Na Dead Raibead:
Na Dead Raibead (or ‘The Dead Rabbits’) are an organization created by the supporters of The Celtic Football Club, though without affiliation, which are based and/or raised in North America. The main goal of this organization is to bring atmosphere to Celtic matches that are played in North America. The Dead Rabbits have also been set up in order to aid supporters throughout the continent in learning about the history, politics, and general upbringing of many supporters of the famous Glasgow Celtic. The name ‘The Dead Rabbits’ has been chosen in honor of the former New York City based organization of the same name which helped to establish a home in America for many Irish Immigrants.
The Organization:
The Dead Rabbits are an organization who will actively help North American Supporters to further their knowledge of The Celtic Football Club, while also bringing atmosphere to matches on North American soil. These goals will be accomplished while adhering to several principles and policies which have been set up in the founding of The Dead Rabbits. These include creating an anti-racist, anti-sectarian, and pro-equal opportunity environment for all members to feel comfortable to discuss issues stemming not just from Celtic but also from all facets of life. We also respect and support the Irish Republican movement and the unification of Ireland.
The Forum:
Keeping with both goals of the organization, the forum has been set up at http://deadraibead.org This forum will be a place for North American Celtic Supporters of all types to learn more about the club, to discuss the club, and as well to have a general good chat with like-minded people on this vast continent. Other features will be available only to members of the group in order to help plan for displays at matches held in North America as well as to discuss issues more pertinent to The Dead Rabbits organization.
Keeping with the missions of the group, political debate will be encouraged however any racist, sectarian or otherwise inappropriate comments will be deleted and the user will be then warned and/or banned.
