So they just jumped the barrier into the final section of the queue. Shambles, and a dangerous one. Agree, everyone was pushing toward the gate in totally the wrong direct, but the entrance to the cordon was over to the right, no official thot to point that out....

Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Looking at the nic of some of the boys that went away, lost luggage, lost passports, pals going missing, suitcases vanishing, 500 quid jackets lost, missed flights, cunts getting thrown off the flights at Glasgow before take off, pals searching for each other finding one another in brothels. Fucking superb. Wish I had kept holidays for this. Proper old school trip 😂😂🤣 jackunion and thebooler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panicking wondering how we were going to get back to the airport, busses eventually found no where near the stadium down a side street after a good 45 mins searching , sport options busses all lined up perfectly outside the ground for the bears going with them all in all great city , organisation from Thomas cook/Rangers and bears safety a fucking shambles Sounds like our SLO is off to a great start in his new career. 🙄 Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait till that guy realises how much he has to pay this morning to get home!!! That’ll sober him up pretty quickly. Incidentally, I thought the club rep did well to help diffuse the situation, as it was nothing to do with her. I thought every club in European competition had to have an SLO, and fan representation would be part of their remit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been far better if they'd have dropped us off where they picked us up , that way we would have known where to head for instead of wandering about in hope . This would also have staggered the fans arriving at the turnstile. gmcf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanFrontSince96 315 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Vienna was a cracking city and I enjoyed my day visit up until arriving at the stadium. As others have mentioned getting in was an absolute joke, situations like that put me off taking my boys to a euro game in future until they are older as someone Is going to get hurt. Rangers were not responsible for the barrier set up but if no one from our security team or the SLO asked for a ticket check to be in place before the ground then they should all hand in their notices. it would have been extremely easy to set up a check off the road before you walked down the hill to the ground. got there at 5.30 and it was chaotic, ended up in the wrong queue to the left of the main one at first and it was other guys who told us we were in the wrong one with official tickets. buses after the game was a joke too, does no one from Rangers or TC come out early to see where the buses are? They all seemed clueless and didn’t move until the police got on the loudspeaker to tell everyone the buses weren’t coming up to pick us up. But they would have known that if someone had come out early to laise with police, seems a lot of the TC reps and Rangers reps are on more of a jolly to see the game than look after the fans at time imo. Flight delayed until 1am another joke how a plane silting all day can’t be ready to leave on time is baffling, again maybe crew away on a days jolly and left it too late to prep the plane. maybe I’ll sign up to be a Rangers rep on these trips next year see the game and city without paying £325 for the privilege. Pissed off right now with result and tired, but I’m sure next year I’ll be raring to go again on another euro adventure. I know things can’t always go to plan but I do feel Rangers can play a part in better organisation and keeping fans safe. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However regarding Greg (SLO), they knew their was a mass ground arriving (thousands), which added on to the few hundred that were with us early, surely they could of opened the gates early to allow everyone access for their too be a empty turnstile for when the march arrived, poor planning considering Rangers security staff have weeks to plan these things. Also, when the situation happend, not one Rangers member of staff helped or tried to even ask security too open the gates as people were getting seriously crushed. Could of honestly been a real disaster lastnight, horrible things too see, its 2018, not the 80s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 17:10 i think, and they refused to open the gates till 17:30 even though theyy were watching people struggle to move and in pain, was horrendous, so people then had to start climbing the fences to escape being crushed.
