The bread and butter of any league season for Celtic are 38 league games split home and away, anything between 6 and 12 European games split home and away, and a handful of cup ties, unevenly split home and away as per cup draws, that maybe five times out of ten will lead to a cup final. In the last six years we've got to five domestic cup finals out of 12. In that time the club has played 320 competitive games, roughly half at home. An enormous 1.5% of these games have been cup finals. It sounds like what you are saying is that, as a potential future strategy, Celtic should completely ignore the potentially much greater revenue stream that comes with expanding the stadium (and hospitality) for the 95%+ of games that are home Celtic fixtures, because of some worries over who'll get Cup Final tickets, on the 8 or 9 times per decade we'll get to one. That is simply bonkers.

That's the one 👍 Doesn't have to be exactly like that but it's just an example of what could be done |

I originally made the ticket point and my tongue was planted in my cheek. I actually agree that we should expand corporate if there is a clear business case for doing it. However, I am also aware of the issue of tickets and I don't know how we deal with the increase in corporate demand for tickets for the usual games while still being fair to the ordinary fans. I don't think this should have too big an influence on the decision and is probably a bit of a tangential point. Maybe we reduce the price of normal tickets as they won't get a sniff at the big tickets? Anyway, carry on. Sarcasm does not work on the internet! |

I've said elsewhere that I don't think the stadium needs expanding, but I don't think I've put it into the context of my replies here that you've quoted. I've merely pointed out a couple of contradictions, if I can call them that, so I've not said that they're a basis for not expanding the stadium. Just that if we do, it comes at a cost that might not be immediately apparent. I like the fact that you're calculating total games, potential income for each etc. to try to quantify the benefit of this increased capacity as it shows you're putting thought into it. You are also putting words into my mouth though. I've said eff all about what I think our future strategy should be. Only that if we're so successful that we can afford to expand and fill our stadium capacity, that we get more income, but we also then get accustomed to getting 70,000 home fans at a cup game at Celtic Park and of those, only 19,000 will get a ticket for Hampden. Compared to the 19,000 that attended the most recent game against Aberdeen, there might also be a larger proportion of corporate seats. As before, none of this is a reason not to expand our own capacity if we're certain we'll make the money back in a reasonable amount of time - it's just a cost that comes with it that might not immediately spring to mind. |

Perhaps it would look better along the side where ours would be as opposed to behind a goal?? Anyway I'm not advocating this design, it's just to give an idea of what could be done . |

What's the lifespan of a football stadium? Would Celtic build a new South Stand as the first part of a new stadium? |

Well the coliseum in Rome is over 2'000 years old - although I am not sure how many Lazio - Roma derbies they have played there. |

Remarkable how little has changed in terms of the skeleton of a stadium from then until now. Not a bad seat in the house, from what I could tell. |

50 years I hope. No reason to change what we have drastically for another 30 years, surely? New toilets and facade, sure. |

It is one used the world over in business models for sport stadia, and it's absolutely bonkers to say that Scotland is in some way different.



who's on here.
