Of course we will sell out those two home games. The question is the rest. |

So that is kind of my point, that there is a substantial interest in the huns coming back. If we dont sell more SBs there doesnt appear to be much chance of investment in the product. Going by the way the club is being run. |

Makes me laugh that some posters think the "I wont be renewing unless.......*insert reason*" thing will actually work. We sold in the region of 40k season tickets this year and will no doubt sell the same next year if not more with the return of the Huns II. There's never going to be a case of something like 20k season ticket holders NOT renewing. So all your really doing is cutting your nose off to spite your face Each to their own though |

Would love to think we can organise and hold some form of protest - SB will all be sold, we'll probably all crumble and buy them. I've missed half the games this season due to work and I'll probably still buy it. Thing is it has been pretty difficult to give away a free ticket these past few months. Don't get me wrong I won't be there on Saturday and plenty of people asked if they could get it for the Hearts game and I imagine the same would happen if / when the Zombies are promoted. A Green Brigade banner asking about Res 12 could work a massive Res 12 and a question mark, with a gathering outside the front doors before / after the game - I doubt enough people would attend though to make it worthwhile. |

Unfortunately, I think there are enough Celtic fans slabbering at though of playing the tribute act, that Pistol Pete will just keep the head down in the hope it goes away. Any other business would be fighting to ensure their customers who paid good money to watch a rigged league would have sort of justice. Quite depressing really. |

I am not talking protest. I am talking personally scunnered to the point I don't want to put up with another season of it. If we get someone like Moyes and some serious investment in the areas of the team that need it then maybe I will choose to spend my money. Otherwise, two Sevco games is not going to make me put up with another season of struggling against the likes of Hamilton and Dundee

At no point did I say we'd sell out season books What I'm saying is we wont sell less season books next year than we did this year in my opinion. |

As I said each to their own mate There's no right answer. My Saturday's for the past 20 year have been a few drinks watch the game and then go home or out afterwards. I'm far from happy with what I've watched this season and far from happy with the choice of manager. However that wont stop me from going to games I'll be at parkhead a long time after some of the imposters that are there at the momentso for the time being I just need to grin and bear it. There's been far worse times to support the club than right now so gotta take the rough with the smooth that's the way I see it. P.S your on to plumbs if you think we're going to bring in a manager like Moyes and spend millions on the team. So enjoy your sabbatical away from Parkhead

To be fair, it only takes 50,000 Celtic fans to sell out games against them whereas it'll take the thick end of 60,000 to sell out the others. |

Lots of things change about clubs. They build new stands, they change their jerseys, they add badges, change badges, sometimes after decades, they knock down the stand they built and move to a brand new spanking out of town stadium, they change the name of the ground from some cherished historical name to an advert for a training shoe or an airline... all of these things happen, yet they remain the same club. One thing that happens that means you're not the same club? Liquidation. You go out of business. You lose your history, the continuity that took you from the day you were formed by soon-to-be certified imbeciles and bankrupts, to the day that you went out of business, with the same kind of people in charge. All the stuff in between? A memory. Sure, it's their memory and no one can take it from them. No one wants to. We're not in the business of rewriting history (that's their job). But the notion that they're the same club, just because their name is nearly the same and the people who follow follow them out of that crumbling temple of doom like to sing songs about the good ol' days of religious discrimination? Well, they can cling to it like an old fart, but it's left their rotten, decomposing arse and it's not coming back. |

45k+ Season tickets for next 2 years for nostalgic reasons. Then we are on 8-9-10 in a row marketing strategy. Progression in european competitions, added bonus. 5 Year business plan of 45k+ right there, all in the length of a twitter message. Edited by Adam Smith 11, 28 Mar 2016, 06:33 PM.

I remember Harry Brady on the Celtic Underground podcast towing through something similar to outline how the death of the Huns would be a marketing and commercial diamond for the club. That didn't exactly work out too well considering the idiots managed to blow almost every opportunity they got. |
