Neil Lennon’s interview with the official site was the second resounding State of the Club address from Celtic within a week. The manager said:
”Clearly, in terms of where Rangers do play, that is now a matter for others to decide upon, it is something we have no control or influence over.
“We must now move on, and move on with a collective unity between the supporters and the club and the team.
“We need to stand strong, shoulder to shoulder and all work together to continue to move the club in the right direction.
“We want as many fans as possible to come back to the club and take their seat at Celtic Park and invest in the club as much as possible.
“We are now looking forward and not back, we have a vibrant young team, I want to progress this team as far as I can but we cannot do this without the fans’ support.
“There will be no slacking off or complacency, we have a lot to look forward to and that´s what we are preparing for, but I need to be very clear, we need our fans with us every step of the way.
“We cannot let outside negative influences dictate the mood at Celtic, we are very optimistic and we are very much looking forward to the season but we need our fans right with us”.
“It´s imperative we make inroads in Europe again this year and it would be nice to get through the qualifiers and into the Champions League group stages, but I´m under no illusion how difficult that´s going to be
“Everyone wants to play at the big table and that´s our whole focus. We go into this as champions and that is a fantastic feeling, so hopefully that will give the players an extra spring in their step.
“If we qualify then you never know where it will take us.”
I hear season ticket sales are up on the corresponding period last season but the message from Neil is clear, with the driver for high-value corporate ticket sales missing, Celtic are more dependent on ordinary supporters buying tickets than ever before.
This is your tax-and-supplier-paying-champions-today-and-next-season-Celtic. You wouldn’t rather it any other way so get along and enjoy it.

In my opinion the two are very different and there is nothing wrong with what Lennon said, in his position as football manager.
I think there is a distinction between a manager of a football club saying ‘we have no control or influence’ and a member of Celtics board saying that.

Billy Davies?
only problem is he likes to go three across the back
allegedly
Somewhere?
Anyone any idea what the club are doing about the season tickets with the Huns game missing , bought 2 for my Bhoys without those games as I didn’t want to subject them to those idiots . Will the Bhoys be able to see all games now ?????
Eyes Wide Open
The possibility remains though that Lenny has been used by the board in this matter given the special relationship he has with the support.

I think the £50 ticket has been dumped, so the cost is age-dependent and for all matches.

Wow wonder if they’ll be bouncing on the cobbles (=8
And played out by The Jam for Wiggins and Froome. Amazing achievement from both.

I bought the £50 ST for my 9 year old and £105 ST for my 15 year old but that was in May , was wondering if they had altered anything .

I dont think so.
Lennon clearly has very very little clout in the boardroom (evidenced by the number of comments made by board and manager re contract renewals and signing targets with Lennon not even in the room).
If they were going to use Lennon as their puppet it would be a much more astute or deep message than the opening 2 lines of a statement.
I think the statement is what it is on this occasion – a statement from the manager of our football club.
Oh! Oh!
We’ve gone all bi-polar crazy again I see.
Peaceful joy .. Raging Madness.
No 50 shades of green in between.
Calm down Bhoys.
Calm down! Before your brain cells never again shall meet.

The cobbles are the least of their worries – what about the potholes, trams, taxis, busses? Not only that but the Hearts fans will attack them for using the Greenways Lane?!!
Paul McConville has posted the Clyde statement here (for those who haven’t read it and cannot get on the Clyde site)
Hope you don’t mind me stealing your thunder Paul ;-)

I guess that makes you one of the lucky ones, unless they contact you for more… !

‘The manager said:’
I doubt that NL said any of that that at all, I think it’s Cetic being dsingenuous

Excellent mind reading skills there.
Are you Paul McKenna in disguise? Sinistair McCoist wants to know and know now. ;-)))

EWO,
I took the statement as him speaking for the whole club.
He has not made the distinction.
Butas I’ve said mant times, I will not criticise the maager for toeing the party line, he is in his dream job and will not want to jepordise that.

I was told that since the SPL vote the decision was taken not to sell £50 tickets. Seats were being reserved and prices confirmed later. Yesterday I was on about tickets for Inter Milan and asked if they had come to a decision. That’s where I found out…

the £50 season ticket is still available for kids
It def has not been dumped
EK Green & White resident on 10 July, 2012 at 20:18 said:
I am not saying that there WILL be an increase for tickets already sold, I was only joking about that, but new sales will be full kids tickets, according to the Ticket Office.
