The Celtic Way looks great,but behind the Lisbon lions Stand is still a mess.

It's very dark.Coming out last night ,someone had taken a bad fall.I don't know why , but I assumed by tripping over the kerb that is impossible to see when in a crowd at night.

Also,some nutter insisted in driving down Springfield Rd ,expecting everyone to get out his way.That road should be closed for at least 15 mins after game.
Agreed. Cops just stand their watching cars trying to drive through hordes of punters.
Happens all the time. I've seen it get pretty hairy on a few occasions. Police are beyond useless.
Perhaps encourage such drivers to blare pit the rebs?

As others have said, no part of Celtic Park is listed. Whatever anyone thinks about that, the one thing to note is that it allows flexibility for redevelopment at some point. I agree that the Main Stand needs modernizing, not for the sake of increasing capacity but because it lags modern stadia in terms of facilities.

The school was listed in category B, as is part of Ibrox (which seems to really matter to Sevco fans). Category B means (forgive the deathless prose): "Buildings of regional or more than local importance, or major examples of some particular period, style or building type which may have been altered." That is often taken to mean that such buildings can't be altered. This is not the case; there is just a more stringent application process. They can even be demolished, as was the case with the school and might yet be with Ibrox.

The look of the facade is very far down the list of things that matter to me at Celtic. But if pressed I'd have to say that it is not architecturally attractive. I'd be happy to see it improved: a modern interpretation of the old facade might be appropriate.
If it wouldn't have cost another £20m odd, I think Fergus would have demolished the Main Stand as well and would have built at stadium at a 90 degree angle to what we have just now
Why would he have done that gj?

the front of the main stand is a listed building.

in saying that, so was the school so you never know.

The Huns current main stand was put up in the same year as ours, 1929. It must be their main stand that is cat b? surely ours must've been too before it was updated in 1971?

More room. The Graveyard limited options for the North Stand. Thats the reason why there are seats with restricted views in the upper deck. We also had to lease air space above the graveyard

I take that point but would be very surprised if the answer would be to demolish the whole ground, rotate it, level the ground at the London rd side and start all over again. Can't imagine £20 million extra touching it.

The whole rebuild cost £40m so £20m would have done it back then

Was not aware of the £40 million price for the stadium back in mid 1990@s that for all 3 stands?

Yes, that included moving pylons, filling in the mine shafts etc.

If you went for a tour of the stadium when buying your shares theres a chance I was the tour guide

If it was ever even discussed, which I've never heard anything about before, the extra £20m would have discounted it immediately.

I'm not sure about the position in the 1970s but I doubt that the main stand at CP was ever listed. Like it or not the main stand at Ibrox (and this will include the marble stair case, the blue Room etc) does have some architectural merit. It baffles me that they got permission to surmount the listed facade with that upper deck.

That said, being listed brings with it onerous responsibilities which a cash strapped club could well do without.

Watching limited highlights of kilmarnocks match . Ajer looked quite suspect at corners , more concerned about his man than the ball. Only thing you could take the from the highlights.

Celtic undergound tweeting that new big screens should be in during the summer. We had installed new fancy electronic ad boards to replace the old ones but due to the temporary speakers for the PA system they don't fit round the pitch while speakers are in use but by the start of next season we should have - new uefa standard ad boards, new PA system and new screens.

At least some improvements are being made

CELTIC are planning to install a state-of-the-art AIRDOME at Lennoxtown in time for next winter.

SunSport can reveal the Hoops want to build a new full-size indoor facility like those used by Chelsea, Southampton and Ajax.

If planning permission is granted, Celts could begin work on the big-money dome over the summer ahead of key Champions League qualifiers.

Lennoxtown has a small indoor hall, but Treble-chasing gaffer Brendan Rodgers and predecessor Ronny Deila have both spoken about the need for a bigger all-weather facility.

The board has now sanctioned the bumper investment after exploring the feasibility of installing the airdome.

English Premier League leaders Chelsea had a similar facility, while EFL Cup finalists Southampton installed their own airdome in 2015.

Ajax also have a similar structure at their Amsterdam training ground, with it being wrecked by a storm in 2013.

Sunday’s Cup opponents St Mirren also have a training dome next to their stadium.

The dome base Celtic will install is fixed to the ground but will inflate to cover a new artificial surface at Lennoxtown, which is undergoing a costly revamp right now.

Lighting within the structure allows the pitch to be used night and day.

It will be a major boost for Rodgers’ long-term plans after he spoke about the prospect of an indoor facility last year.

He said: “If you have the facility to do that up here, or the finances, I think you should.”

Celtic’s first team would use the dome during the winter months, with year-round access for the club’s academy.

The plans are part of continuing work to improve facilities at Celtic’s base.

Two of the five grass surfaces are currently being relaid and camera gantries have been installed so Rodgers can film every session.

Rodgers has also asked for a new pitch at Celtic Park.

There's one man running Celtic now and it's not Lawell. He also seems to be here for longer than some are hoping for.
