Celtic fans are furious with Motherwell for going back on a promise to slash ticket prices for games involving the Old Firm, reports the Daily Mail.
After a disastrous trial run against Rangers in November saw Motherwell lose £25,000 in ticket receipts, the club have now reverted to previous prices.
Celtic fans are now not impressed they will have to shell out £10 more than supporters of Rangers paid to visit the same ground two months ago.
I admit the ticket prices are shocking but motherwell done a trial period that just so happened to be with rangers, now celtic think its a personal old firm thing that rangers get in cheeper ! then, i'm guessing that they realised they couldn't live on what they got for that game if they got it every week, And take note Rustic, that this is not against you but for F**k sake, take that first comment (above) by the daily mailfor example, they are 'furious' that they need to shell out a tenner more at ONE GAME that nobody is forcing them to go to ! i mean, i'll admit, my dad is kind enough to take me to the footie and pay for me and i'm not paying and when i am paying it'll probably be a diferant story but celtic clearly have enough money to slash prices where as mwell cant do it like that or the club will suffer.
The main point of my post is to say that i think celtic fans are over-reacting to the situation a bit...
