So you don't appreciate having new toilets installed in that corner twice a year? |

Lawwell's "legacy" podcast for CU was interesting on a number of fronts - but the commissioning of the Economic Impact Study sounds like a shot across the bows of the Council. So, we're a business with 100 million turnover attracting a million visitors a year - but you can't park within a mile of it. And we're not just getting new floodlights, oh no - we're getting an "entertainment system".

Naw it doesn't. Idiotic knee jerk reaction to the Huns. We have the power and should be setting the agenda. Hopefully it's not to late for the board to step back from reciprocation |

Can you explain further why you think it's an idiotic knee jerk reaction? The Huns wreck our stadium on every visit....they cost our club money as they don't pay for the repairs....I'd have banned them years ago...not just because they have slashed our allocation for their cesspit |

It's idiotic because any knee jerk reaction in business is idiotic. I expect better from our club, there was no reason for us to immediately respond it weakens our position and means we are reacting rather than setting the agenda. The huns are huns, damage has been done to stadiums for ever, not big, not clever but the costs are met by the other side. It costs us a lot of inconvenience (excuse the pun) but we are commercially covered. Most, not all, but most fans if they are honest still look forward to that game more than any other domestically, take away their fans and you change that dynamic forever. I appreciate they have done that but that doesn't mean we have to |

What should we have done then? as far as I can see there was only one option that makes sense. Do we say oh sorry to hear that but you can send a rabble of 8000 round to us to spew their shampoo and wreck the place. If anything this may have been a godsend for Celtic, the perfect opportunity to feck them right off and they are left looking the fools and the bad ones. Win win for me.

What we shouldn't immediately have done was to show our hand. We could and should have taken it away and considered our response. Chances are the conclusion we would reach would be to reciprocate but then again it may not have been. Could there be a marketing opportunity - I think there very well may be. The point is to take time and consider all opportunities |

Not reciprocating to Sevco's actions would hurt the relationship between club and fans so it was the only thing the club could do. All the other nonsense about agenda setting, being reactionary and marketing opportunities mean eff all. You look after who puts the money into the club. In Celtic's case that is overwhelmingly the suport. |

Yeah, I’d rather the huns hadn’t put us in the position, but we had no choice but to reciprocate. |

Maybe the club considered this years ago and after much deliberation, concluded that if the huns ever cut our allocation then we'd do the same. The end result is that more Celtic fans see their team. I don't quite understand the attempt to see a downside in that |

The board had to be swift and decisive in reciprocating. Imagine the grief they’d be getting from fans if they’d sat on their hands only to cut the hun allocation anyway in a couple of weeks they’ve done the correct thing and stopped any accusations of only doing it to appease irate fans.

Harry Brady’s been going on about this for years. Football fans are treated like scum, but generate a lot of income for Glasgow. |

So we get 800 tickets but still give them 8500? Are you Neville Chamberlain? |

In the short term, if necessary, yes. Neville Chamberlain tried to appease a strong, powerful enemy - do any of us genuinely believe the huns are that? They have acted because they aren't in a position to hurt us, they are weak and desperate for a short-term cash boost, even better for King is that he gets to delude the rabids into believing that somehow they are fighting back. We need to respond from a position of strength because that is where we are. By reacting the way we have we are not doing that. Our board is employed to drive a strategy that is to the long term benefit of the Club, that means sometimes they take decisions that are not always immediately popular (for instance if the board had to act on the feelings of the fans PL would have been hoisted a few years back). I just dont get what is in it for us to kill the league fixture. The huns are doing their best but we can play it to our advantage. I know it's not a popular viewpoint but, IMO, we need to be bigger than that. |

You're assuming Pedro didn't see this coming and the response wasn't pre planned. We're always about 6 steps ahead of them in anything. They must go in on a Monday and think "what's the most Bashampoo crazy thing they could do?" And plan accordingly. Having listened to Lawwell talking about how reaction and short term planning is death for a business I can't see him not pre planning for this eventuallity.

I would have liked us to take a couple of days and then respond. The way it was reported in media it almost came across as a joint decision . If we had come out and said we note Sevcos actions and will respond soon type statement , then it would have been very clear they instigated it. The inevitable reciprocation could have waited a little . |
