Celtic extend season ticket renewal deadline - and fans are not happy

Celtic have extended their season ticket renewal deadline by four weeks - but fans are not pleased.

The Parkhead club have given supporters until Friday May 29 to claim their seat for next season, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

They said: "As a season ticket holder you have supported the team and the club through highs and lows, and we want you to be there again, standing with us next season.

"That’s why we have now extended the renewal deadline from Friday, May 1 to Friday, May 29, for all season ticket holders."

But Celtic supporters are fuming over the decision with the fate of next season completely hanging in the balance and believe they should have more time due to the financial uncertainty that COVID-19 has caused.

@cliv1967 said: "Should be put back indefinitely until we know how next season is going to actually work. Might not even play 19 home games."

@bellsio1191 tweeted: "Honestly, that’s awful nice of the board. Send my thanks."

@WeeNippySweety added: "People have lost their jobs fs, asking for money just now isn’t a good look."

@FonaldQ tweeted: "They shouldn’t be asking for a penny until we all know what’s going to happen with life and work, before we even get to football."

@FordFord2 said: "Need to do more than that."

@liviman71 said: "Some of us aren’t back to work until at least June maybe and might not have the money in the bank to transfer payment so what do we do? Genuine question??"

@chibchenko tweeted: "Is this a bam up?"
