Thats not much of an achievement though is it having seen some of their gates this season.

Yeah thats true,

Specially a big club like us taking as many fans as we do to away games.

Like Wigan leeds and Hull fc/Saints do to.

Are parking spots easy to find near the ground?

Think it will be easy enough if you look around near the ground for a parking spot.

As stated above!

You could be right there! Hope not though! Attendances have been rather disappointing this season if I'm honest. What the club did completely wrong, and it still baffles me why they did it, is that we play on Friday nights. We would benefit so much more from playing games on a Saturday or Sunday. Lots of people are working, and for those travelling from South Wales, the West Coast of Wales etc, its hard to get up to the games on a Friday night. Hopefully as we move into the summer, and if we get some more wins under our belt, attendances begin to rise again. Well, I hope!

You got a good point there mate,Saturday and sunday games will be much better ragardng more attendance.

The RFL should really look into these type,s of fixtures and think what is best for the fans.Also to benefit Clubs like crusaders,quins and catalans!

Completely agree about Friday nights. It must really hit clubs that rely on away supporters for a large proportion of their attendance due to the travelling time. I don't finish work until 7 on a Friday so I can't make it tomorrow, but would definitely have gone if the match was on a Sunday.

Can you pay on the gate or do you have to ring the ticket office?

Thinking of taking my 3 year old son to his 1st game.

You can't pay on the gate, you have to go into the club shop and buy tickets from there if it is the same as last year. How much is it to pay on the day my dad aint paying till tomorrow as only just decided to go.

Re: Celtic Tickets Away : Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:29 pm  

Rocky's wife here - it's a fiver more expensive on the gate.

My father in law has just phoned and said apparently the ticket office has been shutting at 7.30, leaving people ticket-less, and there have been loads of complaints.

I ain't 'ere, you ain't seen me, right?

Last season there was no pay on the gate, you had to queue at the ticket office to buy a ticket and then use that to gain entry.
Whilst I was at our club shop today a Wire fan who went last year said he missed the first 15 minutes of the game because the queue at the ticket office for the Wire end was so big.

So get there early and there will be no problems.
