Read on twitter earlier - and can't find the tweet anymore - someone suggesting that we've been told 'unofficially' that we'll be hosting a European final soon. Surely with all UEFA's rules this is a no-go? |

This isn’t a maintenance project though. The club will expect to benefit financially from this, whereas tidying up the stadium is just necessary throwing away of money. |

I guess there is an element of recouping the money with what is being spent - I don't agree though that the upkeep of the stadium is throwing away money. It's just part and parcel of maintenance and it doesn't look to me like a whole lot has been spent on the stadium itself since it was built. Seems a shame to spend so much money on the Celtic Way etc when the stadium itself is starting to look tired and ugly in places. The perils of being a Celtic da eh. |

Yeah the posters surrounding the stadium itself brightened the place up a bit but I'd like us to do something similar to the outside of old Trafford. The main stand definitely needs rebuilt to bring us back up to elite standard. I fully believe this will be on the list as soon as the hotel is up and running. Fwiw Lawwell will know the exact plans and how far along the pipeline this 'European league' is, and i would guess all this maintenance around the stadium and hotel etc. Is part of a wider picture getting us prepared for the European league being up and running. |

Stadium maintenance is “throwing way money” in that it’s necessary expenditure for no return. That’s not the case with the new lighting setup, so it’s not really a fair comparison. The club will expect to save money on energy costs, and to benefit from the way they use it - advertising, social media presence, intangible image and reputation stuff, etc. |

I take your point. Not sure exactly how the money will be recouped but I can't see Lawwell going to that expense for a light show - so that was a bit dismissive of the project. In relation to the ground - I also see what you mean, nevertheless I'd like to see some money invested in the aesthetics of the stadium - which is starting to look its age - and I'm sure it will be.

One thing Lawwell etc can never be accused of is feathering their own (work) nest, given how relatively poor the corporate part of the stadium is.

Just had a wee read up on the specs of the Phillips ArenaVision LED lights. The main point of them is that they're flicker free for 4k (and 8k) UHD cameras for the super slo-mo stuff that the broadcasters do these days. Not sure if we'll be getting the wiggling spots on top of that, though, as they actually use arc lamps*, not led. *Edit: I stand corrected. Phillips also own Vari-lite who've just introduced the VLZ - a very high output LED wiggler. Edited by Nisi Dominus Frustra, 11 May 2018, 10:48 PM.

Anyone heard any more about the training dome to be built at Lennoxtown? Been on the cards since Ronny was here...iirc we were only getting it when Ronny was here if we qualified for the Champions league...I'd be disappointed if we haven't gone ahead with those plans. |

Not keen on that. Will be on the factor 50 sunglasses, if such a thing exists. Will include a much missed throwback to the 70s and 80s with people being stretchered off around the pitch. Epileptic fits this time, rather than the old sprained ankles and drunken catastrophes. |

It’s only the SFA that can put forward Celtic Park for UEFA finals I think. Can’t see that happening anytime soon. |

I don’t see why not, if the SFA act even-handedly (which admittedly shows a flaw in my argument ).Only Murrayfield is bigger and that would mean giving all the income to rugby. This year’s Europa League final is in Lyon, capacity 59,000. Poland submitted Gdansk with a capacity of just over 40,000 for 2020 final. Celtic Park has a good reputation for atmosphere, and Hampden should be second best in any proposal that the SFA might submit. |

If they move from Hampden that might remove the main stumbling block. I don't think its a specific historical anti-Celtic reason that they don't put it forward, as Ibrox (back in its heydey ) also never got put forward. Rather its down to the fact they have to keep their White Elephant going, so only ever put Hampden forward. |

Any chance they could put a decent wifi system into the mix when they're doing that upgrading? The present quality is lamentable.

I don't think we can host a cup final unless we renovate/increase the size of the changing rooms and tunnel area no? Can't see us doing that anytime soon. |

Never mind light shows and wifi, how about a decent p.a. system? How do other big clubs manage their pa? can the announcements be heard in these super stadia? Any time there is an announcement or an interview with someone interesting on the park at half time it comes over as gibberish. Would like to have heard Tom Boyd the other night but it was hopeless. The only clear announcement is the police message before kick-off. This has been going on for years now, is an absolute bugbear. |
