Campsie Bhoy,

Sorry meant to reply yesterday regarding your post. I am currently involved with a club and we have a fund set up where each member pays into a trust every month with minimum payment being £5. We meet once or twice a year to discuss how much money we have and what projects we can do to improve the ground. It is very successful and very surprising how much money can be raised within a year or 2 even with as little as 50 people. It's very difficult to get grants/ funding these days so maybe this is something you can look to do with your members. Seeing how successful this can be i really can't even imagine how much a Celtic fans trust would raise each year. we would have a new south stand in place for 10 in a row :-) Good luck with trying to get the new pitch get your petition up so we can all sign it. HH.

Stan thanks for that info mate we are finding it hard as well to get grants it's classed as a deprived area and the club has a quality Mark which we were told would enable us to access funding but it's proving difficult with the ridiculous laws we have in Scotland regarding funding and Astro facilities! Thanks Ed for allowing.

{Ed007's Note - Is this the East Dunbartonshire Council thing at Lennoxtown? A political lunatic of a woman I know sent me something about it a while back. I think I've signed it but here's the link for everyone else....

That's the 1 Ed Celtic have big changes they want to make and have bought a couple of houses round about apparently to stop any planning objections they have been good enough to let the teams all train there on a Wednesday for the last 7 years rent free even though this year there was supposed to be a charge. However instead of the clubs saving this money and putting it into a trust they have spent it elsewhere and now panicking as Celtic might not have them back due to recur a and needing it for there own use. And I'm quite sure the Nut that sent you that link is exactly that deranged lady.

{Ed007's Note - Good luck with it, a very worthy cause.}
