[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]Much has been said and written about what could and should happen in the event of a Rangers Newco being allowed back into the SPL without the appropriate sanctions. Supporters of clubs up and down the country have made it clear that sporting integrity must take precedence over commercial interests.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]We have canvassed our branches within the Celtic Supporters Association, and the vast majority have declared support for a selective bhoycott of those clubs who support the admission of a Newco.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]In the event of that scenario coming to pass we would then look to consult with the other major supporters groups, and with those who have an influence within the Celtic support with a view to calling an open meeting of as many Celtic supporters as possible.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]We fully understand the very difficult decision that has to be taken by some clubs regarding the potential loss of commercial revenue through the likes of live television and sponsorship deals, but that cannot be allowed to be more important than operating in a fair and just manner.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]If the boot was on another foot, like that of Dundee Utd, or Kilmarnock, do these chairmen think that they would not be booted out without it being given a second thought? and that goes for all the gang of ten.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]There is a long way to go until all the investigations are complete, I believe in the coming weeks stories will come out which will be even worse than is already out there, and it may well result in court proceeding taking place.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]I would say to all the other supporters who are not members of the Celtic Supporters Association, give great thought and consideration to joining us in taking action in the event of a Newco being allowed back into the SPL.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]There will be plenty of opportunities to voice your opinions in the coming weeks, please feel free to contact myself either through our web site, or directly.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
[SIZE=3:21a47d2d]Just by way of some additional information, I was looking at some of the figures for fans visiting Celtic Park, in the season just finished, if you don't count Rangers fans, a combined total of less than 4,000 supporters of other teams visited Celtic Park, on Sunday one of the Scottish Cup Finalists (Hearts) brought less than 100, and they say they don't need us, well let's just see.[/SIZE:21a47d2d]
