Well said that man.....
I get that us selling 12,700 tickets is a VERY good effort given our regular fan base, but I perhaps do not understand how we can take 13,000 to a League Cup Final and are (reportedly) struggling to sell same for a much more prestigious tournament and the LAST game of the season before a long summer.
I guess the dilemna is say we do meet the magical 12,700 figure by next Tuesday. If we only just manage then I suspect there may be little chance of us selling the remaining 2300 even if we have a week and a half to do so. The club will find themselves in a tricky situation potentially. Do they take the risk of asking for more and having a whole section lying empty and all the criticism that would follow not to mention the lower income.
Lets hope we get a late rush.....
I'm delighted a long time servant of our club had made a name for himself as a top coach. I hope plenty of others follow in his footsteps as it does nothing but good to our reputation as a club.
I know we've had this discussion before, but you don't need to have been a top class player to be a top class coach. Totally different skill sets.
Stevie Woods certainly hasn't been trying to blend into the background in any of the footage of the Celtic celebrations that I've seen. He's made a very good career as a goalkeeping coach out of debatable talent (I personally think there's a fair amount of selective memory involved).
