Some feel as if they've lost a family member, as the agony cuts deep into the blood, which most of them would describe as green and white, the club's iconic colors.Botha Msila, who was essentially Celtic's public face and phunya selesele no one fan has blamed chairman Max Tshabalala for arranging the club's demise."It's a difficult situation to be in. It's as if someone told you that one of your family members had died, and you sat down and wondered where to begin. Celtic was a way of life for us. There is nothing left for us at Celtic because this club runs through our veins. We did not make a financial investment, but we did make an emotional one "The well known supporter express his feelings."I can think of a lot of people who have perished on the road as a result of this club." I can think of a lot of folks who have given so much for our club. People gave everything they had to support this club. This club was sold by Ntate Molemela to Jimmy (Augousti), who then sold it to Max Tshabalala.Why couldn't Max Tshabalala do the same thing and sell it to a Bloemfontein resident? There was a man from Bloem who was interested in purchasing the club. Lebohang Mokoena is his name. Why sell the club to someone who plans to relocate it outside of the province and rename it?"By selling Celtic, they have effectively killed the province's economy." People will lose their employment, including security guards and others. Celtic is no longer alive. Bloemfontein Celtic's demise was arranged by Ntate Tshabalala Mam'Mkhize and the PSL. Ntate Tshabalala would not have sold it to someone who would move it outside of the province if he had comprehended the tradition.This is excruciating.

"It's a terrible time for the people of Bloemfontein," says Lebogang Mothibantwa, a former midfielder."This devastating news has impacted the entire province; Bloemfontein will never be the same."We're not only talking about football here; we're also talking about the province's economy."Matchdays were crucial to certain people's survival." I'm hoping that this team will be resurrected at some point in the future."Siwelele's most popular female fan, Mamello Makha was hoping PSL chairman, Dr Irvin Khoza would stop the transaction.Makha, who was visibly upset, stated, "I am disappointed and shattered." When the news first broke on Friday, I couldn't believe it."I was praying the news wasn't genuine, but it started to sink me following the announcement at a PSL press conference that Bloemfontein Celtic was no more."
