Stadium Re-Development....A Good Idea? or Not?

Supply issues aren’t that bad, longer wait times and so * expensive but you get them still.

 

See if they would just paint those * stantions hovering above the roof, that’d be great…

 

As was I budd haha (lots get lost in translation on boards)

 

Look at you working for the devil.

 

pointless spending millions just so more fans can get (old firm) tickets.

 

You’ll need a name change in a couple weeks again for this mate

 

Said in jest but that’s my thoughts, don’t want normal games in an empty stadium to trade in for more in the big ones.

Don’t want big games being easy to get a ticket as well, won’t have the same buzz if it’s a canter to be there.

Look at what Juve done, new stadium they downgraded in capacity, and had far more atmosphere because of it.

 

I would skeptical that we could fill an expanded stadium for games against the likes of Ross County and St Mirren as things are at the moment, however, even in the real world where this is never gonna happen, there should be a conversation about ticket prices. All clubs are putting prices up as costs increase, but no-one seems to be suggesting that lowering prices could bring more people in to games, offsetting any reduction in ticketing profits. Plus, more punters means more food and drink sold, more paradise windfall tickets etc. Think this'd have to be done if there were any stadium upgrades.

 

I think if this was to be done I have seen a lot of suggestions that a good chunk of any additional capacity would be corporate, which there is a belief that it could be sold and come with a decent premium.

Overall it would come down to prioritisation as although we are in a fair to good financial position doing big projects like stadium redevelopment or the Barrowfield upgrade all have big prices and those prices of late have got even more ridiculous due to the cost of materials and supplies.

We are also in the middle of a big project in transforming our squad since last summer. Yes to date that has been funded by transfer sales and there is a surplus in that department last year. It should also have grown from add ons in the Christie, Ajer and Edouard deals and the sell ons for Frimpong, Dembele and Tierney which may come in to play this summer. However, to stand still we had around £13.5m to spend to make Maeda, Jota and CCV permanent deals.

There aren’t many players we will get a good fee for this summer so I am hoping for our spend to be higher than our sales(inc add ons) this season for the first time since Rodgers 16/17 season.

My view on stadium redevelopment and the Barrowfield project is that these things should be funded by leveraging our wealthy shareholders with share issues or at least partly funded by this.

The majority of the cash at the club which has been generated through transfer activity should be for football related matters.

 

Maybe they're just going to put up a big sign advising the huns not to drink out of the bogs next time they come to Parkhead as civilised people use them to jobby and pish in.

 

Scenes when that’s how we announce their signing.

pls

 

The club should do a fun day round celtic park for the unveiling. Green and White coloured carousels with folk riding Maeda instead of horses. A big wheel that's just a CCV's heed. Hook a Kyogo, every Kyogo wins a prize. A wee Jota Themed rollercoaster, wee flicks and tricks at every turn.

 

I would like to see a transparent roof in celtic Park. Similar to St James Park. It would add a lot of light to the match day experience for everyone in the top tier.

 

Pretty sure Roman and Milan or Napoli are thinking of doing the same with new stadiums as well.

Generally speaking obviously, but 40,000 people in a 40,000 seater makes for a better atmosphere than 50,000 in an 80,000 seater.

 

Milan have been talking about it for ages I’m sure, San Siro is ridiculous.

 

Many a Tim worked on Ibrox. There are blessed crucifixes under the stands.

 

Italy bidding for 2030 World Cup I think it is so would imagine there’ll be a load of stadiums financed for that if they get it.
