That's fair enough, but I think we're probably getting a bit bogged-down in semantics re. 'despair.' |

That's enough for me and a few celts bhoys I know. I cant get a season ticket due to work so I go as often as possible. 4 hour round trip, cost petrol food, beer etc on top of the expensive ticket prices. Do the board put in anything to encourage supporters to attend, the answer is no. This has been going on for to many years, and the simple answer is the boards strategy is all wrong. The fans are not asking for investment that causes financial concern to run appropriately, we ask for every penny above that to be placed into the first team, so we can go and enjoy our fitba at the weekend. Its at the stage where prudency to this degree becomes farcical, and I am not going to invest my money in this club when they cannot even invest what is not there's.

They'll not a dime from me until they pay a living wage and get rid of Griffiths/Stokes. I'd also like to know there 5 year plan. Although I suspect more of the same. Sack The Board. |

Pretty much sums up how I feel. We have had a free reign in CL the past two years. The failure to strengthen has led us to the situation where we are at the moment: an infinitely inferior team to that which beat Barca in 2012, soundly beaten by a Polish team home and away and face having our dinner given to us by Maribor. You would think they would do the joined up writing and see that failure to invest in decent players and put an entertaining team on the park is having the effect of turning punters away- the emotional pull may drag us back but for a lot of us a watershed has been reached. Its nothing to do with the absence of any form of imitation hun team in the league, the entertain is just not there. We have had a unique position to strengthen over the past years with CL money and millions brought in on transfer fees- we have spectacularly failed to take advantage and the board are now reaping what they have sown. They are losing fans and may struggle to get them back. No-one is suggesting for a moment we go on a spree that we cannot afford but to progress window after window in harvesting money and palpably failing to re-invest is just wrong. Loan deals are not the way ahead. I read Peter Houston some weeks ago talking about the extensive scouting data base we had- time to put this to good effect. |

Our accounts are not now put " out ". They are unveiled, revealed , disclosed , trumpeted, divulged and any other euphemistic spin our board can put on them to divert attention from the less than stellar performances and performers , being progressively served up to the people who provide the greater part of the good financial news.

With the scale of downsizing in the playing squad, even into the first team manager and the way us as fans are being treated, can't help but feel the heart is being ripped out of our club. |

I have just finished a 5 year secondment and will be going back on to shifts (eff you NHS ), so I really hummed and hawed about renewing my SB, as I reckon I might only get to half our games.I renewed our 4 books last week, using Zebra, as money was a bit tight this month. Like a lot of you I am now truley pissed off that despite being given a 2nd bite at the cherry, we are yet again money pinching and taking the fans for a ride. To be honest I feel like a bit of a mug. Does anyone know if I was to cancel my DD and tell them to stuff it,if my Credit score would take a hit? Or if there is a cancellation period? I cant actually believe I am even considering doing this as I have had a season ticket for the last 16 years, but I have never felt this disheartened when it comes to our club. |

I feel for you mate. Our board has long known the attachment that our fans have for the club, and played on it. If there is a cancellation or cooling off period, I don't think your credit score would take a hit if you were within the time limits. But I can't say since I don't know the Zebra deal. |

Are the other 3 books for members of the family? If so - how do they feel about it? |

Cheers mate. Never used Zebra before and still waiting on all the gumph coming through. Will probably give them a call to find out. |

Yeah, wife and Kids. They would be gutted, as would I, but like I said, likely we would only make half the games anyway, with them being passed to friends and family for the others. The really effing annoying thing is that I went ahead and renewed despite the humiliating defeat in Warsaw, kidding myself on that as Celtic fans, the board would finally click as to what is needed regarding investment in the team. Really havent felt this low regarding our club in ages. |

Think of the children I'd have been gutted if my Da had sent back my SB on a matter of principle with the Board - although when I was a kid, it didn't matter, we got lifted over. Would you still be planning to take the family on a game-to-game basis? |
