If we take GGC at there word that leaves the question of segregation. If the police didn't want Celtic fans split between the main stand and a chunk of the JHS...and stated Thistle could not do it, then fair is fair. Personally would just have given them the main stand in that case but I'd cut my nose off to spite my face, think the board would be failing in their duties if they done that.
Here's the thing tho, Celtic fans coming out of the JHS would be coming out a different way to fans in the north stand. The fans in the northy would be coming straight out into the throng coming out of the main stand...as happened, didn't it (Was in the JHS so not sure)? Thistle fans from the main stand mixing with Celtic fans from the northy...so why couldn't that have been reversed? That's why I have doubts over the police stating segregation would be an issue.
So if the club misled us on that one, especially if we now consider the paltry number of tickets we got for parkhead, then we as fans have every right to feel very let down. A lot of ifs in that lot tho.
