Boycott the Europa League games

Maybe mate. Maybe not though. We can only do our bit as season ticket holders and hope others follow. No point second guessing what non season ticket holders might do.

 

It'll make absolutely NO DIFFERENCE to do that... It's unlikely to make anything other than the tiniest ripple, it'll unsettle the team and the board will bank the money and then put out OFFICIAL figures that include the tickets sold, not arses in seats, and it'll be almost invisible that any protest occurred...

 

It's a tough ask, but I would say, don't boycott the Europa league just ignore it.

That goes for here as well. From now on post * all abput it

 

What do you mean?

How us not discussing the Europa League make one bit of difference to the Celtic Board

 

Because he’s on the Celtic board


Probably voted no in that other thread

 

We could and should have been in the CL, the europa is not an acceptable alternative. Just ignore it

 

The Celtic Supporters thank the Club for conveying the prices of their Europa League tickets.

The Fans take the Club's offer extremely seriously, and the Fans understand the disaster and embarrassment which has arisen. We are listening to the views expressed by our Club, welcome dialogue and we are always willing to learn prices. The Fans are committed to engagement with Club, and we will work hard to address the disaster and embarrassment that has led to the need to sell Europa League tickets.

Achieving success on the field of play underpins everything we do. The Fans strategy over many years has been dedicated to that objective, and we will always strive to achieve it. Celtic supporters play an integral part in the success of the Club, and we are committed to delivering success for it.

Transfer activity attracts enormous attention and speculation, particularly across social media, and the mainstream media has commoditised the transfer window in its relentless search for content. In connection with Celtic, we recognise that debate around this subject reflects the hard work of the Club not to turn it into an embarrassment and shambles. Unfortunately, as is often the case, it did.

It is clear, from our meetings with Club representatives, that supporters seek clarity. We would, therefore, like to address several key points directly.

We are ambitious for Celtic. Our shared objective is football success - to succeed in Scotland and to compete in the Champions League. Not the Europa League. The Fans must adhere to our self-sustaining model: to protect our present and secure our future. The Club’s model has been developed and applied over many years, to rob the fans at every turn ensuring their pockets are full and ours empty. During that period the Club has enjoyed a sustained period of success and growth but has given nothing back.

Further, the Fans model is not optional – it is now essential as a consequence of the Club failing to Qualify for the Champions League to spend our money on Europa League tickets. Importantly, the Fans cash reserves are not for buying whatever tickets become available. Therefore, all investment decisions must be, and are, guided by responsible forecasts of future success, which by the Clubs nature is volatile. You can never compromise the integrity of the Fans. In short, throwing money at Europa League tickets is not a sustainable route to success.

Over many years, management of the Club’s model allowed the Fans to remain on side and to build strong cash reserves but that has changed. The cash reserves reflected in your accounts exist for the continuous improvement of Celtic Football Club and not to line directors pockets. These funds have not been used in a measured fashion for investment in recruitment, infrastructure or long-term development.

Unfortunately, Europa League tickets are not always of interest to the Fans. There are many factors and challenges at play in the global financial market. It is not always possible to purchase tickets on the back of monumental failure, and that is regrettable.

We thank Celtic, the Club for their unmatched passion and commitment to selling these Tickets. We all share the same ambition: to see Celtic succeed on the pitch while remaining strong and secure off it. We hope this statement provides clarity about our Ticket purchasing policy and reassurance of our unwavering dedication to Celtic’s short, medium and long-term success.

 

Will negotiate a price for the tickets right up to the deadline, fail then likely just go see St Rochs

 

I hope they get record low attendances for these Europa League games.

 

Not a single season ticket holder should be buying them, you can't begrudge non season ticket holders though since they are unable to get tickets for many games really though.

But it needs to be under 30,000, hopefully closer to 15,000.

 

Yeah thats a good point, hoping many of them just decide against it though.

 

can’t speak for everyone of course, but after speaking to many members of the 4 biggest supporters clubs in Belfast, we are all in agreement, no uptake of Europa tickets, no buses or boats booked, giving up 2 days work for a board that gives nothing but contempt, never again till we all see change.

 

My favourite was this. “Aye nae bother you’ll take £20 and that’ll be it then. That’s how it’s done right?” Hahahah

 

Who gets the money for away games? The home club or do we get a cut?

 

I want the fans to support the team. Boycott merch, Celtic TV etc.

I would have said the home team only but I’m not 100% on that.
