AL-FFC Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 7 hours ago, GMBairn said: Not sure this forum is the correct one to discuss the clubs political stance and support for the British govt. And forces. If anyone has grievances they should probably get in touch with the club directly and they could potentially poll the support through FSS or something to see if the wider support approves or disapproves of it. Can you explain how signing up to a covenant to give someone leaving the forces an equal chance of a job or not discriminating against them Is the club supporting the govt ? This is effectively the Armed Forces Covenant: The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly. or would you rather we just not bother about them and deny them medical treatment or chances of a job etc. I've known guys I served with that when going for housing were told "your making yourself homeless by leaving the forces and weren't entitled to a house" and that was a married guy with kids and that was Falkirk Council who told him that. I get the fact this topic has deviated from Falkirk and football due to a post but signing up to say you'll give someone an equal chance and not discriminate against them for a job they done in the past is not supporting the British Govt its not supporting any conflict or glorifying war. The club has been good in supporting Armed forces day and also in remembrance of Remembrance Day it doesn't change anything that they are doing. For those who have got annoyed about the club announcing that, have a look into the Armed forces covenant, do your research before getting annoyed about it its not as i we are going to play the national anthem before each game make everyone stand and make the ultras sing "god save the king" remove the league 1 flag and replace it with a Union Flag or remove the 2 falkirk badges on either side of the stadium and replace them with huge murals of the King. Have a word with yourself . Because honestly if you feel that former forces should be discriminated against and castigated for a job they done or you think its about supporting the govt etc then either way there's 2 clubs in Glasgow you might feel better with. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't one of the super-early folk but realistic enough to admit that I've probably queued longer for a ticket than we've got left in the competition Football, eh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said this isn't an appropriate forum to really discuss what the club should/shouldn't do and I don't know if HSW comments represent a small or large section of the fan base but it is potentially something the club should get an understanding off if they are going to get a negative reaction to it so they can respond however they think appropriate. I can't imagine there is wide concern in the support as I think most people won't give a f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just take what going? Club says they’re forced to sell the tickets in the order Celtic gave them. I’ve moved to England in the last week to live so driving to Falkirk to pick up a ticket is a non-event for me. I’ve called and left an answer machine message and followed up as suggested with an email. I’ll be interested to see if this system works or not: if I can’t go because I can’t get a ticket then I’m gonna be rather pissed off. I never miss a game unless I am ill.

Spot on. I can't really believe it's an issue as it's just about being an employer who treats staff as human being and recognises that some people have more shit to deal with than others. When I first started working many moons ago there was guy straight out the army started at the same time as me. 6 months later he was back in army. It's another world and takes adjustment to get into the world that most of know and everyone who needs support to make that adjustment should get it. It's not political, it's human. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Who's decision was physical tickets? Seems unnecessarily clunky in 2024. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I think even if Celtic were insisting on physical tickets, the club could’ve just sold on the ticketing platform like a normal game and then people could have used that to exchange for a physical ticket in the shop at their leisure. Probably a good reason for that I suppose but doing it this way isn’t ideal for folk who work. Will see what’s left when I get there later tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I will get a first class view of the Celtic game. There is no restricted view from my couch to my TV. No horrible attitudes apart from the wifes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboccop Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Well, in fairness calling and leaving a message followed by an email worked. So I have tickets. Thank you, everyone at the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
