We got sight of a couple of interesting stats in the last 24 hours. Sevco released their proposed season ticket prices for this season – £258 for adults. The Herald today told us they have sold 450 tickets, which would generate £116k.
For every 10,000 full price adult tickets Sevco sell they can expect an income of £2.58m. 40,000 sales would bring in just over £10m.
The cost Rangers faced to run a football club at Ibrox, before employing any staff whatsoever, has varied in recent seasons, but not dipped below £16m. On top of this Rangers employed around 200 non-playing staff plus dozens of players.
You see the size of the funding challenge Sevco face, made all the more difficult by what appears to be an almost weekly appearance of a distraction in the form of other parties wanting them to relinquish control. It’s almost as though the universe is conspiring to starve them of income. Their issues with the SFA will grab current headlines, but if these are resolved far greater challenges lie ahead.
Fans of all Scottish clubs are invited to contribute their thoughts on a variety of subjects, including policing, stewarding, the media, offensive chanting, and are asked for ideas to improve the supporter experience.
I have spoken to the researcher tasked with getting a perspective on this and he is keen to hear from as many Celtic fans as possible. It will take you around three minutes to complete the online survey, which you can do from here.

Unless I misread the Herald, the £5.6million is going to serve two purposes, one to purchase 49% of Sevco shares, and also to serve as working capital for the company. Just as the MSM believed that when David Murray sold some of the shares he owned that somehow that money went into Rangers FC. I have news for Richard Wilson, it didn’t, and it won’t.
Hello all,
Is the game tonight being shown on any European or domestic channel anyone know?
Cheers

Pigalle and embramike –
thanks for your earlier advice on my proposed new laptop.

sorry that part was so obvious that I didn’t even bother to comment on it.
So, I will pay you £x for your shares, and then you will allow me to spend the money I just gave you ( by giving it back to me ) so that I can spend it again on what I just bought from you!!
sheer business genius– or just truly awful journalism!
New ole Jobo laptop finger out brings new weather.

In my younger days I frequented “The Wee Dram” bus which left from Cadzow Bridge….
Now older, slower and less able to handle the bevvy I drive in. Plus wae 3 kids with me it makes it a bit easier.
If you are struggling for a lift let me know, you are in Woodhead so I can nip round no probs.
So that was right enough about the much-vaunted transfer from Paisley to Glasgow.
Good luck to PT.
There’s two kinds of money in the world- money that has a proven value and can be exchanged for goods or services, eg new laptop, haircut, pate de foie gras, Allman Bros box set.
And then there’s money that is involved in wheelin’ and dealin’ with the late unlamented Rang##s FC de Glasgow.
That money is a completely different bucket of iron pyrites.
That kind of money is your genuine Confederate dollar, excep’ not as valuable.

Is brownnosing a dead body no against the law Mr Wilson?? Careful Now…

Very kind but I’m fine.
I go on a bus from Glasgow for away games but usually just take the car for Parkhead.
My neighbour and his son have just acquired season tickets and after, what seems like a lifetime absence, my mate in Halfway is making a return so I’ll have company for a change on the drive in!
Sevco have sold 450 season tickets?
Is that their Green Brigade?
Why are the SFA trying to sponsor a walking financial swamp filled with Zombies and ne’r do wells not to mention snapping alligators…
Just completed the survey..wish Id studied more.anyone else find Q3 really hard?

Mark Hately says selling out their away tickets against Brechin will facilitate a new signing.

Not up on my water-dwelling birds but I know how to hypnotize a chicken using just a piece of chalk.
Mark Hately says the opinions of everyone associated with Sevco is like new whining.

No problem at all, would have been happy to pick you up. The offer stands for anytime I travel into Paradise.
Enjoy your night and the company……On the journey in I’ll be discussing the finer points of Hi-Top trainers, the new Ben 10 series etc with my bhoys and of course telling them stories about the god known as HENRIK!!
Mark Hateley saiys the same thing as well…

Being a poultry farmer, I assure you there are enormous differences between ducks and geese. :))

Thought so, you come across as a real nice guy a real pheasant plucker!
Paul, given that Celtic is now the only proper football team in Glasgow, will we, for European competitions at least, now be referred to simply as “Glasgow”?

Probably a bit of both. Further evidence to support the point you referred to yesterday, that absent the direct support from the Bank of Scotland, Sevco in any form will struggle for the foreseeable future, if they last that long that is.

Probably not too dissimilar to our travel conversation!!
Thank you for the kind offer I may take you up on it occasionally if I’m heading out after the game.
Likewise if ever you or the boys are stuck I’d be happy to help out.
