With the game not on TV next week I hope some smart pricing will be applied regarding tickets. I doubt it will be on the season ticket. So I hope the tickets are priced to sell and get the ground as full as possible

{Ed007's Note - The prices are £15 for adults and £5 for concessions.}

Cheers ed. I think that's a fair enough price.

11 Mar 2015 16:15:13
Why oh why are the locals moaning about the price of match tickets. There are thousands of fans that spend £50 and more travelling to Celtic Park . If the locals paid something like £40 towards the cost of this travelling, it maybe fairer all round .
I am justsick of people moaning about £25 per ticket

11 Mar 2015 16:55:47
Chris what are you on about now. Who was moaning. I was asking for a fair price to attract more people when the games not on the season book or TV. I was advised the price was 15 and I said that's fair. What has that got to do with travel costs. IF your happy to pay 25 next week then buy a ticket and stick a tenner into charity. If your not happy with travel costs move closer to celtic park. Am I to subsidise your travel because I stay that close to celtic park some of big efes passes end up in my garden. Of course not.

Garybhoy . Many many of the Celtic supporters do live far away from Celtic Park and I am sure even you realise that many of us who have roots elsewhere just cannot take up Tebbit's bike and move closer to Celtic Park . It seems the fans who live closer are more concerned about admission charges than those further away who have to pay more .

11 Mar 2015 22:53:51
Chris I will give you the courtesy of a response. But I am convinced you are constantly at the wind up. So what would your travel subsody plan include. All those who live within 10 miles help to pay for those outwith 10
Miles. All those traveling from inside scotland help those from outside scotland. All those inside glasgow help those outside glasgow. What about earnings. Should we take a mans wage into consideration before we decide how much he should pay. Chris If you are fortunate enough that you can get over for games( I don't know if you can) then fair play. There are guys who live on the same St as the stadium who can't afford it. It's like anything else in life there are some things you can afford to do and some things you can't . May I remind you chris all I done was ask about a ticket price here.

Your spot on Gary if you choose to come and support us rather than your local team ( a lot of the times for reasons outwith football ) then you choose to pay the extra travel costs, simple.

12 Mar 2015 16:09:55
Naw not so simple, the moaning poor mouths locals from the Glasgow area keep harping on about the price of admission . For the last two years they have had £100 each year off the price of season tickets plus many one off reductions and even free admission to those who could prove their unemployment / benefit entitlements before match . That's find and I am not saying that local fans are not worthy of enducments

I would like the club to subsidise some of the travel expenses for those who encore in excess of some figure around £40 or £50 by making a contribution to the bus company who should pass it on. If Celtic is going to remain great it will only do so by capturing the local support in greater numbers than now, but Successful Celtic and some unsuccessful Celtic teams always had fans travelling in great numbers from all over these Islands . I know of people who travelled from Ireland to Glasgow on cattle boats . The fans were hemmed in with the cattle and I heard many stories of the problems if an animal got turned roun .
Fab1 without the vast hoardes supporting are team from every where and anywhere Celtic would be just like Hibs or Kilmarnock in ten years

12 Mar 2015 18:29:49
Oh my Chris I think you really over estimate the amount of fans who travel over the Irish sea for games, I know for a fact only 1-2 hundred fans come through gla airport because I deal with them, and that's for a big game . Now I can't imagine anymore than 1000-1500 come on the ferry every week ( just a guess but looking at the ferry times, capacity and frequency it might even be an over estimate) so you think a drop off 1700 fans would leave us with crowds of 5 - 10 thousand. You truly do underestimated our club and overestimated your own importance m8.

12 Mar 2015 20:09:07
Fab I was just reading back there. All I've done is ask a ticket price for next week. That led to me being told I've to pay Chris' travel over. When I refused it changed to Peter lawell has to pay Chris' travel. All I done was ask the price of a ticket 2 days ago. lol. Chris maybe you should ask Timalloy he seems to be doing well on the horses. He may pay for you to come over. lol

12 Mar 2015 20:58:30
Maybe we could chip in and find him a hobby, it might keep him off here LOL 😁

10 Mar 2015 19:43:43
If it ain't broke don't try and fix it. tomorrow the Ruby Walsh/Mullins partnership should rack up at least two more winners 1.30 Nicholas Canyon and 5.15 Bordini good punting

10 Mar 2015 20:27:41

10 Mar 2015 20:58:46
Good luck Jamie.

10 Mar 2015 21:56:17
Thanks Gary (y)

10 Mar 2015 22:53:42
Jamiebhoy you are braver than me and more patient waiting until Friday I would be on tenterhooks lol also what I do is perm all my horses ie Lucky 15 etc so if one horse let's you down (which Annie Power did to me today) you still come out ahead but I will be rooting for you good luck

10 Mar 2015 16:40:36
Hope some of you were on Glen's Melody which won at 6/1 (and all those "disagrees" missed out) lol

10 Mar 2015 18:06:51
Missed your initial post mate. Remember last cheltenham you did decent and I nicked a couple off you. Didn't realise there were betting pages on here. Be sure to have a look.

10 Mar 2015 18:24:28

Awryt ed. been readn a lot about the celtic replay next wed is not going to be shown live because of champs league games!. is ther any options to explore by letting bbc broadcast it?.

HH

Chris1888

{Ed007's Note - The rules are that no other matches can be shown in direct competition to the CL so it wouldn't matter if it was BBC, ITV, SLY or even BBC Alba, the game can't be shown.
I don't know if the clubs will explore an earlier K.O. say at 6 p.m. but if it goes to E.T. and penalties it could still run into CL time, I can't see any way it can be shown on TV unless the clubs decide on an afternoon (3 p.m.) K.O.}

10 Mar 2015 20:07:42
I thought the television rule was only when a team for the same country played in the cl then there could be no other live match shown as there is an u21 game on mutv just now

10 Mar 2015 11:24:06
I apologise for being a bit dim, but what are the rules regarding these sending offs on Sunday.
Van djik was sent off and misses the league cup final and the replay, fair enough.
Paul Dixon gets sent off for Dundee United, but can play in the final, how is this?.
I remember the Cup replay against Rangers in 2011, when they had 3 players sent off, yet none of them served bans because the suspensions only counted for Cup matches, and as none of them were at Rangers the following year they effectively got off scot free.
There must be a logic somewhere in all this,
but I'm afraid I don't understand what it is.


bu t I'm afraid I don't understand

10 Mar 2015 12:22:08
I think a red card for violent conduct carries automatic 3 game ban fir the next 3 games.

10 Mar 2015 12:23:00
I think if a player is sent off for violent conduct then he misses the next game. Otherwise I think the ban is for the next game in that competition only

10 Mar 2015 12:52:56
Thanks, I didn't know what the rules were, you would think it would be more straightforward to just treat the competitions the same disciplinary wise.

Guys not wanting to do ED001's job for him but for the punters among you can I direct you to the Football Rumours Bet site where two other EDS are doing quite nicely thank you ED023 Horse Racing and ED046 Football bets (ED046 is showing a healthy profit for a £10 stake, have a wee look) Good profit hunting PS ED001 was that you wanted me to say by sending me that tenner? lol

{Ed001's Note - hahaha in your dreams!}
