santheman Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Did you ask if they could move, if so what was their response? Yes we did and to be fair to them they always sympathise with us but point out that they have to do what they're told by Celtic Final nail for me was a being in the second row at the corner flag and one of our disabled fans clearly being called an Orange spastic and those turds did feck all about it while proceeding to chuck out Well fans for hee haw. . That was the son of a good friend of mine and he's never gone back since because of that. Posted what happened on P&B and got nothing but abuse from Celtic fans who accused us of making it up.

Lobey_Dosser Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thing is Celtic are quite happy to see a non-existent away support. Real shame that majority of diehard travelling fans across Scotland have been driven to the decision to avoid seeing their team at Parkhead.

that hat Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Celtic Park although it is probably the worst example in Scottish football and hopefully we can embarrass them into doing something about it via social media. Celtic embarrassed? You're having a laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsMFC Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've tweeted this and it's been picked up by Celtic's SLO which I assume stands for Security Liaison Officer or something. Anyway, they say they are working to find a solution for next time and also to contact any disabled supporters affected at the game to issue a refund. If you have any details you want me to pass on, I don't mind following this up for you. Good stuff Eddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Have also posted the picture and a short description on the "Heavy Hands Empty Stands" page which has so far reached over 7k people. Lots of support and similar stories from disabled supporters of other clubs. Hopefully it prompts them to do something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Eddie, if you could ask him to contact John McCaskie of our Disabled Supporters Association (via the club) he would welcome the opportunity to have a chat with him directly. His counterpart at Motherwell knows about the situation and I think he has been in discussions with him as well.Hopefully between them something can be done about it.
