1. Play entertaining football – Be honest it’s pretty desperate far too often. We tried a midfield diamond away to Hearts and Motherwell and played terrific football before reverting back to 4-2-3-1. Why? We aren\u2019t playing in the Champions League. Don’t start Sami and Jamesy until they merit a place on form or when others don’t perform rather than them being guaranteed starters. Earn a place. We don’t need 5 in midfield tor the SPL. Take the chains off the players and allow them to express themselves playing attacking football with players high up the pitch, overlapping fullbacks and one protecting midfielder. Be imaginative. We have an incredible financial advantage over the other SPFL teams. Sure we\u2019ll have the odd poor game but this shouldn\u2019t be the case as often as at present. If we lose 2 goals so what? Let’s score 3 or 4 or 5. Cavalier football. It\u2019s the Celtic Way\u2026.<\/p>\n
2. Celtic Park stewards \u2013 Tell them and their boss Ronnie Hawthorne to behave and wind their necks in. Their behaviour at times is appalling. Picking on teenagers for standing up and trying to bring an atmosphere to the CP morgue (see crap fitba above!). Unless they are battering someone over the head with a wine bottle or being neds let them be.<\/p>\n
3. The Green Brigade – Get their dedicated section up and running again. Only a fool would deny they have been a breath of fresh air at CP. Without them it’s a morgue (see point 2) and more of a morgue when the football on offer is poor (see point 1). Work with them and embrace a major asset. Just can’t get enough, the lonesome boatman, Glasgow’s Green and White, 125 years tifo v Barca, 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Absolutely bloody stunning. Aye they are rough round the edges, aye they like their politics like most of our support but they are ultras for goodness sake not school prefects! They should ditch the pyro at CP but for goodness sake work with them and stand up for the fans rights.<\/p>\n
4. Offensive Behaviour Bill – We know some on the PLC played a central role in this primarily working with Stephen House who has driven this ridiculous bill through with the support of the Scottish Government. Time to now work to remove it from the statute. It creates division with our support as it’s an abomination of their liberties. You called it wrong now work with House and Salmond to change at earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n
5. Academy players – Give youth players a run in the team to prove themselves. League is guaranteed. Let’s see the best of them (Henderson, Findlay, Johnstone, Atajic) given a start of two to three games (not necessarily at the same time) to see what they can do. These kids have dominated the youth system in Scotland for years regularly beating the best Dundee United\u2019s much heralded academy has to offer, There\u2019s a very strong chance that some of our players are even better than theirs\u2026…<\/p>\n
6. Young \u2018Projects\u2019 – Why aren’t these guys given a chance to prove themselves? Rogic? Balde? Give them a chance rather than same old faces doing predictable things. If it doesn’t work out then sell them or move them on. It’s not as if we are going to lose the league and who knows, we might just might have one or two players on our hands!<\/p>\n
7 Reduce ticket prices – Sure season ticket prices were reduced by \u00a3100 but they were way overpriced for years. \u00a3300 at maximum for an adult with the kid\u2019s season ticket free. It\u2019s \u00a350 just now, Reduce and make up the revenues elsewhere with smarter marketing. Also offer cheaper day tickets. \u00a315 for most domestic games with a top price of \u00a320. The days of season tickets being a must are gone for now. They must be given an incentive to renew ST\u2019s as it\u2019s guaranteed revenue. Offer domestic cup games and Euro qualifiers on the ST\u2019s and access to all U20 youth team games for free.<\/p>\n
8. Stadium catering \u2013 Provide better quality affordable food, not crap pies at way overinflated prices. It\u2019s 2014 now (almost!) so start acting like it is and not the 1970\u2019s. Better caterers, more choice and make the fans or customers as you like to call us, feel like we are getting treated with respect. Put seats at the catering areas. Offer more choice and people may be inclined to spend more and not fill their faces pre-match.<\/p>\n
9. Merchandise \u2013 You have the club superstore and a cabin outside the ground. Provide a place inside each stand that offers this facility. You can do it for a bookies so why not do it with something to do with Celtic inside Celtic Park. But here\u2019s a wee suggestion. Make the club merchandise more affordable. Yet again we pay more than you do on the high street. Make it competitive. Make the support feel as if we are all in this together and not being exploited. Better prices, happier fans and more fans = more sales = more profit.<\/p>\n
10. The Celtic supporters are Celtic – Don\u2019t treat us like second class citizens. Do most of the above and make us feel that we are all in it together again. Take the lead. Pay our lowest paid staff a living wage. Provide more support to the poorest in our community. Not just using a charity fund to pay that admirable as it is, is pretty much the supporters paying again. Be at the forefront. Our club roots are second to none. It\u2019s about helping those in desperate need in desperate times. Well for many it\u2019s desperate right now. Look at that statue of Walfrid outside the front door of Celtic Park. What would he have done? Given big bonuses and paid the minimum wage while people are starving? Of course not. Community comes first. A socialism without the politics? Not really it\u2019s just feeling proud of who we are, where we come from and what we can do to help. We are Celtic. Be special and lead the way and we will back you in our droves.<\/p>\n
