Just reward for a fantastic Celtic Support.

[COLOR=#000000:bd6b317b][FONT="Calibri"]Great news for the Celtic supporters with the announcement of the season tickets prices for next season. With some clubs in Scotland in turmoil, it is happy days for the Celtic supporters.

It was absolutely vital to bring back the £50 child season ticket, and next season it will be even better value because of the two extra matches against Partick Thistle, giving the young kids 19 matches for £50, plus the two free matches.

As I have already said, there are plenty of clubs in Scotland in turmoil, so I believe we have been very lucky over the years that our club has been run in a fair and honest manner, with a proper affordable business model.

Sometimes it was difficult to accept that we were no longer having marquee signings like Sutton, Hartson, and Lenny himself, but at the end of the day we have a 125 year unbroken history to be very proud of, I believe we are the only team in Britain to have played every season in the top division, and have still been very successful.

The £100 rebate to all full price adult season ticket holders is very welcome as well, at a time of the year when those with young families are juggling their disposable income to buy school uniforms etc. It will come in very handy indeed.

I sincerely hope that lots more people will take advantage of the reduced prices and buy season tickets, it will mean that you can buy an adult and two child tickets for less than £500, probably cheaper than some 2nd division teams.

I think credit is due to the Celtic Board of Directors and in particular to Peter Lawwell for coming up with the package in these times of austerity. The Celtic supporters spend more money than any other group of supporters in Scotland, we are the lifeblood of not only our own team, but of all the other teams in the SPL as well, maybe it’s time we were a bit more selfish in that respect.

I have spoken to a few people today who were considering not renewing their season tickets, I’m happy to report that every one of them have now decided to renew, and a few are taking extra tickets as well, I sincerely hope that is replicated across the whole Celtic family, we need to stand together.

So once again, congratulation to the best team in the world for winning our league once again, and congratulations to the best club in the world for rewarding their fans for their tremendous support.

Here’s to the next 125 years of unbroken successful pure inventive football.

Hail Hail.

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.
