Celtic Fan Kyle Whyte Fights for his Life in Amsterdam

Postby Admin » Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:15 pm

[COLOR=#333333:0fec015d]On Sunday out in Amsterdam, Kyle woke up not being able to feel his legs and as the day progressed was struggling to breathe and complained of chest pains. We took him to the airport medical wing where they quickly informed us he would be flying home. Kyle is anaemic and has had bone marrow transplants previously, and is now sitting on a life support machine unable to breathe by himself. Currently he isnt responding to medication but everyone is confident he will win this fight.[/COLOR:0fec015d]

i can assure you it is genuine, i am in contact with Kyle's friend who was with him at the time. I believe it comes from one of the papers up North. Kyle is a member of the Grampian Emerald CSC.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
