Begg's vision destroyed Paisley Begg's mentality destroyed high streets up and down the country A few months back, Hue Whatchamacallhim, welsh news-reader, did a series of programmes looking at Wales. He went to one town that had achieved a remarkable rebirth of its town centre and its main street. Local shops had returned to the main street and the place was booming. Hue interviewed the local council leader and asked what they had done to achieve this economic miracle. The councillor admitted 2 years ago they had a highly aggressive anti car policy, but due to a change in meters there was a period of 6 weeks without the meters in operation. All local traders reported a huge boost in trading and so as an experiment they kept the meters 'out of order'. They never looked back, shops that were closed were reopened, the town centre that was dying was reinvigorated and they ripped out every meter and replanned to accommodate the driver. |

You do need some parking restrictions. Last year in Stirling, the police decided to withdraw their provisions to provide traffic wardens to the town. The council, being the council, took almost a year to set up its own force (we now have parking enforcement officers rather than traffic wardens). So, there was a year of a free for all parking in the town. If the coppers drove by and spotted someone on zigzags or maybe a disabled bay, they might have done something about it but they'd have to have been really bored. What happened was anyone who worked in town drove in and parked as close as possible to their work. Didn't matter if it was on pavement or double yellows. It was pandemonium. There were times when I wanted to nip into town for a haircut or to pick something up from a shop and couldn't near to where I wanted to go. Best for parking in town is free for 30-60 minutes then metered thereafter. And parking officers that are there to ease the flow of traffic rather than collect money from the council. |

Is the pitch getting re-laid over the winter break? I'm certain it was mentioned the new Desso foundations got done in the summer with a new pitch, then a new pitch at winter followed by the Desso getting completed during the summer break. |

That was the way it was to happen, but recent pictures suggested the pitch was being treated with lamps rather than relaid. The Desso definitely gets installed come summer. |

The last bit gets done in the summer. The rest was done a few weeks/months into the season. |

Looks like the SAL will be sharpening his pencils and readying his FOIAs again. May he meet the same fate as before: https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/celtic/celtic-push-on-with-bid-to-buy-land-for-new-fan-zone-area-1-4721518/amp?__twitter_impression=true |

I've been saying for years that the floodlights are really poor. Not surprised at that. |

Best thing to do would be to rebuild South Stand but will continue refurbishing? Bit silly no? Edited by ssmith81, 14 Apr 2018, 02:25 AM.

South stand needs rebuilding to get rid of the pillars and increase hospitality provision. Surely it would pay for itself in more sell-able seats and increased hospitality revenue. Would also allow us to improve on the current frontage of the stadium (although I may be in a minority of one as I actually like the outside of the main stand!) The big pillars are almost embarrassing for a club of our size, can't think of another club with a stand roof that causes so many restricted view seats. A new roof required at least? |

Think at the moment a full new stand wont be sustainable to the board. Can only see it happening if we get substantial sponsorship or we enter into some sort of larger European league. |

We don't have to go mad and make it the same as the other stands, that would be unsustainable unless, like you say our circumstances change. Keep capacity about the same but with a load of corporate boxes, improved fan facilities and a decent roof! Unless the board don't want to build a 'small' new stand now then have to rip it down in a few years to build a 72,000 seater when we get into the EPL?!

Think it all must come down to cost. Prioritising a hotel and museum over a new south stand makes more sense, as does building a permanent fanzone. Regardless of the fact the south stand is old, the stadium is pretty magnificent and every club in Europe agrees. Improving the area around Celtic Park - for me - has to come first. A renovation of the South Stand will be relatively cheap compared to the other option and if done properly could be really great. |

I like the south stand,it's nearly quaint.The hotel should be a priority .Some outfit will make money from one in that area soon ,it might as well be Celtic . |

South stand is terrible for a club of Celtic’s stature. Facilities are shocking, as are the provisions for the press. Most expensive seats in the stadium and these fans still get relocated for UEFA matches.

Altering the main stand could be difficult. Is it not a listed building? |
