Another Update - 16.10
Please track the latest comments as this initial comment isnt always the most up to date.
Its taken a little longer than planned (unexpected family and work commitments), but I now have the first draft of the letter completed for RSC's. Ive sent this to a couple of folk on here to review, then I will send out to RSC's.
We have 203 supports clubs, and I have collated contact email addresses for 111. The remaining clubs have contact numbers, so I will work my way through contacting them directly to get contact email addresses.
I plan on creating a separate Survey that I can point them to. I wont post the link to that on here. I would like to keep it more private.....if you know what I mean.
The hope will be that I have survey results from 1) general fan base and, I assume celtic fans; 2) RSC; 3) Match day fans. This should get the number over the 10k comfortably.
In the background, I have a number of calls lined up this week to get the best deal on printing and need to work on the content. Sorry for those who said to contact them over the weekend and I havent yet. Its been busy!
In addition to this, following the call from Police Scotland last week, I expect at some point this week to get the data relating to policing costs.
Things are looking tight for the next home game. I am determined to do it right, rather than do it quickly. If we miss the next game, its not ideal, but not the end of the world.
Please keep completing and please keep sharing

I have updated the OP with the below highlights.
***The detail of the completed will only be visible by me and club officials should they require to validate the findings***
Original Post
There seems to be an ever growing desire within our fanbase to both reduce the number of tickets celtic fans get at Ibrox and also to move their location. I am firmly in that camp.
I am of the opinion that change is needed, but in order to facilitate this, we need to gather the appropriate information to present to the board.
By way of starting the data collection I have created a survey to collect as much information as possible. The link for the survey is below:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RNXJY3L
In order for this to be taken as serious as possible, it is imperative that we get as many fellow fans to complete this as possible. I am aiming for 10k responses. If this cannot be done solely online, then I will look at other options to complete this.
There are many different opinions within our support and each is as valid as the other. If the survey indicates that no change is desired by the majority, then so be it. I’ll drop it. I don’t believe this to be the case however.
Can I urge every one of you to complete the survey and also share this with every fan you know and on any platform you can (FaceBook, LinkIn, Twitter etc etc)?
In the background, I have also requested information from Police Scotland to understand the other aspects that need to be taken into consideration for any potential change.
The plan ultimately will be to create a proposal to be discussed with the board. A proposal based on facts and reasoning rather than raw emotion.
I am merely a supporter, like most of you, and I am happy to take on any help, advice or experience that anyone else has. Just get in touch.

We have made change happen before and we can do it again.

I have updated the OP with the below highlights.
- Currently we have 4913 surveys completed with approx 80%wanting change.
- I have reached out to Police Scotland to gain an understanding of potential savings by moving them to the away corner, they have asked for my number to call to discuss in more detail. I am awaiting their call
- I have had some email exchange with C1872. They are meeting Stewart Robertson next week, and this topic “may” be on the agenda
- I have collated costs associated with creating 10k fliers to be handed out at Ibrox as well as the costs to fully analyse the data. Should there be no tangible progress with the meeting with SR and C1872, then I will look to set up a crowd funding page to help fund the cost associated with this and to help drive this forward.
