Summary

The Celtic Way is a mini podcast series where we talk to fans who have been involved in successful campaigns around Celtic. Through the series, we will talk to three individuals about their fight for change, what made their campaign successful and what lessons can be taken from their work in light of the current situation.

Current circumstances around our club are really tough and it’s especially difficult when the support feel that they are not being heard. With that in mind, it’s important to remember times when fans have been listened to, when they have been able to affect change and to remind ourselves that it can and will be done again.

In this episode, Clare Wilde talks to our good friend Erin Slaven about the On The Ball campaign she started in 2018, what it entailed, how they achieved success and what they learned along the way.
