After making unilateral decisions about vastly reducing the Celtic ticket allocation from 7500 to 800 or so, and then totally withdrawing the allocation at Ibrokes, Celtic could do little, other than respond in kind.
Now it appears that the original agreement will be reinstated...... except that it won't be.
The ticket allocation will revert back to the reduced amount, and according to that Fuckwit, Stewart Robertson, that's how he envisages it being for the next couple of seasons at least.
Personally, for the sake of 800 or so tickets, at Ibrokes and Celtic having to reciprocate, is it really worth the further reduction in capacity at Celtic Park, on security grounds, and the denial of tickets to non Celtic ST holders who might otherwise relish the opportunity to attend a Derby match at CP?
Factoring in the destruction of toilets etc that the Blue Hoardes seem to revel in, is it really worth the hassle, let alone the reduced income from vacant seats?
Bearing in mind that the original decision was dreamt up by the HUNS, because they were so pissed off at being regularly horsed and riduculed by a Stand full of jubilant Celtic fans, I'd say "Fuck 'em!"
Who can forget wee Teacake tying a' Walk On scarf' to a goal post at the Broomloan end, and after our next game at their midden, 2 burley security guys being posted on the goalposts like tin sodjers to prevent a repeat?
Do 800 away fans really significantly increase the atmosphere of a match which already has electricity of thousands of Van Der Graff generators running through it?
Of course there will always be those on both sides who need their matchday fix, and are lost without a game to attend, but with the 4 Derby league matches being televised, surely the inability to attend 2 games isn't that great a hardship?
I haven't attended a match at Ibrokes since the 4-4 draw in March 1986, when we in the enclosure under the main stand were so graciously welcomed and spat upon by the knuckle draggers seated above us.
No doubt there will be others who feel differently, and have their own views, which of course they are perfectly entitled to.
