Celtic supporters association/away allocation

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Needs to send a long letter to Celtic about their historical behaviour 

[JimmyCant]

Changing from clubs making their own decision on away allocations, within ‘reasonable’ numbers, to fixed percentage or fixed numbers would require an 11-1 vote in favour. Good luck with that one Celtic.

I was speaking to a family member who happens to be in the Police he dreads the Celtic games more than any other, says the Celtic supporters are the worst by a long chalk and at Tynie they now have to keep a section of 100 seats unsold because they get so many so called "supporters" doubling up through the turnstiles who then just sit wherever refusing to move when the rightful ticket owner turns up. They truly are appaling, I'm getting worked up just writing this.

Surely that can't be right? Actively allowing for fraudulent entry. Why don't the just police it if they know it's happening? That's what they are getting paid for.

It's both doubling up and fake tickets if they don't keep some unsold there will be overcrowding. I think the police are considered better deployed elsewhere or something but it 100% happens.

[TheBigO]

I wonder if any of these English Premiership clubs here mentions have ever had to remove their ballboys because the away fans were pelting them with coins. 10 yearold kids.

 

No? Never? Ok. Jog on then.

How on earth do they double up? Those turnstiles are absolutely tiny!

[Dsjambo]

It’s a great pity the rules don’t allow us to ban them all completely. All they do is spit out their IRA pish for the whole game and vandalise as much of the stand they can. Also heard gangs of them order pies etc and run off without paying. GTF the lot of them.

The overcrowding will all be in their section. Let it happen then they might get Joe, the General Secretary of The Celtic Supporters Association to do something about their own supporters inconveniencing their other own supporters by doubling up and selling fake tickets. Also, presumably the fake tickets were copied from a genuine ticket, supplied by one of their supporters who would be subject to the overcrowding. Madness to accomodate this.

So we’re cutting our own revenue by £3k every time Celtic visit, to facilitate their fraudulent entry ? Nah no chance we’re allowing that to happen.

 

Especially when a simple software tweak would stop it happening.

Been to 2 CD Tenerife games in the last week, gates are manned by stewards with what can only be described as clubs. Police Nacional hanging around with helmets too. Reckon we should be inviting these guys over to "help" our useless stewards and police.

Dear Neil,
I hope you’re well in these trying times for everyone. The reason for my email is the latest cut to the ticket allocation to Celtic Football Club by Heart of Midlothian Football Club. It is becoming increasingly frustrating for the Celtic Supporters who are trying to access tickets for away matches in Scotland, bearing in mind that Celtic have the biggest travelling support in Scotland, and maybe even in the UK, it makes no sense for some clubs who continually complain about lack of funds, to be denying tickets to visiting supporters when there are plenty of seats available within their stadium.

I know you have said in the past that you don’t want to interfere in how clubs allocate their tickets, but something has to be done, to use “A reasonable amount” as the yardstick is absolutely ludicrous, and has to change, before it has a serious impact on Scottish Football, and not in a positive way, but the exact opposite. The powers that be in Scotland need to convene an emergency meeting of the SPL as a matter of urgency, before it’s too late to save some clubs.

Just as UEFA impose supporter allocation on clubs participating In their tournaments, it’s high time for the SPFL to do the same. I don’t know of any Football Association in Europe that let the clubs decide such an important issue, and I include our nearest neighbours England in that. I believe in the English Premier League visiting clubs are allocated 3,000 tickets, or 10% if the stadium capacity is greater the 30,000, they also had a price cap for visiting supporters, but that’s an argument for a different day. Some people may think that stadia in England are all like Old Trafford or the Emirates, they’re not, for instance Fulham and Crystal Palace have capacity of around 25,000, Brentford has 17,000, Bournemouth has 11,000, and finally Luton {my favourite} has just over 10,000, hardly World Cup standard.

I think in Scotland it would be difficult to use a percentage of the capacity for allocation purposes, we don’t really have a big problem at Perth or Livingston, but we do have at, Ibrox. Kilmarnock, St Mirren, and the latest allocation from Hearts of 576, is absolutely scandalous. How do Supporters Clubs run coaches to matches when they might have one ticket? Will we see coach companies going into liquidation because the cancellation of football coaches, probably one trip to an away match would pay the drivers wages for the whole week. We were allocated over 7,000 tickets for Livingston, and there were still supporters outside trying to buy tickets, so Livingston and St Johnstone maximise the allocation to help themselves, while we have Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, and St Mirren giving small allocations while their stadium is far from full, financial suicide.

I would respectfully suggest a minimum allocation of 2,500 tickets for clubs who can sell the allocation to their own supporters, that would create a proper atmosphere, especially when the visitors were Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, and Hearts and Hibs. Aberdeen cut our allocation because seats were thrown at their supporters by visiting fans from another club, so why should Celtic Supporters be punished for the actions of other fans? Hearts have cut us continually over the last few seasons, we have went from a full stand, to 1,400, and now down to 576, are there no safety concerns for such a small number of visiting supporters? Celtic have been forced to decline tickets for Ibrox because the safety of our staff and supporters couldn’t be guaranteed, will we be forced to decline tickets from Hearts too? And the irony of it is, Hearts will give their most hated rivals Hibs, a full stand, which will be reciprocated. Are Celtic Football Club the only club in Scotland with a professional and successful Board of Directors? It certainly looks like it.
Kind regards,
Joe O’Rourke,
General Secretary,
Celtic Supporters Association.

Dear Joe

How many tickets do you give Rangers?

 

How many fines have Celtic received in Europe as a result of your own fans behaviour?
 

How many Celtic fans have provided baton practise for European police forces?

 

Anyway Joe, we’ll be sure to message the club on your behalf pleading they remove our own season ticket holders from the ground to make space for you and your buckfast fuelled mutants, to abuse residents, urinate in the streets, frighten the shite out of young barmaids, trash the seats in our stadium and give us 90 minutes of your somewhat suspect song book. And as a wee sorry for all the trouble we’ve caused we’ll even get our ground staff to have the pitch just the way Brenda likes it.

 

GTF Joe!!!
