Picked this up from a non-Celtc fans site, honest!
This was sent today by Aidan Kerr as a message to members of the Facebook group for members of Scottish football fans for the reintroduction of standing at SPL matches
"Today I went to the game in hope of displaying a simple message banner saying BRING BACK TERRACING however I was denied doing this.
As I entered the turnstiles at Section 111 I was asked by stewards and their supervisors to unveil the banner, fair enough. I was then surrounded by a sea of stewards like it was some sort of banner proclaiming something dramatically offensive. The supervisor radioed through stating it was a simple banner which read BRING BACK TERRACING. He then half a minute later said the Match Commander said it was not permitted entry to the ground. I then argued for a reason and was not given one. As I was in this argument a Police officer had been talking on his radio and then confirmed my suspicions that the Match Commander/Police did NOT say it was not permitted it was entirely from Celtic Security and NOT from the Police. This means somewhere in a control room a head security official gave an order to his colleague to tell a bare faced lie to a Celtic Fan.
I was never given a reason and told I should contact Ronnie Hawthorn for one on Monday. This is a shocking example of what we as football fans are up against.
I shall be contacting Celtic/Ronnie Hawthorn, interested media outlets and I shall be phoning Neil Doncaster to alert him over what his 'customers' get for a match day experience."
Now I don’t know who to believe. Who is the liar? :confused:
Is it someone who is part of the management team at Celtc? From how high up had this order to lie come from? Who will be made to resign? :cool2:
Was it the fan? I already have my doubts about him – there are no spelling mistakes on the alleged banner so it is probably a infiltrator from another club out to cause bother. And besmirch the good name of Celtc. :faf:
