  1. The frustrating thing for me is that we can all see the bigger jobs that need done, like cleaning/cladding/replacing the roofing, more banners etc. but I was really hoping that a lot of the smaller jobs would've been done for the start of the season. There's still seat numbers missing and railings and stairs needing painted. It's especially frustrating when these services were offered for free/cost price by fans previously. I know there can be insurance issues but surely these can be overcome with minimal work/expenditure?

  2. I really don't get why anyone is interested in Ball. He's nowhere near good enough to play any part in our squad and I definitely can't see any future for him at Spurs.

    I'd be extremely disappointed if we signed him.

    We've been on 42k for a while now, I'm surprised we haven't sold it out yet. It's clearly slowing way down and seems like 43k is about what we would have sold anyway, regardless of what limit we put on it. The demand isn't there for another 5k season tickets.

    Not necessarily the case that there's not enough demand, it's probably more that there's not enough demand for the category of seat left.

    The remaining season tickets in the broomie don't include Celtic games. Prior to that, the only other seats left were very expensive seats in the club deck (excluding CD1 and CD7). Would be interesting to see how many more we would sell if the seats in CD 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were cheaper and still freely on sale.

    I mind Aberdeen used to get a portion of that part of the ground

    To be fair if we can be sat in the same stand as them at their midden they could theoretically do it at Ibrox 

    All the away fans used to be segregated in a similar way through the 90's in BF front and we shared the SJ stand against Dundee Hivs in the cup semi the other year, so it's definitely not an issue as long as it's managed properly. It's about getting the balance right between having enough of them in to create the atmosphere but ensuring more of our fans are given the chance to attend.

    Id rather not fuck about with the most Important game on the calendar In terms of global exposure. Would detract from the best game of the year. Would take the best away game from most of the loyal away support. Too many people are too concerned with hurting their fans than what Is best for ours and the club. Damaging the only fixture anyone outside Scotland gives a fuck about Is stupid. Its also why It wont happen and why Its pointless people continually saying we should do It.

    Why the fuck are people only just concerned with having them at Ibrox now? Theyve always hated us. Theyve always sang about the IRA. But only now are we annoyed at them being there? 

    Nah. You need a big away support for that fixture. It needs the hate. People should stop being so precious about them being there. 

    And btw, well be lucky to sell 43.5k now anyway the way the sales have slowed. Not really the point though.

    Been through this time and again. Pointless waste of breath. Wont happen.

     

    I totally agree that you still need a sizeable away support for this fixture, so I understand the decision to keep the allocation the same as previously, but personally I would like to see the allocation cut slightly to allow more Bears to attend and to give them as little TV coverage as possible.

    I'd give them BF and BR sections 1,2 and 3. This would still provide good segregation, as they would use the south half of entrances to the Broomie and we'd use the north half, the concourses could be easily divided with fencing/police, and the seats with the usual tarpaulin. It would take their allocation down to about 4000, so still big enough to generate an atmosphere but it eradicates most of their TV presence (like ours at the San Giro) and allows more Bears to attend.

    That being said, I get why it hasn't changed, just giving my 2 cents.

    Anyone ever sat in Bill Struth Rear Restricted? I can imagine the club deck overhanging will block out the top half of the Sandy Jardine, but is the pitch view obstructed?

    It totally depends on where the supporting pillar is. Some seats are nearly perfect and you only have to lean back or forward to catch a glimpse of the corner flag or whatever. On the flip side, some are horrendous and you have half the pitch blocked out.

     

    if you look on the seat plan, try and work out where the pillar would be from the restricted seats and choose one that you think's closest to a non restricted seat (probably the majority of the sold seats in that section).

  7. Better players who are able to cope with set pieces. Our general tactics and formation are spot on, we just need the players who can play it properly.

    Hopefully someone has the stats but at least 50% of our goals conceded this season must have been through set pieces and I'd wager a decent percentage of the rest will be through unforced errors.

  8. Whilst I agree with the majority of the sentiment in that piece, I think the thing we should be doing is fighting to take our country back. 99% of the flags in Ibrox now are unions jacks. We should make a concious effort to fly the union flag, the saltire, the lion rampant, the royal arms and the red hand in more even numbers at games, particularly the union flag and the saltire. Don't let someone steal your identity and polarise you, that just drags you down to their level and plays into their hands.

    We're sleepwalking into full blown nationalism, factions moving to the extreme left and right. We need to fight it before it's too late.
