With the news that 2,500 sevvies will be at the next derby game, can I pay tribute to the toilets servicing turnstyles 118, 119 1nd 120
They were not the most fashionable toilets but they served the club well and to see their untimely demise when these cretans descend on them is too much for this Tim to bear.
Goodbye Urinals Goodbye Basins.

Their board will be praying they don't do any damage as they will need to pay for it.

Cannot believe we are letting them back into Celtic Park after all the previous incidents and why Celtic were made to 'blink first? With nothing left for them to play for - vandalism and violence may well be their horde's only comfort.
I also appreciate there will be Celtic supporters who will want to go to the away game after the split, but we have had players and staff seriously assaulted in previous visits that would possibly merit a behind-closed-doors arrangement in any other country.

The only considerations that Celtic had to consider was the safety of Celtic fans and Celtic players . Regarding Celtic players first, I think the Board had a duty to try everything possible so that our players don’t ever have to be face the same level of verbal and physical abuse as they faced on Jan 2nd at Ibrox, when there were no Celtic fans present . Verbal abuse lasted throughout game and missiles rained down on Celtic players when taking corners and throw ins . As far as I know Rangers2012 club haven’t yet apologised.
Celtic and Rangers clubs agreed to erect safety features to protect rival fans in their stadium . H. ns have been very slow erecting the necessary netting wire, maybe the asbestos and concrete build isn’t safe enough to use to erect netting wire . Let’s hope appropriate fittings are erected before are fans enter Ibrox .
I worry is 2,000 Celtic fans in Ibrox enough to provide some protection for our fans and players from the vile obnoxious chants and throwing of objects with intention of abusing and injuring our players and fans . I would have preferred 7,000 rival fans in each stadium but Rangers couldn’t agree as their fans couldn’t bear to watch Celtic fans celebrate regular Celtic victories.
Like Timalloy I worry about the toilets getting destroyed where Sevco fans are present. In the past it hasn’t always been Sevco fans who have wrecked them,
partial Scottish Police Officers, just as crest-fallen, as H. ns fans, police officers have themselves wrecked toilets.

We have spent a lot of money sorting out safety for them. It seems when it's our fans turn to go they are just putting up netting. I will never set foot in their hovel again but no doubt many will.

Have Celtic confirmed that both grounds are 4% because we would receive 400 less away tickets?
I would be surprised if we agreed to those terms.
The police would have no problem also giving Celtic 2,400 tickets because that’s what European clubs get that can fill their Ibrox allocation.
It actually might be harder to Police only 2,000 because fans in the top tier would be closer to that away section.
Sevco fans have already made comments about throwing piss and hot drinks through the nets.
I’m expecting 2,400 tickets at Ibrox when the time comes because it will be easier for the Police to keep them at a distance.

Yes guys there was photos online today of all the extra work Celtic have did, including their own entrance and exit extra railings outside to seperate them from our fans, inside there is netting put up
At Ibrox all they did was erect some netting, no additional safety measures.

This is a bad decision which I think will backfire in quick time.
28 Feb 2025 21:15:07
I would not let sevco fans anywhere near Celtic Park.
28 Feb 2025 21:44:36
@buzz I also found it odd that we let them have 400 more seats.

Weejoe, We are the bigger club, bigger mindset and bigger stadium. It’s so unfortunate at this point in time that we have to tolerate Rangers2012 in the same league as us . it’s absolutely wrong that our players should have to tolerate been hit with objects and listen to bigoted racist chants from Rangers2012 fans Whether having a couple of thousands Celtic fans in stadium reduces the horrible behaviour of their supporters, is debatable, but we have to try to create better atmosphere.
