Best area to sit in Celtic Park.

Last season I sat in 413 this season (providing Neil Lennon isn't manager) I wouldn't mind moving elsewhere possibly lower tier.

Currently pay Β£448

Where else do you sit and how much is it?

Believable1 Unbelievable2

{Ed007's Note - My tickers are in ES1 in the South Stand, if you can afford it I would really recommend it for the view of matches although the atmosphere is a bit more subdued these days it makes no difference. There's some amount of panty wetters in there too but if you're a brass necked sod like me that's part of the fun, especially because you're next to the away fans.}

06 May 2016 00:19:41
Ed a sat in the south stand for years when a was younger n your right the atmosphere was always worse there. Can't mind the section but it was right behind the away dug out, which was amazing on old firm days. They were the days eh? Don't think a could sit that close to Walter Smith now or ad end up in the jail. Fuck me that was nearly 20 yrs ago n av no aged at all, well not mentally anyhow

Lol, John Park asked for 60 quid so I guess that's me contributed to about 50% of the new managers transfer kitty!

Happy birthday Ed, hope it's a good one mate. Not a frequent poster but on the site numerous times a day catch up with all things Celtic. Love your input and particularly your winding up of the Sevconians. Enjoy your day.

So this year I am cutting down from 4 season tickets to 2 purely due to themes being pregnant and won't be going much. I will buy these no matter who comes in but will be holding off for a bit maybe even move seats this year just for a wee change. Wouldn't know what to do if I didn't go to paradise.

So we have announced a freeze on season ticket prices! I'm certainly not telling fellow fans what to do but I would love st holders to hold off renewing until we knew exactly what what the plans are in terms of who the new manager will be and what funds will be available to him and indeed if our Chief executive and head scout have a future at our club! That's exactly what I will be doing! Us fans have been getting fleeced for way too long now.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

05 May 2016 00:12:47
The less people renew and the less people buy season tickets, the more fans will suffer . We suffer with less fans at matches and we suffer with less funds for buying and paying the wages of new players .
Everyone do what they want to do .

Happy Birthday Ed007!
Hope you have a great day!
Once again great job with this excellent site I visit it at least 10 times a day to check on the rumours! You Ed's do a great job!

{Ed007's Note - Thanks very much, Gaz, that's really appreciated buddy.}

04 May 2016 19:31:58
Ed since its your birthday, here is a question for you,
from a Celtic fans prospective.

1) best football era
2) best team ( complete within that time )
3) best manager, that`s a difficult 1
4) best player.
5) best Game.
6) best memory.

and of course this is for the best ED : hahaha.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note I take it they're all Celtic related answers you're looking for.
1) It has to be the late 90's into the 2000s seeing us winning trophies again after Rangers dominance.
2) MON's. the football was terrible apart and from Lubo and Larsson we would have been average but I love seeing CFC win games and winning trophies even more.
3) For Celtic, Paul McStay. Ever is Roy Keane.
4) Stopping that mob do 10 in a row.
5) The few times I met Tommy Burns over the years. Games etc I can always rewatch but those memories can never happen again so you need to keep them in your heart.}

04 May 2016 16:50:08
Have this terrible feeling that the release of season books today means that there is no announcement regarding the new manager in the near future, otherwise it would have been put on hold especially if dd and pl believed it would excite the support, I firmly believe they have been caught with their pants down, there was never any plan to replace Ronny until that shocking display against the newco rocked the boat . Its going into the third week now and the fans are being kept in the dark like mushrooms, everything we do as a club is first class in many ways just need the people at the helm to realise get it wrong on the park the rest matters not.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

04 May 2016 17:36:47
In all honesty they would always do it this way.

Season tickets are done in 3 phases.

Phase 1 - Sign up the diehards, majority will renew regardless who is the manager.

Phase 2 - Announce new manager week beginning 23rd May, round up any potential drop outs and allows Lawwell to see how many are being swung by who the manager is.

Phase 3 - By announcing the week beginning 23rd May when the tickets go on sale to public after the 27th there will be enough buzz about the new manager.

I am in phase 2 holding off to see who the new manager is, I can't put myself through a year of Neil Lennon again.

Agree4 Disagree2

04 May 2016 18:51:17
I'll be surprised if the fans are stupid enough to get season books at an early stage

Years and years of bitter disappointment in management and playing staff mean I'll wait to see who's in charge and who we sign before I consider buying again.

Happy Birthday Ed, if you could as a present to yourself which player would you get for the hoops?

Believable2 Unbelievable6

Lmao I will let you off with that one because its your birthday πŸŽ‚

I will have you know I count a page 3 model, a Miss Scotland and more lately a UK "Frankie Vaughan" star among my conquests I put it down to my deep pockets Ed rather than my rugged good looks lol

At 44 next month this sugar daddy life style is really hard but someone has to do it:-D.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Gee mate, with those conquests you might get in the next Celebrity Big Brother! A gentleman never tells but it's amazing how many of them fancy a bit of common rough after a few when you're working their security.}

05 May 2016 19:09:19
Having done my fair share of bouncer / security details in my youth a can vouch for that mate you will know the vulnerable need more than a wee cuddle from time to time :-O

But as far the CBB or the BB mate that has got to be the worst mind numbing program on the telly buddy surely! Can/ Could never get my head round how anyone could sit and watch people sitting about a house for fox sake : (

