    We all know it's wrong to cheat the club or anyone else mate....But the club is always telling us that we are all part of the Celtic family.......Would they turn away a family member who was in need?.....Surely the club was founded to help the poor...No?.....Have the club changed it's views then?:86:

    Do all you greetin' moaners not have any romance in your soul at all? It's like your hearts are made of stone and your faces are made of pound notes.

    I reckon we should all start a poll here. Who has sneaked into at least one Celtic game?

    I reckon all the guys who went to the old stadium have :icon_mrgreen:

    Me and two of my mates done it when I was about 14 that's about it though, I'd rather everyone payed the money to get in but it's going to happen in a 60,000 seated stadium an odd few will be in illegally.

    I sneaked in to the new one when I was wee and I remember the day we stopped ten in a row there must have been about 3 to a seat all over the stadium and it was the most amazing atmosphere ever. I paid for my ticket at that game and had a couple of 'seat thiefs':rolleyes: squeezing in to my space, but who cares when we just stopped ten in a row:icon_mrgreen:

    We were all there to see The Famous Glasgow Celtic win the league and I'm glad that all the kids who couldn't get a ticket for the day we stopped the manky mob getting ten in a row got to see Larsson, Brattbakk and Wim create history:huddle::62::60:

    Kind of agree with you here, if you arn't sitting on someone elses seat, the club isn't losing out in any cash when you skip in, unless you get the * and end up using 2 rolls of bog paper at half time.

    When i used to skip in, i still used to buy grub at half time with the couple of quid that i had, i assume you probly done the same, so the club is still making a wee profit of us :84:

    Would love to see this guy, would be an awsome SuperHero/Bad Guy, he could parade SPL stadiums looking for folk skipping in and if he caught them, he would send him to azkiban for a life of giving head to Lord Voldemort.

    When i first started watching celtic games with my father back in the early 70s it was pretty much tradition that the kids were lifted over the turnstiles in fact i would estimate that on average there must have been about 2 to 3,000 kids who got in this way and they would be all down at front of the terracing whilst there dads stood in the same place on the terracing every week so you alway's knew where he was.

    When i got older i used to take my nephew and lift him over in the same way my dad did with me of course i pay for my ticket nowaday's but i dont havee a problem with anyone who take their young kids to games without a ticket in fact at some games i feel celtic should operate a policy of kid's under 8 should get in free accompanied by a paying * as these kids are the future generation of celtic supporter's and unless we get them to game's instead of watching on television they will not experience the thrill of watching game's live and the whole matchday experience of celtic park and i am sure that any money money lost through giving them free entry would be recouped through selling more match programme's,catering and merchandise etc.

    Exactly mate.....back in the day skipping into CP or getting a lift-oo'er was a right of passage for young Tic fans.....I bet that everyone of those kids who skipped in or got a lift have paid into CP everytime in adulthood and bought numerous items of Celtic merchandise over the years...their kids too!.....Anyway the debate these days should be aboot fans skippin oot...no in!!....People leaving 15-20 minutes early during games. :87::84:

    Nothing against it until some wee * is sitting in my seat I've held for 13 years.lol.
    Very rare these days though, the turnstiles have changed in my stand a few years back to the high style, bit narrower as well.

    Never sneaked into parkhead, didn't think it was possible now.
    I did sneak into Falkirk away a couple of years ago, easiest thing you can ever do :56:
    Just hop the wall and your in no bother.

    I don't see what's romantic about sneaking into a Celtic match without paying. If every Celtic fan in Scotland who couldn't get or afford a ticket tried that it would be chaos.

    It is totally out of order imo for an * to be trying that and there is no need for kids to be doing it either as season ticket prices for kids at Celtic Park are very reasonable these days.

    Sorry if I sound like some sort of stone hearted ogre but that's the way I see it. I am * skint but there is no way I would every try sneaking into a game. If I don't have the money or the match sells out before I can get a ticket then I don't go, end of story.
