Mystery surrounds Celtic Nation's spending spree

I'm always fascinated by stories like this. Small clubs suddenly winning the lottery and going mad. It's just sad for the clubs existing fans that these sort of projects often burn out very quickly.

Are they pronouncing it "Keltic" or "Seltic"?

I expect Diable Rouge will be here shortly to tell us all about them, as they are his FA Cup team.

This has got Colne Dynamoes written all over it, assuming it ever gets that far.

Denis O'Brien and Michael Lowry moving their assets after the whole Doncaster fiasco?

It's looking to me like the Parkhead bunch have found a way to buy their way into the English system and have tried to do it with as little fanfare as possible.

Celtic Nation - what a crappy name! Do they somehow think they're representing everyone with a celtic background?

There is no mystery about it. Not so long ago the world was told that the benefactor was Frank Lynch, one time owner of the Glasgow Apollo. His sidekick is Sandy Moffat who famously tried to merge Clydebank with Carlisle and play the merged club in the Scottish League from Brunton.

What odds on David Low being involved ? After all he was involved in Clydebank with Moffat.

It is no co-incidence that a two bit Northern League club changes its name and suddenly spends like it is going out of fashion.

Awesome, let's nickname them the Tigers and give it a few years...

Good luck to them its nice to see an ambitious team trying to achieve success, but with an average crowd of 36 is it probable? If they are targeting fans of Celtic blood wouldn't the project earn more favour if they only signed Scottish, Irish and Welsh players, can they really be Celtic Nation if the majority of their players are English? I wish them all the best and will keep a keen eye on their progress.

Well Cumbria a very 'celtic' part of England so even if they're not trying to attract Welsh, Scottish or Irish players the name (if a little on the lame side) is still appropriate.
