celtic open two new coach parks
Newsroom Staff
CELTIC have opened two new supporters’ coach areas at Celtic Park for the new season.
Supporters are reminded of the requirement to register with the club if you wish to make use of the coach parks near to the stadium.
Celtic asks that fans only enter the coach parking areas if they are returning to their coach.
Supporters wishing to travel to Gallowgate should use either the Celtic Walkway or Janefield St to access Gallowgate.
Fans returning to their coach are asked to do so as quickly as possible in order the coaches may depart without delay.
Due to ongoing works in relation to the new M74 Road development and East End regeneration route, changes had to be made to the existing coach park.
With this has come new opportunity and Celtic is delighted to have developed two new improved coach parks.
Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “We are delighted to open these new coach areas. We have been in close consultation with Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police to ensure that any changes to the Celtic footprint take full consideration of the needs of the Club and its supporters.
“The new arrangement offers real improvement in terms of access to and egress from the stadium by splitting the volume of coach traffic to two sites.
“We have also ensured close liaison with supporters’ groups and are pleased that the work has received very positive feedback.”
The club would like to set out their arrangements for supporter coach travel to Celtic Park.
• Two areas are available at Celtic Park, both in close proximity to the Stadium. The upper coach park is accessed via Holywell Street. This area is primarily for supporters travelling from the west of the stadium, such as Ireland, Ayrshire, Inverclyde, Dumbarton etc.
• The second parking area (Davaar Coach Park) area is available for supporters travelling from south of the border, Lanarkshire, Stirling, Dundee etc. ensuring easy access to and from the M74, one of the main stadium access routes.

Booking procedure
To ensure that the safety operation at our park runs smoothly for both spectators and the community in general, we have introduced a booking procedure for our supporters travelling by coach to Celtic Park.
Step 1
Your club must register with Celtic Football Club if they intend to travel to Celtic Park by coach. The simple registration form asks for coach travel information e.g. departure time, number of passengers, on coach contact etc.
Step 2
When the registration form is received at the club we will send you a coach identification card along with directions on how to get to Celtic Park.
Step 3
Coaches must display their identification card in the front windscreen when approaching their allocated coach park.

The intention is that once allocated an area, dependent on availability, each coach would be there for the duration of the season.
If you require any further information on coach parking do not hesitate to contact us on 0141 551 4361 or operations@celticfc.co.uk
For supporters comfort and safety, both areas will be stewarded and policed and all buses/supporters are asked to follow the advice and instruction given.
Clearly this is a new system being introduced and the co-operation of supporters is greatly appreciated in this matter.
