Motherwell And Potential For Trouble


RFC55

Recommended Posts

This has all the hallmarks of rugby park 2011. Except this time the result matters to both teams and the game is huge. I was in the home end and I mustve been surrounded by at least another 5-600 bears mixed in with the Killie support in the stand opposite their main stand.

What we know is Rangers fans who don't get Rangers end tickets will travel and sit anywhere. If we score they will show themselves by going potty. I must say I'm surprised the polis have allowed this. Motherwell will not sell out their ground and we will snap up the rest.

Rangers fans will still be in that ground and there will be at least the 4,000 there was meant to be, though now the police and stewards will be stretched to the limit as we will be scattered all over.

I don't know why the ridiculous decision has been made but Motherwell must be held to account if/when this goes wrong

It's a shambolic state of affairs. Hibs cut our allocation for what reason exactly? They didn't have the demand from their own pish support. Was it to gain a sporting advantage of lowering the decibels of the Rangers support? Or was it just toys out of the pram stuff, cutting ther nose to spite their faces, less revenue in, and still dumped out the playoffs by the Rangers.

The demand for the motherwell game at Fir Park will be massive, we'd snap up the full stadium capacity if it was going, inevitabely Rangers fans will go sit anywhere.

I'd encourage any bears planning on sitting in Home fans areas to go in groups incase any trouble kicks off, but i'd imagine we'd outnumber Motherwell fans by a margin anyway, how many do they have anyway, about 200? Let's get as many bears inside the tip that is Fir Park as possible for a wee promotion party (tu)

If Motherwell genuinely struggle we will end up with 6000 or so in the ground.

I think at killie we had behind both goals half of main and then about 1000 all in, in the stand I was in.

This will kick off if its tight and we score and I don't mean that as in we are looking for trouble but it could get naughty

I agree but we all know if it goes off then the blame will only be apportioned to us.

The club should actually be going public with their concerns on this matter, in an attempt to get us more tickets and also to ensure that the authorities know we will not be held to account for the consequences of this short sighted decision.

Yip I agree with that mate. We've done it at tannadice and Easter road which are a lot more intimidating than FP.

This is going leave the police in a cunt of a poaition.

If they see bears in the home end will it be ejection or will they move us like they did at rugby park into an emptier section?

I just read a statement from Motherwell. The only way to get tickets in the home end is if your a Season Ticket Holder or a Well Society Member (whatever the fuck that is) - and if your not, then you need to get someone who is to buy your ticket.

So that's the hurdles gers fans will face to get home end tickets?

Motherwell deserve everything that is coming to them.

Cut our allocation all you want, you will just make us even more hacked off and put the game at a bigger risk for trouble.

Good luck selling that shithole of a stadium only to Motherwell fans though, I'm sure there will be no Bluenoses in the home end.

They'd already sold tickets I read :lol: so that's fucked them.

They deserve any trouble that happens given:

A) their decision to cut out allocation

and

B) failure to control who ia buying tickets.

Arseholes

Is it true before their statement today they'd been selling to anyone who wanted one?

We were able to keep schtum for the first goal, started a nonchalant meander towards the bulk of the bears at the second and joined the main body of the kirk just as the third went in - superb.

As I recall, the stewards had anticipated the exodus of bears and had left a "safe zone" empty.

I went bonkers at the first goal :lol:

No matter what they do, they will likely not prevent Rangers supporters from getting inside. Seems laughable that they are preventing normal supporters from going, even their own.

How many ST's did they actually sell?

If any Bears end up in the East stand there will be trouble, that's their hardcore element.

I can sort of see their stance as we will turn it into a home match(we always do anyway) but it's not like their fans are going to snap up the rest and make it a sell out.

They will end up having to open the rest of the South stand and escort Bears from the home section into it, safest all round.
