Heaven98 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It's excellent. Apart from the company, of course who in the main are as revoltingly insufferable as their poorer brethren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbusbomb Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The company I used to work for did a lot of business with Celtic and I would go along with clients to the Walfrid Restaurant and watch the game from the Directors Box. Very good scran plus lots of booze - tour of the Trophy Room/Player's lounge/tunnel/etc, is interesting the first time, thereafter if you go again, you start noticing the little things going on around you, like the mark/dent on the tunnel door (Mr Butcher's work), the mascot's mother telling Billy McNeil that she used to go out with his best mate and Charlie Farlie arriving in the reception looking like he had been dragged backwards through a hedge! Anyhoo the highlights were: sitting behind Souness and Murray watching the gers stuff them in a New Years Derby ; watching grown men's/priests blood vessels almost at bursting point if a Gers player hit the ball into the main stand ; and watching from the 'sky box' as Hearts beat them 1-0 - thank you Mr Preston - interestingly no 'tic player came up afterwards to receive our man-of-the-match trophy (custom dictated it had to be a 'tic) and apologies were offered from embarrassed staff ! I used to say to clients (who generally were not 'tic minded) that it was a good afternoon out, with a good meal and fine drink with the distraction of having to sit through 90 mins of tedious football in between - most agreed that accurately reflected the day at Celtic Park.

Hagar the Horrible Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I went once, it was an experience that's for sure! First of all escorted to your seat by an alter bhoy for some reason they had their bare backsides on display, The front lobby had a smell of urine. After sitting down to a glass of chorried communal wine and a white circular wafer?????? we opened the welcome pack which included a victim card a voucher to get my drive tarmac'ed and free gift of a Celtic crest engraved peg. I went to the toilet and sat in a cubical, the guy in the next cubical opened a little window that separated the booths, I said to him sorry pall there was no toilet paper in this one either, it turned out to be a confessional......oops, The priest said i will give a hail Mary? I said it would be better to give it 10 minutes if i were you! The meal was: Starter: Baked king Edward Main Meal: Fish and Chips Pudding: Maris Piper ice cream with proper made macaroon (iced tatties for the record). At half time the tour included a talk about how Jock knew naff all, and everybody is all out to get them. At full time we were all gived a form to complete to send to any embassy that would listen on how they are all victimised and that Naka has the right to fall over in the box and get a penalty:eek: At the end the vallet returned our hub caps and we were on our way:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went once through work Celtic v Hearts (when we got cuffed 5-0 at the start of last season). We were in a seperate suite and then sat out in the ground, despite it being Celitc, it was fairly enjoyable (result aside) and we got as much booze as we wanted all day.
