    Realistically, nothing will happen. We have too many gullible/desperate supporters waiting in the wings for someone to cancel their season tickets. Always another person who will buy the merch. Always another "support the team" pleb.

    We're stuck in a grim repetitive loop. Its going to take old age, deaths in the boardroom for any change to occur.

    Msp's need petitioned to look into Desmonds finances, fit and proper etc, as well as looking at other board members and the corporate governance at the club. Missing shares, bonus structures etc.

    We also need to go after their businesses as well.

    Many of Desmonds lackies wouldn't be sitting with their feet up on our boardroom table if being there meant a forensic examination of their holdings and accounts, personal or professional.

    This is the way forward for me.

    These * fear nothing, except a light wallet.

    I understand that many people are angry to the point of violence and vandalism. But Lawell has been verbally accosted in the street countless times. Hes been the subject of banners, chants and a sustained campaign by the GB.
    Christ, some zoomer even tried to burn his * house down; he STILL waltzed back into the club and put the kettle on, like he'd been on a weekend break to Magaluf and had his pole waxed by Helen of Troy ffs.

    Only the threat of losing their livelihoods and holdings will see these * slink off to ply their cons elsewhere.

    I don't want the package but it only hurts my CSC. We've a small CSC and basically need bums on seats so that coach and bus can be paid for. And if I don't go they will just sell my seat to someone else. So hurts us as fans.
    I will not be buying anything from Celtic, from the superstore to the kiosks. But that won't make a difference as the families who go still will.
    I sit close enough to the board so thought about a wee * you banner at the next home match, then I'll probably get barred from the stadium

    I plan on booking the tee time before Desmond everywhere he goes for the foreseeable future and leaving the flag out the hole on every green.

    That will show the *.

    So enlighten me, then: apart from personally putting this board under pressure, what else is going to work?

    It's impossible but I'd say complete radio silence from fans in engaging with anything Celtic related.

    No attending any games.

    No engaging with social media

    No merch

    No show AGM

    No CSC or Ultras statements,

    No social media content from celtic fan channles like 20 minute tims, acsom, Ryan118, The Celtic Way you know the lot.

    Then just have a rolling stock of efficiency outside the club burning.

    See this, ‘I’m not buying anything’ a it won’t work. For every one of you who refuse, there is a compliant happy clapper who will take your seat, buy a shirt, or whatever.

    What matters is personal presence. Get down the stadium - every day, not just match days.

    Find out where the board members live, where they play golf, etc, and show up, and peacefully but vocally protest on their home turf and at their places of leisure.

    They need to feel under pressure. They need to know that this discontent and anger is not going away.

    A few folk I know have cancelled their direct debit for the HCTS, and Celtic TV.

    A small gesture but every little helps.

    The only way this changes is, the mismanage us that bad we drop like a stone and the Zombies dominate for years.

    Our value goes down and someone comes in to buy us.

    At the moment we are one of the best run businesses regarding off the field investment in the country (UK)

    DD and co will want a Pretty penny for their shares and investors need to see a return on that investment or we get a fan who has * loads of money that will take over.

    I just don’t see this happening any other way unless we get a mad * with money who wants to buy us and doesn’t mind losses regarding the investment.

    I’ve cancelled my Celtic TV today.

    I was buying kits again but didn’t do it this summer used the gate instead and will be doing that for the foreseeable

    I think the biggest impact would be cancelling HCTS across board and at the league games either a walk out or chant sack the board for 90mins.

    I * hate this * though cause the team have done * all wrong, they still deserve our support and they are the ones struggling due losing some of our best players and not being replaced. Plus a manager so stubborn in his ways.

    Use the gate to get strips, don’t give them * a penny

    I think the first major step is the fan groups, fan media coming together in unison and making their feelings and the majority of the supporters feelings known and organising some sort of protest against the board before the next home game.

    Be outside the ground well before kick off as these * in suits enter the ground for their prawn sandwiches and make our feelings known, give the team the full loud backing for 90 mins with whatever anti board banners they wish to present and then revert to protests once the games over.

    You can say "* you!" without actually saying it mate... You can give them a bollocking without breaking laws... They WANT the fans frustrated enough that they can eject them... Don't give them what they want!

    The season tickets yeah, the Europa passes I'm not so sure, even if we fail to sell 10k of them that's probably £1.5m gone. And the people who will buy shirts no matter what won't buy extra if the rest of us don't buy.

    You won’t need to boycott anything. People will switch off from Celtic out of sheer boredom and disillusion.
