UnionMen 411 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Motherwell are entitled to do what is best for their club, I disagree, the competition, it's rules, and integrity of the game all take precedence over Motherwell throwing the toys out of the pram, or trying to gain some kind of nonsense advantage by creating a subdued atmosphere, it's ridiculous.

NixonRFC 1,333 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't think there was a higher % of empty seats at our home game than at theirsyou might be right, there was what, 11k at Ibrox at 4k at Easter Road, regardless though, both games could have had significantly more fans in attendance if Clubs worked together Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours was over 41k.Ahh you're spot on, I'm sure on the Telly they said 16,700 odd, I watched it in the boozer tho so probably heard it wrongit doesn't really change the point though, both clubs should have given each other far more Away tickets than either one received.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Please stop going to away games and just full up Ibrx all the time.Screw every football club in Scotland and shut them all out of Ibrox.I'm serious.I agree.Time to bring back the home reserve matches on a Saturday afternoon.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Motherwell are entitled to do what is best for their clubI agree but what they are doing is not best for their club.Financially it is a no brained as they are basically turning down free money.Football wise they are sending the message to their players and manager that they don't have any confidence in them winning in front of a sizeable Rangers support, which is absolute nonsense when you consider that a fan or support has never scored or stopped a goal.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 "When I was manager of Motherwell we used to rely on Rangers bringing between five and six thousand fans twice a season which was worth £250,000 to us as club. "That was the equivalent of four of five Motherwell players wages for the season. By turning up at Fir park The Rangers support effectively paid for about half the Motherwell first team per annum - yet they wish to go on a point scoring exercise. Scottish Football at its finest.
