    No more seats please, in 19 homes games this year i think we got over 50k only about 6 times.
    Its bad enough seeing empty seats as it is without adding another 20,000.

    Some form of terracing, safe-standing is needed and i think its just around the corner possibly in the next 5-10 years it could happen. As far as i am aware, it wouldn't need to be a government introduced thing as i think all seater stadium is not a legal requirement in Scotland - so Celtic could push forward for this themselves.

    Nothing to do with the club really but the tickets are far too pricey. Not a chance of me going back unless it's like last season for a cup game in a decent seat.

    A good clean and makeover. Better dugouts, but I think that would take away some of either teh technical area or the seats.
    And one MAJOR thing that Celtic need to do. HAve a clean, nice water supply. The amount of times am at Celtic park with a hangover or comedown and juice just isn't the answer, good quality H20 is the ONLY thing.

    It looks like there are plans for a stunning redevelopment of the surrounding area...

    How good would this be? The area outside the Emirates is immaculate, would love it to be something like this.

    Here's a link to the entire PDF detailing the 'Celtic Triangle redevolopement' of the area around Paradise... Exciting stuff if it happens.

    http://www.glasgowcitycouncil.co.uk/committee_minutes/public/Documents/Live/Executive%20Committee/20096/1100_11_12_2009_2481_Report_Item5-%20Celtic%20FC.pdf

    The plan details this new 'Celtic Plaza', complete with new landscaping, superstore, restaurant etc... With a new 'formal approach to the stadium for arriving fans', coach parks, and thankfully a development of Janefield Street which is seriously needed.

    Great idea this. I love the brickwork facade at the front of CP I hope it stays.

    I'd settle for toilets that you can see and breathe in.
    Serious health hazard at every half time.

    All around the Stadium is getting done up and Celtic Park is having facelift but as far as re-construction goes there are no plans attached to the Commonwealth games for this ,Celtic Park part in the Commonwealth games is to open the event and thats it ,maybe down the line Celtic will do something but if there struggling to fill 60,000 seats ,whats makes people think they will sell 80,000.

    The same food as the lounge.
    I'd like extra seats, but we can't even fill 60,000.
    Ticket prices lower.
    Standing section, of around 4,000.

    What are they doing to London Road anyway? All sorts of bends where it once was straight... Is this temporary?

    I like the look of the plans. They include a new Club Museum which we really need. It would really add something to the experience of the Celtic Park tour. I visited Old Trafford in March and Barca previously was impressed by their museums but I couldn't help but think that our museum could be so much better. Sections on the formation of the club and its role in the community, the managers, the players - legends like Burns, Larsson, McGrory, Jinky, Johnny Thompson - the great teams, Celtic in Europe, the fans and the songs with pictures, medals, programs and movies. A chance to show the club off properly and show people what we stand for.

    I think the one thing that is really lacking is a good transport link to the city centre. We could do with another train station by the ground which could link to Bellgrove/Bridgeton because that walk can be a pain in the * especially in the rain... Or we could even be doing with a subway station that links straight to Buchanan Street. Its costly but it would be worth it. Do they expect the visitors from Canada/Australia etc to walk past the Bellgrove Hotel to get to the National Indoor Sports Arena? Its not really the image of Glasgow that the organisers want the world to see.

    New South Stand to make the stadium 75,000 + and the same size all the way round.

    Would be amazing.
