Opinion – Less kits and more signing please, Celtic

Celtic today released a brand new third kit and I’m sure it will sell it it’s droves, but many supporters aren’t happy and it’s not hard to understand why…

The new top will cost as much as £75 for adults and with the recent release of two other shirts that’s quite an expense for those who like their replica shirts, not to mention an extra expense for parents who’s kids will be desperate to own one.

That’s a lot of money for the hard working every day man and woman. Folk like myself who have already commit to paying for a season ticket which isn’t cheap despite the present cost of living.

Yes we don’t need to purchase one, but that’s beside the point. We do pour our hard earned money into the club, a club who have recently declared that they have made record breaking profits, and that’s not counting the massive amount that will be earned from the Champions League, with supporters yet again contributing to that with ticket sales, rumoured to be costing around £200 for each season ticket holder, outside the corporate seats.

There’s also the impending sale of Matt O’Riley to Brighton which is expected to a fetch a record amount for the club as far as transfer outgoings go. And we might even lose Kyogo if Manchester City do come calling.

We don’t actually need more shirts, no matter how good they are. We want our hard earned money reinvested in players. So less merchandise and more players please, it’s about time that the club gave the supporters a break.
