Last season witnessed a revolution at Celtic Park, as the Green Brigade and Bhoys Celtic combined forces in the Jock Stein Stand to create what fans affectionately dubbed the ‘Celtic End’.
The electrifying wall of noise not only galvanised the players on the pitch but also the thousands of spectators in the stand. While the idea was initially trialled during the women’s matches, it didn’t take long for it to capture the hearts of many with the plan to make this permanent for all matches.
According to the North Curve’s Newsletter, the club has stated that they are “unable to facilitate further trials of the Celtic End”. The reason for this decision remains undisclosed, leading to a cacophony of questions and concerns among the club’s loyal fanbase.
The experiment with the Celtic End aimed to invigorate the matchday atmosphere, making it more engaging and electric for both players and fans. And by many accounts, it was a roaring success.
Excellent news.
Not everyone wants the IRA songs and pyros to extend further. About time the GB wings were clipped.
Perhaps season ticket holders in that area-many who will have been there for years-did not wish to give up their seats to accommodate the casuals. Quite right too.
Hail Hail.
I’m not sure this idea can go anywhere as there is Executive seats and lounge at the rear of this area.
Think you will find that most fan’s that sit in Jock Stein stand in these seats have no intension of moving. Some have already been moved when the green brigade took over the North East corner, you cannot just keep moving people to suit them. Also would it not be easier to expand the section next to where they are now in Lisbon Lion stand as you would have to move thousand’s of rail seat don’t see board wanting to spend money on this.
The Green Brigade prevent Parkhead from sounding like a library.
All seating was a Thatcher government dragnet approach to solving English National teams supporters taste for hooliganism.
Thatcher couldn`t control the hooligans so a scheming plan was set in place which would lead to a new security state broom sweeping through football stadiums.
To achieve this the old masonic hegelian dialect trickery approach was the preferred option.
The Govt create the problem and then the Govt will provide the solution.
Sounds familiar to the last three years eh?
Hillsborough 1989 was a set up by the establishment to sacrifice as many as possible Liverpool fans on the Hillsborough altar.
Ask anyone in Liverpool they`ll tell you the same.
May God love the innocent 97 souls and their broken families.
97 innocent souls sacrificed to allow Thatcher to seat every football stadium.
Standing on terraces was never unsafe as far as I recall, but that`s not the point.
The point is, a Govt psyop was carried out on innocent football fans at Hillsborough 1989 which would be entirely backed by the entire media all screaming for all seating, and a stick with which to get rid of the old Celtic board and replace them with “business” men, an executive of succulent lambs who give Celtic fans addresses to the establishment.
Comrades all eh.
Anyway.
The Kelly`s and White`s were certainly no angels, BUT, was it they`re fault that Thatcher`s Government pulled off a psyop which killed 97 innocent Liverpool fans all to bring in a security state through the back doors of football clubs?
Also, the Kelly and White board allowed almost 40% of the crowd to be lifted over the turnstiles “for free” and then the old board were then accused by Celtic fans on blogs who rewrite the history books insinuating that the old board pocketed monies which they were never in receipt of, maybe its an underhand campaign to make the PLC “business” men look good?
Football stadia needs to be rid of these `Thatcher Trap` all seating arrangements especially when Liverpool fans who visited Parkhead to see the newly built `safe standing` area a few years back and they were of a mind that seats were over reach from a floundering Thatcher Government.
I agree.
We need a new Jungle, Stretford End and Kop etc, built again and `safe standing` is a pencil pushers gimmick, standing was never unsafe, apart from when it was deliberately made unsafe by Thatcher`s Government officers at Hillsborough 1989.
All seating also makes fans lazy.
If we were told in 1994 that we`ll have a 60,000 all seated family section, how many fans would have bought into the idea?
If as some fans seem to want, the removal of the Green Brigade, then that is what Parkhead will become.
A 60,000 all seated family section is no no no from me.
May the Green Brigade`s flag fly high on a new Jungle roof.
