"Can We Have a COMPARE THE MARKET. COM for the Media?"

Postby Joe O'Rourke » Thu Apr 01, 2010 2:50 pm

[SIZE=3:eeba8725]I wonder if we could have a Compare the Market. Com for the media, some sort of format where you get the opportunity to choose which journalist you read, or which Radio or TV presenter you listen to, though listening to them maybe it should be named Confused.Com, that would more accurately describe their mental state.[/SIZE:eeba8725]

[SIZE=3:eeba8725]What a pleasant change it would be if our national newspapers were not in the control of people like Jackson, Leckie, Cowan and Waddell; or if we didn’t have to listen to the likes of Keevins, Traynor and Cameron on the Radio; all of them full of their own importance; and devoid of ideas about constructive journalism. Did you ever listen to Cameron waffling on about when he was in Dubai? There has been a lot of talk recently about everyday events here, which are crimes in Dubai; obviously talking absolute nonsense isn’t one of them or they would have locked him up and threw the key away.[/SIZE:eeba8725]

That's why Joe I get all my CELTIC news and info from CELTIC sources only - I wouldn't pay any money to keep any of the folk you mention above in a job. Keep us posted on the meeting situation and if any further open meetings will be taking place. Thanks.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
