Talk:Celtic Park

message: So, Bill the bear, are you going to provide any evidence of rigging, or even offer some reasoned arguments?  I'm guessing not, and unless you surprise me I will be reverting back.  I am the one who is citing a source, and the BBC is about as credible as you get, so the information is valid and belongs in the article. Gourlg9a 01:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Come on you know it was rigged. Bill the bear 01:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Where's the evidence? In what way was it rigged? It was a phone-in poll (so I believe), so fans of all teams had an equal chance of participating. Where's the evidence to the contrary? Camillus (talk) 01:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You know it was rigged by people multiple voting, but you just can't quite admit what everyone knows. Bill the bear 01:42, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Where's the evidence of multiple-voting? Even if it was the case, what's to stop fans of any other team multiple-voting? Camillus (talk) 01:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

text:  Unfortunately Celtics fans message board does not stretch this far back, I know it was rigged as I have seen discussions on forums about multiple voting on internet polls plus it is only human nature, you practically concede that it was rigged. The point is that there is nothing to stop multiple voting so most Internet polls are skewed. Self praise is the least rewarding. Bill the bear 01:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I remember Celtic fans trying to nominate Neil Lennon as Sports Personality of the year, Scotland fans trying to get the bridge at Wembley called the Jim Baxter bridge. Internet Polls are no true indicator of public opinion. Message boards and forums such as Celtic Minded or Follow Follow ensure that a hardcore set of fans cast multiple votes, whilst the general public are often unaware of the pollBill the bear 01:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: BBC poll

message: Sorry, but what's the significance of:
 There are two large screens inside the ground for showing highlights and replays on matchdays,
 but these screens cannot be switched off as the electronics are in series, and it would cost
 Celtic a large sum of money to switch them on and off regularly.
I just don't understand this edit. Is it a problem that the screens can't be switched off? Wasted electricity? Wasted money? The bit about "the electronics are in series", may be of interest to electricians I guess, I don't know. As currently worded, this is just a rather boring factoid - like going to a page about, say, Alex Ferguson, and being told that he has a bad habit of leaving his telly on stand-by?

thread_title: Problem with screens?

message: I have removed the passage on the flag of the Irish Republic. The passage was tendentious, unsourced material and not about the football ground as such. It seeks to take the article away from objective information about the stadium itself and in a controversial direction e.g. with the unsubstantiated (not to mention highly unlikely-sounding) claim that Glasgow City Council plan to force Celtic to remove the Irish flag and replace it with the Union flag if Glasgow's Commonwealth Games bid is successful.

replies: text: Similarly with the contentious claim that the flag of the Republic of Ireland is to be replaced by "the flag of the British Monarchy" (whatever that means - it could be the Lion Rampant flag in Scotland).

replies: text: I'd prefer if you stuck a "fact" tag on it rather than remove it (unless you did that already) cheers.--Vintagekits 09:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: "It is the second largest football stadium in Scotland by capacity, after Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and the fourth-largest in the United Kingdom after Old Trafford, Wembley and Millennium Stadium"
How can it be the forth largest in the UK if it is smaller than Murrayfield, Old Trafford, Wembley and the Millennium Stadium.  I might not have a CSE in maths, but surely that makes it the fifth largest.  I shall change it to that effect.

message: According to Simon Inglis' "Engineering Archie" Archibald Leitch designed Celtic Park in Belfast but I can't find any evidence of him building the one in Parkhead either in that book or on-line.
The kerrydale street website lists Duncan and Kerr as the engineers who built the stand originally in 1929, which was then significantly redesigned in 1971.
http://www.kerrydalestreet.com/page/Celtic+Park+-Timeline
If this is correct the list of Leitchs' projects also needs corrected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.212.14 (talk) 23:45, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That link doesn't seem to be working, do you have an up to date one? JoshuaJohnLee talk softly, please 14:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Inglis' Football Grounds of Britain says that the main stand was designed by Duncan and Kerr, who also worked on Firhill Stadium. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 23:19, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

text: The confusion may be because, according to Inglis, Duncan (of Duncan and Kerr) had been a key employee of Leitch and the stand was (therefore?) reminiscent of Leitch work, even though it wasn't a Leitch as such. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Is it worth mentioning this recent tragedy in the article, seeing as (thank God) fatal accidents at British football stadiums are extremely rare nowadays? tAD (talk) 22:18, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:TOOSOON. If it was just a tragic accident, there isn't much relevance to the fact it happened at this stadium. If (say) the authorities find that there was some safety feature that could prevent a similar incident in future, then there would be some wider significance.
