Aimed at the board rather than a small fans group. ForeverAndEver, The Specky Forum Organiser and Cedrick 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza2258 478 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I would / do back them on their campaign to have 'safe standing' installed in the stadium. I didn't realise it would only cost £150k if that is a correct figure. If it is the money that is an issue then I think they should lead a fund raising campaign to get the money to install it - I don't think it would take that long to raise. I don't back them on their campaign to sit where they want though. It would mean moving other ST holders, some of whom have been there a very long time. I seen something about this on FB recently and their supporters were slamming the ST holders who piped up, and the general consensus was that the seats are effectively 'rented' from the club so you have no entitlement to demand to keep your seat. That works both ways for me, it is of course correct, however it also means the UBs have no right to demand where they sit either. What I think they do totally wrong - almost every time they do protest (which is getting more often) is pick their times to do it. The other night is a good example and arguably (armed with hindsight) was our most important game of the season. Why do it during that? They claim (quite rightly) to be the group that is bringing an atmosphere back to Ibrox, and I applaud that, but do it away from the games, or before a game, or after a game, not during it. The way they are going about their protests is fucking people off and losing them support, but I'm certain if they boxed clever they would gain support, funds and momentum in their spat with the club. Unfortunately they do come across as huffy and childish at times. Just saying !!!!! East Enclosure Row N 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35 Yard Dangerman 3,472 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Can't see this even being a footnote on the boards things to do list. Im not quite completely up to speed with what they have asked for though exactly? They canny be asking people to basically swap seats and for them to then sit in BF1 or whatever can they?

LewisWATP 295 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think the timing is wrong. And there are other ways to go about it. Don’t get me wrong. I like the UB for what they are trying to do making the atmosphere better, but demanding the club give them seats where other bears have sat for a very very long time is not fair at all, my opinion and not everyone will agree obviously but quite clearly that would not be fair on them. Regarding safe standing, it’s another thing I am for, If costs is a reason and the club don’t want to spend on it, I reckon if the UB did a fundraiser all next season, they could maybe hit that target off 150k.

Inigo 32,524 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I do think the UB should be a bit more careful. Just anecdotally, they're increasingly pissing off alot of the other support going from the comments I hear around where I sit and amongst folk I know. They were getting absolutely slaughtered around me for the bog rolls the other night. I think the reaction I was hearing to something that shouldn't be that big a deal is maybe suggesting folk are losing patience a tad.

BF3 was never full of ST holders until recently, aye there will be a few long term ST holders sitting there but the majority will only have been bought in the last few years. Nobody is being forced to move except maybe the first few rows behind the net. Also it was the club who suggested BF3 before back tracking.

So the point of the UB's protest was to prove how bad the atmosphere is without them, therefore having a negative effect on the team's performance, right? With this in mind, why did they choose the most important game of the season to make their point? I'm not saying it's their fault we lost or that there's no difference in atmosphere without them. In fact, I agree with the points they're making. But winning that game on Tuesday was more important than the future of their group.

The Specky Forum Organiser 63,954 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Kinda changed my mind about this a bit. Not really having a go at them and I agree 100% with them wanting safe standing and I agree there should be protests if that's what's required but this wasn't the night Seems to have backfired as haven't seen many people supporting what they did Should have sung for 90 minutes but still done the throwing onto the park imo KingKaiJohansen, 16BlueSherbert90 and Gazza2258 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
