How to report complaints of unfair treatment.

Postby Joe O'Rourke » Tue Dec 04, 2012 1:59 pm

Following on from recent comments regarding the Police harassment of Celtic Supporters both home and away, John Andrews (Association President) and I met with Peter Lawwell and Celtic’s head of Operations Ronnie Hawthorn last Friday November 30[SIZE=2:bd8e0f2a]th[/SIZE:bd8e0f2a].

We have a very good discussion about the way issues are handled, including the one regarding a member of the Govan Emerald CSC, which was resolved amicably. The clubs position is that any complaints will be rigorously investigated.

We agreed that any issue of unfair treatment of supporters should in the first instance be reported through the FAC (Fans Against Criminalisation) group, FAC can be emailed at [EMAIL="fansagainstcriminalisation@gmail.com"][COLOR=#0000ff:bd8e0f2a]fansagainstcriminalisation@gmail.com[/COLOR:bd8e0f2a][/EMAIL:bd8e0f2a] if the complainer is a member of any of main Supporters organisations, they should report it there also.

FAC is an amalgamation of the five main supporters groups, The Celtic Supporters Association, The Green Brigade, The Affiliation of Registered Celtic Supporters Clubs, The Association of Irish Celtic Supporters Clubs, and The Celtic Trust.

Once again the support for our team this season has been magnificent, none more so than at the recent Champions league match against Barcelona, which received praise from every country in Europe, hopefully we can get close to that atmosphere tomorrow night against Spartak.

Finally, Rod Stewart has a new single out on December 9[SIZE=2:bd8e0f2a]th[/SIZE:bd8e0f2a], the proceeds from “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” will be split between The Teenage Cancer Trust and The Celtic Charity Fund, please support these two very worthy causes by buying the single.

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.
