Tontospal 1,116 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Rangers were not allowed to let season ticket holders in for free because it would have deprived the SPFL of the funds yet Hibs and Motherwell are allowed not to sell tickets which has the same result of depriving the SPFL of funds.This is the reason our club should be challenging it. As an aside, the Board allocation of tickets has not been cut yet some fans who did not boycott the team and supported the team from day 1 this season are likely to miss out.Only in Scotland and our laughing stock of a game.

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 We are a special case and normal rules do not apply to us. We are the cash cow that keeps on giving. Being the biggest club in the country makes us a target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never missed a match in 2008 and never got a ticket for the UEFA cup final through my season ticket, I got one elsewhere. Its the way the cookie crumbles when tickets are being distributed. Im sure there will be people at Fir park who dont have season books or go to many games, its the same every big game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,241 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Wouldn't bother challenging it, it's already been widely reported how insane it is. Good luck to them, is there a legal requirement to give away fans any allocation? Hopefully we won't play either team in the league next year but I'd give them no tickets for any upcoming games between the teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details of these arrangements should be publicised by the Clubs concerned in advance.It all falls down to what is defined as a reasonable number and I don't see them siding with us in the argument Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the boycotters should be the ones getting the preferential treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
