International read mate, hopefully the recruitment piece is spot on

 

[scottmac]

Parkhead gold only next season or have I picked that up wrong? Hopefully the case

 

[ELGers]

Was there tonight actually thought a lot reasonable questions.

First time attending something like that and was worried would be dominated by nonsense.

That is what was suggested but also said they are open to changing depending on general view because the allocation will be larger.

Thanks, wasn't clear on if it meant what it is currently or going forward

It should be gold only tbh if it would guarantee everyone in gold one out of two and then balloting the rest but club will keep a huge percent no doubt

 

[DerekSSR]

Half the folk on this forum don't want away supports at old firms anyway so tickets shouldn't be a problem.

 

[SuperGers07]

Nice words from Bomber to end.
Over to the players

 

[I believe in Eli]

Most of those answers just read like lip service being paid.

 

[Zico]

Sounds like it was a lot better than previous one

 

[Cathcart Bear]

No it wouldn’t. Gold is approx 3600 at present. Parkhead allocation will be about 2800, half of which go to MyGers

 

[TheMarbleStaircase]

The people that are all being moved in the Broomloan so that we can accommodate more rabids should be allocated tickets first for the games at parkhead.

 

[DavieGF2]

Half the folk don't go to home games never mind aways.

 

[sheddensbear]

Double digit income from Castore is very encouraging.

I agree to an extent, of course Gold mygers members deserve the higher category games as a reward for their loyalty, they’re not in gold by chance. However if it is gold only then other CAT A games should be opened up to priority for those who didn’t get a Celtic ticket then silver and bronze IMO or else you’re facing a very real possibility that it’s a “closed shop” (yeah that term is back) for big games.

Throw in the folk getting moved from CF as well? Since let’s face it the 5% would never be happening with the UB in the BF as the Police & likely the club wouldn’t trust them in that close proximity.

 

[Kenny Senior]

Interested to hear the parking plans because to me selling off a chunk of the albion is such backwards thinking its unreal.

 

[Blue As]

Nice words from Bomber to end.
Over to the players

“I want to die wearing this tie”
Lovely from Bomber

 

[DerekSSR]

Parkhead should be gold only, there's very little benefit to being in gold as it is. Is it only Hearts that's gold only at the moment? A few hundred tickets between a few thousand in gold? Hardly rewarding.

Hearts is split over the 3 tiers

Hearts isn’t gold only.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Double digit income from Castore is very encouraging.

The people who are desperate for us to go to nike or adidas are going to be disappointed because we are not leaving Castore any time soon as they run our retail with little cost to the Club

Madness they're pressing ahead with this.

Parking is bad enough on matchdays with the Albion as it is.

 

[Coop1872]

No it wouldn’t. Gold is approx 3600 at present. Parkhead allocation will be about 2800, half of which go to MyGers

5% is 3000.

 

[DerekSSR]

Hearts isn’t gold only.

My mistake, is there any away matches that are gold only?

 

[Blue As]

The only one was Parkhead when it was the 800 allocation.

 

[Ray Von]

No offence to those being moved, but no they shouldn't.

How much would a multi story cost to build on half of it?

Less than the value of the part being sold?

It should be worth considering.

I dread to think what it'll be like once the no parking zone is introduced.

I think it's very expensive to be fair

 

[Cathcart Bear]

5% is 3000.

The allocation Feyenoord and others got for Parkhead was just over 2800. The statement that came out said it would be “around 5%”.

Even if we did get 3000 it still wouldn’t be enough for gold to be guaranteed a ticket

Half of gold for the first fixture, the other half for the second would be the ideal scenario.

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

So based on that response, Celtic will be gold only? Or was the club rep meaning it was gold only when it was 700 but they’ll need to revisit that decision?

Clarity would be helpful

 

[Cathcart Bear]

You’d still have 600-800 missing out

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

No it wouldn’t. Gold is approx 3600 at present. Parkhead allocation will be about 2800, half of which go to MyGers

Only around 40% will go to MyGers

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Double digit income from Castore is very encouraging.

Double digit? As in over 10m?

 

[bobba]

just cap the number of gold to fit that allocation arrangement? i.e half go to the first and the other to the second

 

[Stuhercules]

Idiotic decision to be trying to sell part of the Albion car park. Imo this should not go ahead.

 

[Cathcart Bear]

As @Gringotts Dragon says realistically only about 40% of the allocation will go to mygers, say 1200 each game. No way they’re capping the number in gold at 2400

 

[Coop1872]

The allocation Feyenoord and others got for Parkhead was just over 2800. The statement that came out said it would be “around 5%”.

Even if we did get 3000 it still wouldn’t be enough for gold to be guaranteed a ticket

The Rangers statement said 5%, the SPFL statement said around 5%.

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

Even if you miss out, the chances are greatly increased over the subsequent seasons. Mygers allocation before was approximately 250 tickets. It will be over 4x more than that now. I think they’ll open it up to all tiers anyway

 

[Trueblueal]

I think they are doing a good job these days. There are loads of training kits that my boy has picked up in sales that he wears all the time as well as having a the home and away strips from release time. I think the value is decent, the stuff looks good and tbh I've no complaints now (I had plenty at the outset).

Hearing that this deal is working financially for us too I see no reason to change kit supplier.

 

[cuellarsbraces]

Subway is a good shout. It’s pretty ridiculous the crushing that goes on.A good few old guys had to get off a few stops before Ibrox at the last old firm game as they were really struggling.

 

[steven allen]

Likewise

 

[Kentbear]

Double digit? As in over 10m?

Who said that was the Castore income? Bisgrove.

 

[steven allen]

I took it that it would be the biggest part of the mygers allocation would be for gold only but they would look at a smaller allocation for silver and bronze tiers because of the increased allocation

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

Would be quite amusing them justifying gold only for an increased Parkhead allocation but Hearts 576 being open to all tiers

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Who said that was the Castore income? Bisgrove.

See my question marks..I was asking. Who said ot and what does double digits mean in this instance?

 

[Kentbear]

I would also assume 10m plus but numbers can be manipulated, maybe someone that was present can elaborate.

F**k your gold only, bad enough fellow bears being moved to accommodate those rats & then to exclude all but the % at the top , utter joke
