Obv a Celtic supporter. He did not need the refreshments or the programme. These were optional extras like a meal on Ryannair.

I’m not quite sure why the mention of the price of food, it more expensive at parkhead than at Dens

plus he bought the tickets in advance, there wasn’t any surprise at the cost of the tickets. Choices choices

[Billy Campbell's Ghost]

If we wrote to a Glasgow paper everytime we were ripped off off or mistreated at Parkhead there would be loads of letters every year back to the year dot. DCs are idiots for publishing this.

Andy Walker, says it all.

[Double Blue]

There is a well known Celtic fan in Dundee called Andy Walker so could well be him.

Must be local anyway if he only finished his work at half 11 and still made the game

[dblair]

As an aside, why is the “stock image of Dens” (factually incorrect as it’s now Kilmarnock stadium at Dens Park) a picture of when we had a burst drain under the pitch a few years back?! 

Also under the picture they’re is the caption “The teenager is accused of throwing the flare at Dens Park to the risk of injury”

The letter writer is Dundee based.

Derek Souter (ex director, not ex keeper) comment below the Tele letter is interesting.

Well said Derek.

"Is Mr Walker perhaps being selective here as he mentions nothing about if he bought any refreshments at Celtic Park across the seven matches he attended? Does he also then not have to add into this calculation the cost of travelling to and back from Glasgow?   Also one assumes he is a season ticket holder at Celtic so got the benefit of discounted tickets. And if he is not a season ticket holder at DFC he then has to pay a higher price than he would have if he had been. For example I have four family (Adult) season tickets and to watch the Celtic game cost me £68.00 for all FOUR tickets.   There are lies, dammed lies and statistics, I do think Mr Walker (whom i have much admiration for) is being a tad selective. And one could add that at least at Dens Park he'd get a decent view compared to Parkhead where visiting fans are housed behind giant and intrusive pillars."

I expect Mr Walker would never have posted this shyte if Celtic had run out 5-0 or 6-0 winners as was expected at the time.  Typical glory hunting barsteward.  I expect him and his family probably also left before the end so were doubly pissed off at missing the only goal.

So basically a whiny little b***h then.
