New SPL deal

Postby mickybhoy76 » Thu Jul 16, 2009 7:14 pm

is it just me or is there anyone else out there that can't believe that we're gonna have to fork out for TWO subscriptions to watch Celtic games?!

i'm not rolling in money and while i try and get to as many games as possible, i could just about afford to keep a setanta subscription, i can't afford £27 per month to pay for Sky Sports and ESPN! i'm pretty sure there are many more in this position but the silence seems to be deafening!

I e-mailed the SPL regarding my concerns as these rumours started and got a two lined response to say my comments have been noted.

i'm really :pissed-off: about it all, especially as its just blatently obvious that the SPL don't care who they fleece to make money

Its an absolute disgrace mate, once again the SPL have showen they couldn't run a p**s up in a brewry and dont think about the supporters.

Maybe not getting a deal would have been bad but at least we would have got games back to saturday at 3pm.

Even a saturday night is not as bad. Sunday games are an absolute nightmare.

Im not a fan of John Reid but fair play to him for coming out with his statement attacking the deal.

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.
