Media response from the

The West Awake !

Celtic are big news. Good copy, and invariably when a lot is written on a subject a fair degree of it will be wrong.

Now, when we read or hear things on Celtic that are wrong we all have a tendency just to let it wash over us, just to let it go. This is particularly the case if you have the great misfortune to be exposed to the Scottish media, or to give it its correct name, 'Bollocks'.

David Mellor - Evening Standard, Friday, 11 March 2005.

If you had to spend eternity with somebody who would it be? Kylie Minogue? Caprice perhaps? Personally I've always had a thing for Cindi Lauper (yes, I am that old). Well Greener would choose David Mellor. Why? Because he has a face you would never tire of slapping, especially after calling Celtic fans bigots due to our dislike of Petit Merdes proposed appearance in an Auld Old Firm game……….

Hillingdon Times - Monday, 23rd February, 2004

As well as attempting to put the media straight on Celtic matters the WLCSC have featured in the local London Media. Last year, 2004, our charity of choice was Mencap, and after assisting a local charity, a local paper had this to say……..
