TRAVEL NOTICE FOR FANS

Last week eight Celtic fans were part of 300 folks
traveling back from Poland through Ryanair, we were
left without an aircraft for just under 24 hrs in
Krakow Airport. At no time did the travel company
offer anyone, overnight hotel accommodation, expenses
for taxi fares or even a glass of water to folks who
had to remain in the airport at a time when they
temperature was very hot. Most folks on board have
decided never to use this company again. As lots of
Celtic fans do use them for trips across Europe please
be sure that this firm very very often takes no
responsibility at all for delays etc.

THE AFFILIATION’S 20TH YEAR IN ACTION

In March 2006 our 20th year as supporter’s
representatives with Celtic Football Club comes along.
The organisation was founded in early 1986 and after a
few meetings with the Celtic Board of Directors our
organisation was brought into the new shape of things
to come. One of our ideas is to hold a five a side
football tournament for all affiliation registered
clubs, this will obviously depend on the amount of
clubs who are willing to participate 

REMINDER TO ALL SUPPORTERS CLUBS

For the clubs who have yet to reply we need the
contact details from each club registered with us on
their club title and details of the main committee
person in each supporters club.
