Stadium Expansion

Is that how rationalise your behaviour so you sleep at night?

 

If only GS had my ruthless nature, then we'd rule the world.

 

I know at least three people who bought more than three books each at the start of last season , without waiting on any list and without knowing anyone on the inside

 

I was offered books too but they were either restricted view (stuck behind a 3 foot thick post) or minus the huns matches!

 

nike sponsoring a team with a stadium of 80,000 for 5million a year would be a bargain from there point of view

 

yes nike have bacially funded arsenals new stadium and all when need is a new tier, why cant they fund the new tier?

 

if you thinks it's gonnae happen , go right ahead , i won't be holding my breath

 

im not saying its going to happen but IF it was going to happen celtic would ask nike to forward there sponsporship money which would be the tune to 25million and or a share issue but i think nike would be more than happy to help celtic built a new tier

It`s a wee bit outdated (one of my points is that we could introduce a singing section) but it`s still a dream of mine to look out from my seat and see another stand rather than Hampden away in the distance.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dear NTV, [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Having read over the last few weeks about the south stand being revamped on the outside at the cost of a few million quid I was wondering why not delay for a few years and do the whole thing up completely. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My idea for the new Family stand is a mirror image of the awesome North Stand (one of the most intimidating structures in football). The top half would be set aside for the 'singing' section that fans have been asking for for years where anyone willing to sing for 90 minutes to get the rest of the crowd going would be welcome. This would improve the atmosphere for home league games which I'm sure most of us would admit are lacking the electric atmosphere that comes with European and Old Firm games. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The bottom half would be the family section. A real family section, where children would be allowed in much cheaper than they are now. The revenue through ticket sales would be higher, though, because of the increased capacity. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]One of the major problems at Celtic and at clubs up and down the country is that the next generation of Celtic fans aren't getting to the games because of the high ticket prices. I know of many fans whose children can't go because they can't afford it. If the season tickets for under 15's (or whatever) were as low as £50 then I'm sure the crowds could swell by thousands thus filling our new stand. The atmosphere created by the singing section and by kids (who always sing regardless) would pick up the crowd and turn Parkhead into the monster it could be for all our games. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Over the years this new stand would pay for itself. This would also improve the facilities a million times over and get us this 5 star rating we require for big tournament finals. Of course there are complications to consider but I'm not getting paid for this so someone else can work it out. It would also mean that Celtic would have a new generation of fans ready to pay their bills as soon as they can(t) afford to. [/FONT]

Any reply?

 

No. It was printed but no one that I can think of replied directly to it. I sent to off to Celtic as well but got nothing back. The usual really

 

if celtic were to expand the stadium,they would have to close the part of the stadium that is being expanded, so if it takes 2/3 years to build think of the people who already sit there andthe revenue celtic would lose while its being built, so i think u can forget about expanding anything

 

I was taking a friend from the U.s on the tour of cp..and I asked then are they thinking of expanding the s/s..and I was told that plans were there to expand and change the front of the facade to a glass structure...and I was also told that it had been shelved...and that was 2 1/2 years ago.

 

The main stand was desingned to be expanded.......wheater that happens or not is a different matter, but hopefully it does
