    I thought they didnt do walking away?

    We sold more season tickets the season they done 9 in a row as well than they did in any season in the lower Leagues even though Celtic Park held less people than Ibrox that season.

    No. And don’t dilute your original point to appease my displeasure. England as a majority couldn’t give a toss about us, although we do have a serious amount of fans who travel regularly and a few who post on here. Crazy amount of hoops in London, Liverpool, Manchester, North East and at one time Birmingham No1 we’re bringing up to five buses. I also believe that the majority of English people are non political and so would have no support or opinion on the Irish struggle. Only swayed maybe by a report on BBC. But I know from experience that throughout the 70s and 80s there were small Provo sleeper cells throughout most cities in the UK. * even the INLA acknowledge a serving unit currently in moss side Manchester.
    I also think that you a playing the royal card to heavily when a majority think they are outdated and a drain on the state. Yes they have gained a bit more respect on the back of Diana but to hate Germans because of two wars and support a rich blooded German hierarchy ruling your nation is just ridiculous.
    As for Lee Rigsby song, you have saw the few minutes of footage on YouTube and no doubt has been sung a few times by a very small minority. Any fans I’ve discussed this with is totally against it and do not condone it, this is why it is not widely sang. I do feel annoyed that the Rigsby family are being trailed into a laughing stock side show at Ibrox where allegedly the last collection for Lee was a big bit short.
    You surely know that we do have a big travelling support that come from Ireland every game and have family connections in Glasgow and also the generations of Scots Irish who have been in support of the Irish struggle and ceasefire that thankfully arrived in 1995. But alas as a Celtic regular you are only hearing pro IRA songs and songs glorifying the death some kid that was beheaded on his way to work. And for me I’d imagine you’d be in a small minority who is a staunch royalist and look upon a murderous British regime as heroes. I have no problems with that. Each to their own. But just remember next time you sing Grace or Fields of Athenry these are Irish ballads, with only death mentioned is upon Irish men. Is that so offensive that you can’t acknowledge the terrible wrongs you can’t put right. And while you stand shoulder to shoulder with your fellow fans, just remember your terrorists are our freedom fighters.

    Aye I know as I had one of them, I believe the season before was when they started selling season tickets for the new stands and obviously the clamour was frantic, again you seem to choose random seasons to suit your unobjective stance backing up the belief that you can prove anything with statistics, a bit like pretending your "the most successful club in the world" based on selective info.

    Brilliant post Packy..

    I wouldn't even waste anything else on him though. He's so blinkered and full of * it's untrue..

    He doesn't give a * if we're hated in England though and will continue to sing the rebs :rofl:

    We're they no giving out loads of tickets at Asda or something at the time. I'm sure I haven't just made that up but someone can correct me if I'm wrong..

    They did stick with them due to a sense of everyone was against them and loyal stick together attitude that they were brought up on, but multiplied when they had their club die. Still i believe it was vastly exaggerated that it was sell out after sell out every week..

    The only genuine sell outs with all seats taken are the Glasgow derby at each ground, our CL games, and the odd one against Hibs or a trophy day, other than that irrespective of the attendance figure there are always heaps of empty seats at both places, especially midweek league games

    Your war dead pal.

    Anyone that can't understand or appreciate the complexities of Celtic fans and our views on the british army is a * idiot.

    That doesn't mean every Celtic should think the same about the issue or act in the same manner. As I say every November everybody is entitled to their opinion and to act in accordance with their conscience.

    It would indeed be an incredible thing if Asda were handing out sevco season books, can't remember that but I pray it's true

    The only time I recall tickets being given away up here by us or them was them the last two seasons they were in the CL. They were giving free tickets to the army mind and yet they still couldnt fill the stadium.

    Who cares whether people outside of it and who are totally disconnected to it understand or accept/disagree with the reasons.

    I actually find your comments disrespectful to the Irish ancestry which most of us are proud to sing about and celebrate.

    Shove your apologist, bed wetting * spiel up your dung hatch ya *.

    Most english people of my age or younger know absolutely nothing about irish politics and see us and rangers as a catholic protestant thing. It does confuse them why religion is involved in football. Some get schooled on the basics of british imperialism and how they've also done it in places like africa with different tribes.
