ElBufalo20 7,890 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Any update on the allocation we'll get? I see the sheep have got 5k surely we should be offered 7.5-10k Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The Police are setting a limit of 10,000 away fans for our visit iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before and i'll say it again. There is no way police should set the amount of fans allowed in a ground when it has a safety certificate for a capacity of 67,000. Their job is to analyse the risks and prepare accordingly, not set how many people can go about a lawful activity. They have way too much arbitrary, executive power in Scotland, and Britain in general. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar 13,676 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I wouldn't imagine we will get anywhere near 20'000. Police will never allow it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Should give us 50000 and Hearts 17000. They want to put Scottish football on the map and get people talking about it. There's a great story. Of course it's a positive one about Rangers so wouldn't fit their narrative..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sporting event where they have over 60k for rugby matches. its the capital city where hundreds of thousands of tourists go for the festival yet the police limit the amount of big bad Rangers fans going. its a disgrace Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they could just do what they did back in the day when Easter Rd held 57,000. Be police and do their jobs. A novel concept it seems in today's world.
