Any advice?

Right bhoys and ghirls,
Me and a mate are travelling up for the home game against Hamilton on 22nd of Feb.It'll be our first time up to Celtic Park and we can't wait!!
Just wondering where we should get tickets for.We want to sit fairly close to the GB.
Also,we're making a weekend of it so we're travelling up early on the Saturday and doing the stadium tour.Anyone have and suggestions on where to go during the night? Got a follow from The Cellar the other day and that looks really good,anybody been?
Anyone have any recommendations on where to go before the match?

 

Just get as close to 111 as you can mate... 112 or 110

As for your nightlife, depends what you're looking for

Plenty of pubs around Celtic Park you can go to beforehand. London Road, near the ground called "The real McCoy" Gets quite busy in there mate. And if you don't like it, there's plenty pubs around it.

 

is that the new name on london rd tavern?

 

Aye mate.

 

Cheers mate
Yeah,should have said what we'd be looking for during the night.Dont fancy any clubs really,more bars with a rock vibe or somewhere to hear a few rebel tunes.

 

seen some pictures now, * didnt know that london road tavern is gone many good memories from there, no celtic memorabilia at all now? just a poshy restaurant?

 

They still stick the cds on, on match day mate. So much and such the same.

I drink in the paradise bar up on tollcross anyway... the old bowlers rest.

 

Down the gallowgate for rebel tunes. Won't get any in the city centre mate for obvious reasons.

 

Thanks mate.We'll head up there then

 

If you fancy rock bars - rufus t firefly on hope st (beside central), slouch on bath st and the howling wolf on bath st which is more blues. Latter two are near charing cross train station

 

Thanks man.We'll check them out before we go up the gallowgate
Are they close to George Square?thats where we'll be staying.
Also,I've read either on here or twitter that there's a decent shop in the city centre that sells rebel cd's,tshirts,flags etc.Could anyone tell me whereabouts it is?

 

I've never been to any of them during the day but they'll be busy at night. Rufus is about a 10 minute walk, slouch is right up the top of bath st, probably about 15 minutes and howling wolf is further down bath st so about 10 minutes. Bath st is parallel to sauchiehall st if you know that, just a big long straight road

 

Timland? on the gallowgate at the barras, across the road from where Bairds used to be. About a 10 minute walk from George Square.

 

Thanks a lot mate,really appreciate it!
Great that they're not far from us

 

That's the place,cheers mate
Will be sure to visit

 

If it is not tacky Celtic rubbish you are looking for, then Calton Books on London Road is where you want to head:

http://www.calton-books.co.uk/

 

You'll get a good choice of rebel CD's, t-shirts, flags, badges, scarfs etc in the Carde shop which is opposite Bar67 on the Gallowgate.

The wee stall at the Barra's also opposite Bar67 has a decent range also and you can also try Carlton Books on the London Road. Just cut through the Barra's and turn right, CB is just past the old Foggy Dew pub.

The GB also sell merchandise at the London Road Celtic Supporters Club a 5 minute walk from the stadium.

 

Cheers lads,much appreciated.Plenty of places to go now so I'm made up

 

Just over a week to go...can't wait.
One more thing,we both love the away (tartan style) top but it's still £45 from the official store.Just wondering if we can get it somewhere cheaper in town?by the ground?
Don't want to sound like a cheapskate,just don't fancy paying that much for it.we both have the home top like,would just like to get the away when up there.
Also,anywhere to get the kids kits cheaper?

 

Probably better looking online somewhere
