Was in the GB section for the Linfield game last summer. Was a good laugh. Wasn't too sure about the Capo thing to be honest. Find it a bit of a riddie.
In fairness to them they kept it going when the attendances went down.
Seems like the rest of the stadium don't sing now or it's hard to do so as you can't sing over the GB.
Was at a motherwell game a few years back and took a bunch of friends from the USA. 12 of us so enough to get a song going.
Couldn't really sing over the GB where we were sitting and also couldn't really join in.

Overall a bit of a mixed bag. Probably needed these days.

The atmosphere reflected the football when the GB started, shampooe. The first time I was in 111 was in the Mowbray season and the GB made the games enjoyable. Since then they've just got better and better, CP would be dead without them. They're not to everyone's taste but they'd be missed big time if they weren't there.

I remember a game against ICT where everyone in 111 had been warned about lateral movement, so everyone sat there with newspapers and didn't make a noise, the stadium was dead without the GB. The crowd rely them these days.

Celtic should be pushing the Scottish government to sell beer at games at the kiosks. When the alcohol ban was introduced, beer wasn't sold at the ground, it was people bringing in carry outs and getting jaked (even then that was just an excuse used). I think this law should be revisited with a 21st century perspective. Rugby fans can drink at a ground no bother, what makes them better than football fans.

I think it would be a nice earner for the club (and other SPL teams) and encourage people to go to the ground earlier rather than the pubs nearby, in turn probably buying other things at the stadium. No doubt it'd be piss water like Carling or Tennents and probably be about 5 quid a pint but I think people would still buy it.

If there are legit concerns about it, don't sell the beer for Glasgow derbies. I doubt people would get pished on the beer anyway if it was 5 quid a pint.

Absolutely. It's been years since I've attended but I enjoyed my experiences at baseball where you can buy beers during the game. I remember being told that in Toronto if the fans get a bit carried away they stop selling. I think in Toronto getting carried away probably means someone spoke in a loud voice!

Yes - I went along.

They didn't specifically say that ST prices would be going up but from my own personal opinion, I think they will just based on the way it was put across.

21st Century, best wee country in the world, but you can't buy a beer at the football, unless you pay for Club Level tickets or get into a limited space early enough. :nono:

I wonder, given that beer has been readily available for years at CP now to a select few, and more recently to Ordinary Joe through the Kerrydale Suite, I wonder what the increase in disorder and subsequent arrests for drunk and disorderly has been. There will be figures readily available, I'd guess. I'm going to be controvesrsial and say " no feckin difference whatsoever".
Decent beer kiosks would be a goldmine for the club. Individuals who over-imbibed would soon be shown the error of their ways. Might mean the Stewards actually have to work for their money . I'm in.

extremely disappointing if they're increasing the price of season tickets.

there's not any justification for it, given the money they've brought in over the past two seasons.

it'll be interesting to see the numbers on the HCTS next season too, they've had a free rein to charge as they pleased this year with the CL & EL pricing.

However one of the things that means Scotland is not "the best wee country" is it's problems with alcohol - and by that I do not mean the lack of availability at football matches.
I think politically it will be hardsell to get it changed anytime soon. I doubt the fact it could be a goldmine to clubs is a compelling argument (actually implies they would be selling loads of the stuff)

doesnt really make sense, our first qualifier this season was 14th july (should have been 11th or 12th but for linfield)

this summer it will be 10th or 11th july

you miss the point. It's readily available already if you either pay enough for your season book, or turn up hours before the game starts to gain access to the limited space of the Kerrydale Suite. None of this has resulted in worse behaviour , so why would making it more readily available to all change that? The vast majority of people would only change their couple of pints pre match from a pub to the Stadium.