Guys looking for some advice please. I have seen several of you before talking about android boxes and kodi I was looking to buy this off of amazon but wanted some advice from the experts before I purchase it? Any help will be much appreciated.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed007's Note - Sorry it's taken so long to answer, Kerzo, you should visit our Android talk page HERE and have a gander at the info there already If it's a Firestick I don't know much at all but Welsbhoy is our resident expert on there and another coulple of guys know a lot more then me, not to mention Ed001s expertise in most things technical.
The one think I will say about buying an android box from Amazon is that there are a lot of cheap Chinese fakes and rip offs of the boxes which last for a while then you get major problems with add-ons updating etc.
I bought a T8 box from EntertainmentBox.com who you can HERE
and apart from all my games consoles etc it's THE best piece of equipment I've ever bought, it's so simple and easy to set up and use and because the company is a real shop the back up service is second to none, with helpful staff at the shop on the phone or on social media.
I've also notices they have launched an H5 box which is only Β£34.99 and sounds a right bargain to me.
By the way the shop is nothing to do with me so don't think I'm advertising or plugging them for any personal gain. I shopped around and found that sounded the most reliable to me and I have had no complaints so I do recommend them through experience.
Remember though that you can install KODI on most devices to use, but I bought a box simply because I would have needed to buy another laptop to connect to the TV as I use my laptop all day already, the box sounded ideal (and cheaper) and no messing aboout with switching cables and sh1t when you want to watch something - and it's easier for wives to use the box than trying to connect laptops to the TV, mine would never have entertained that idea. Another laptop in the living room sitting here the PS4 was just to watch football and movies was never going to be ideal for her.
Get yourself over to the ANDROID TALK

04 May 2016 21:20:54
Thanks for the info ed one of the lads I worked with sent me a link for the one he has so just went ahead and bought it only Β£30 so if it goes pear shaped no big loss. Just sick of paying a fortune every month to companies to watch the same old crap. Cheers for your help though.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Good luck with it, Kerzo and any problems don't be shy to ask, no matter how stupid you might think it is. Good on you too mate for stiffing it to SLY etc, I'll help anyone with info about it.}

05 May 2016 11:32:01
As ed says be wary of cheap Chinese clones. I'm just about to order one of these looks great piece of kit for the money

Very good site to buy anything from too.
Amazon Fire I love but they being a pain lately with all the updates.
One thing I would recommend is plex servers work a treat on nowtv boxes some are fully loaded with all the streams and vod you will ever need. Simple search on google or Facebook will lead you to them look for ones with good feedback and support tho.

I don't look on you as old, I look at you as a respected gentleman with an experience of life a lot of us could learn from. (yes) You're the type of man Walter Smith wishes he could be. I'm sure that'll be a popular opinion :=D

Happy Birthday. All the best and keep orange juice to a minimum, even that can be lethal 😳.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate. Just as you say that about orange juice, it's amazing the things you think are good for you until you find out your diabetic. Look at the wee colour code things you get on food these days for a real eye opener about what you're actually putting into your body.
Don't worry, I'm not going to get all Hulk Hogan on you 'Say your prayers and take your vitamins' but it's really surprising when you do it for everyday stuff.}

05 May 2016 00:25:47
Happy birthday young man, I imagine you are still in the first half of your life-span . The second half, if it's anything like mine will go a lot slower with bits and pieces either falling off or not working . Keep up the good work and hopefully we will get a new manager we will like for a couple of weeks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - At 42 I'd be delighted if it was just the first half but I'm pretty certain I'll be up there watching football with my dad long before I'm even seeing 60 on the horizon. Cancer, complications from diabetes and people shooting you in the face has made it rare for any male since my great-grandfather to see 60 except one of my dad's bros who's 81 in a couple of months, I think it's the fact he seems to have replaced his blood with whiskey that keeps him going! I've even got cousins dying in their 50s!
My God you don't have put a depressing spin on everything, Chris lol. Thanks very much for the birthday wishes and compliments. Let's hope we can get a manager that we can all get behind.
When it's working at Celtic, when the players, manager and all fans are united it's wonderful, even beautiful. But more than that it's a frightening prospect, when it clicks we're unstoppable at Celtic Park.
The press and their associates know this, they've seen it and they will do ANYTHING to drive wedges between us because they fear what we're capable of pulling together - we MUST stop them doing this - just remember Seville?
That's it for me for this season, I'm gutted it didn't work out for RD, I honestly thought we had unearthed a gem and I think losing the treble last season knocked a lot of the wind and fire out the team. There's no point going over NL v RD debates, I'll always wonder what might have been, I do still think Lawwell had the right idea but the wrong personnel in John Park and John Collins. But that's all water under the bridge too and we all go round in circles saying the same thing again, and again.
In 12 months time we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of our greatest triumph, what better tribute than us all pulling together to show everyone once again why we are truly the greatest football club Scotland has ever seen.
In years gone by when it mattered CFC delivered, 1967, 1988, 2013 v Barca in our 125th Anniversary.
Is Dermott Desmond and Peter Lawwell willing to make this another special year for when it REALLY matters, and not just for the older history but for the recent history.}

Renewals same price as this season, no doubt being sent out on the back of the positive publicity of us winning the league. Be interesting to see what replaces the usual war cry letter from the manager attached to the form.
