, two cheeks of the same a@@@.

  8. EKBHOY- I’ve always thought if an MP defects to another party,they should call an immediate by- election ,that’s not what folk voted for….

  9. EK must have something in the watter. Famous for its boundarouts and right winger of Irish Catholic decent. The undoubtedly clever but totally misguided Liam Fox.

    that guy must be in the Green Brigade/be anti-semitic/an islamist/drunk celtic fan from seville/wee boy/doesnt know the real world/cant get involved in grown up conversations/woke/have infantile politics/hard left/not open to all/………..

     

     

    and he must support hamas (thats very evident from the fact he never mentioned them)

    Good response. We are welcome to all religions and none.

     

     

    When Celtic were founded , I believe charity not politics was the main thrust of Brother Walfrid’s aspiration. A theme he followed to East London.

     

     

    I think you are probably right about Michael Davitt’s classification.

     

    However times were different in 1887 and cannot be equated to today’s world.

     

     

    How would support for the Boers ” Fight for freedom” and endorsement of the racist Boer Narrative be classified today ?

     

     

    HH.

  12. EKBHOY- just read she was facing a selection battle today to stay in place for next election……..so obviously moved for honour….

  13. One thing I think we can all agree on.

     

     

    The good folk who frequent the lower JS stand need not worry about it being a standing section in the foreseeable future.

    True. But I think that’s a pity too. Bit of vision from the club who should be obsessing about the fan experience from every angle – amenities to safe standing to safety , etc etc.

     

     

    Not sure the ‘we have outgrown Scotland and can’t do anything until an invite from elsewhere, whilst the stadium gets more outdated/run down by the year, is a good look.

  15. Liam Fox was a couple years below me at school , seem to recall he joined the School Tory club as he wanted to be the big fish in a very small bowl/ puddle , we didn’t even know there was a Tory club ….

     

     

    A total disgrace to the town
