    I've never ran anything like a fan club or similar. Now where I'm living I have started noticing a proliferation of Celtic tops being worn by the locals. The thought ocurred .... why not try and start a fan club? For fun to start with (see how it goes) then for financial gain to start making trips back to Paradise with the members.
    One question...... HOW? I'm sure there must be loads of conveners and founders of clubs here who could give me a few pointers.
    All advice accepted. YIC.

    Tried that for myself but whenever Chelsea play then they show Petr Čech and when Arsenal are on they show Rosicky! So I could never guarantee the game so it would end up looking mickey mouse.

    The best thing to do pal is to find a base for the club (ideally a pub with the games on) I live in Peterborough and were in the process of starting 1 up here we have at 30 people at every game thats on in the pub, and at the back theres a meeting room, function room etc so its definately a prime location for ourselves!
    Correct me if im wrong here guys but i think you have to apply to Celticfc directly for starting a supporters club up? Good luck anyway mate i really hope you achieve it!

    Lennon18. Thanks a lot for that. I thought I would start unofficially then go to Celticfc thereafter to become legit. Even so, who would you write to at CP, Public Relations or what?

    I've not called Celtic yet but the link McNaka gave me is spot on but you already need to have the club up and winning before joining (obviously). There is however, some great info on how to run it, hints and tips. So basically I just need to find a willing boozer that will showthe Bhoys on SPORT 1, which had the SPL last year,
    I aslo need to find a pub that has Polish TV (quite common here) cos Artur is always broadcast on Euro nights over the border and we can pick up the channel.
    So all in all I've got a few new ideas and fortunately some contacts on the pub front. Just need to do some advertising off my own back.
    You guys have been very helpful and any more tips appreciated. Hail Hail.

    we dont get any scottish fitba in nz mate so we just use channel67 to watch all our games, so if your are struggling to get the games on a tv channel you could also look into setting that up.

    good luck
