How about a poll Ed, should Celtic invest money in infrastructure at Parkhead or spend the money on the team?

Celtic money poll

Spending money on players doesn't guarantee success unless you are spending money like PSG.
Spending money on a decent coach was tge best signing we ever made. Brendan has turned average players i to top players and our football style has an identity and a putpose for the first time in years. Team almost reminds me of what Tommy Burns tried to achieve all tgem years ago.

Building a hotel/ museum if great but I think the south stand is a priority as it needs major upgrade as it's embarrassing that a tent has to be put up on champions league match days outside the ground for media interviews. Celtic have done so much to improve the area and facilities but the south stand is a joke for facilities.
{Ed007's Note - But we need a CB don't we? Why would we waste money on upgrading the stadium when the team's apparently not good enough?}

I'm 100% for developing the area around Parkhead. With a new Hotel and possible capacity extension, it will boost the appeal for hosting big games like a CL final. It also provides new revenue otherwise untapped. All this is great news as long as the team doesn't suffer because of it.

In football terms we need a lot more than just a CB to progress, but don't you think the south stand is antiquated in comparison to the rest of the ground?
{Ed007's Note - I was being flippant after reading some of the posts, Jim. I do think the South Stand needs upgrading (changing rooms, opposition arrival area and press area etc) but I wouldn't be keen on increasing the capacity as there would be a lot of empty spaces when we are playing smaller teams.
Wait until we are, hopefully, in the EL after Christmas and see the attendance at that, remember there's a lot of supporters and posters who don't think we should be playing in the EL and that if it's not the CL it's a waste of time.}

How can really positive news be spun into a negative by some of our fans it does ma head in look at the celtic way by some on here that was a waste of money.

Don't understand the not wanting to play in the el. it let's us develop in euro terms . gives extra income and a few good nights. also a run keeps us in the view of the football world for future signings. on the stadium transfer issue why can't and shoudnt we be doing both.
{Ed007's Note - Just look back through the site from when we were in the EL and see how some people spoke about it and look at the attendances at the matches.}
