Res 11 -Fans resolution proposed by disabled supporters Associatiion about improving disabled fans facilities. Board recommend voting for resolution


Res 11 - Whilst disabled supporters welcome the changes in the stadium but progress has been slow

Res 11- There are 158 disabled spaces. If stadium were built today, with a 60,000 capacity the minimum requirement would be 92 more

Res 11 - IB “your message is heard and frustrations accepted” Board recommend resolution Unanimous in the room For - 64,353,641 99.98% in favour

 

Celtic Trust make point about Fans Forum - Whilst they welcome the fans forums (and trust who first suggested 2010 roadshows) They would suggest club keep them going but they are NOT in format proposed by Trust


Trust - What was agreed was a smaller meeting with representatives only. Whether someone is a member of an association is a personal decision and individual supporters are now at meetings


Trust - calling on the club to have a forum along the lines that the Trust want


Michael Nicholson now defending the forum and the format it has been delivered in

Trust - The forum is just a random group of 44 supporters who applied to a club application on the clubs website.


Michael Nicholson - feedback is that it’s important to have involvement from a wide range of supporters and not just a select elite of supporters groups

 

Brian Wilson - I do not recognise the meeting as set out by Trust. We made efforts to ensure people in attendance were from all parts of the stadium and there is a statutory invite to a representative of all supporters groups

Brian Wilson - surely only criteria is that the people in attendance are Celtic supporters who want the best for the club

Trust reply - We welcome the current format but want a smaller meeting with only reps of the fans groups present also.

 

Q1 - Why do we use Parks of Hamilton Bankier ships the question to Lawwell PL - can I answer next question please


PL - As Celtic we need to be above petty matters. In Scotland few coach carriers better than Parks. We could buy a coach and buying 1 would need 2









Michael Nicholson - Club continue to work with #Res12 people on various matters. Over 4 yrs club have written to SFA on behalf of Res12

Following conclusion of court proceedings club wrote to @ScottishFA asking for a review but were refused #Res12 SFA have referred license matter to compliance officer and club and Res12 welcome this

 

Questions neatly drying up. Ian Bankier - come on, you cannot be that happy

 

Joe o’Rourke - It wasn’t just the TIFO that got us winning fans of the year award. The TIFO was great and thanks to the Green Brigade but it was everything we do that got us nominated; Foundation, atmosphere, foodbanks, Palestinian donation












Joe - We’ve been standing alone in Scot football on EBTs, cheating and other matters. We need to find a way to make SFA do what we want “If Stewart Regan this morning told me he’d told lies I wouldn’t believe him” but we need to find a way to bring the cheats to account

 

Are you Celtic Underground?????

 

Might be.

 

Plans to develop main stand?

Not at moment, it is getting old and constantly looking at it but £30m-£40m to redevelop. Getting older and more of a priority but not immediately

 

Nope

 

Next question gets applause - I’d just like to thank Brendan and is he here for 10 in a row?


BR - I love my time here and hopefully I will be

 

How do 79 million people squeeze into a room?

 

Celtic park is a big place.

 

They could have asked that question first then everybody could have gone home.

That's all I wanted to know.
