This time of year sees club football take a break, of course, but that’s not to say we stop thinking about the Bhoys.
The men from Celtic Park are off on their holidays in the main and many are taking a break from things but, at the same time, there’s still plenty going on at the club.
Work on the stadium is underway ahead of 2018/19 and the club will also be looking at ways they can make the experience of supporting an easier process.
The modern game can get complicated at times, so what do you think about this suggestion from a Celtic fan on Twitter?

Good Idea. I’ve still got my Munich arena one, think it’s still got a bit of credit on it. It’s a lot less hassle after you’ve put money on it to be fair.

Bayern have them and the service was very good when I visited a few years ago

Would you not think it would give them a licence to up prices at their leisure As much as we love our team The people that run it milk us for every pennyx2

Don’t know about an arena card but contactless payments would be a big bonus.

Do an outside company not do catering at CP…..we would need to bring it in house again if it were to work

The Verdict
I quite like the idea, to be honest.
I think it streamlines things and, at the same time, it evidently works on the continent with clubs like Bayern using it.
Whether or not the club uses it, though, remains to be seen as I’m sure it might take a while to sort out and implement.
