GoramsGlove 12 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Before the game tomorrow, i think its right just to remind everyone on here just some of the quotes that has been said about our great fans and stadium before showing the world tommorow just why, WATP..Gary Neville (Manchester United) "This was the loudest atmosphere that I have known, compared to any English ground away from home."There have been certain nights at Old Trafford in European games - the ones against Juventus comes to mind - when the atmosphere was incredible."But this was definitely up there with the best. It was fantastic."When we came out at the start I was looking around me and I saw people in the directors’ box jumping up singing and I was wondering what was happening. It is not usually like that."The crowd beating us was never going to happen - but thank goodness they didn’t score." Marcos Senna (Villarreal) "Usually players don't even hear supporters when we play but it was impossible to ignore the crowd in Glasgow."When they scored, the noise was amazing, incredible. It was a very beautiful spectacle."I could almost say I was not totally sad when they scored - that crowd deserved it."It seems there will be 6000 Rangers fans here but only 4000 will get into the stadium. Well, it's going to be noisy inside and out."Their fans are great and it will help them but it was a lot noisier at Ibrox than it will be at our ground. The Madrigal fans support us a lot but in a different way."Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Barcelona) "It is not just made up that players can suffer from an intimidating atmosphere when they play at visiting grounds."I know from Ruud (Ruud van Nistelrooy) that when we beat PSV at Ibrox in the Champions League he thought it was very frightening. He said it was one of the most atmospheric matches he had ever experienced - and now he has to face it again. For him to come back to Ibrox it will be the same experience."I know that Manchester United's players face all the biggest games and full stadiums everywhere, but I think most of them will find this Wednesday night at Ibrox a really different atmosphere."I've played in England and I don't think that any stadium in the Premiership can compare with Ibrox for its intimidating atmosphere - it is far above them."Didier Drogba (Chelsea)"All I can say when I try to imagine what it will be like at Ibrox is Ooh la la!' I played against Rangers at Ibrox with Chelsea in the summer and we lost 2-0, I have told Perrin that the atmosphere at Ibrox is absolutely magical. To my way of appreciating football, its truly really beautiful. That's how to support your team!"Dado Prso (Monaco) "The atmosphere was incomparable, and I had goosebumps throughout the match," he said of the 2-2 draw, despite spending the first 56 minutes on the bench.Since then, I have never experienced anything as intense in any of the other European stadia I've played football in. Rangers are the club I needed to join. They are a club in my own image, and their ambitions are on the same level as my own."Frank Lampard (Chelsea)"The Rangers fans were awesome, all the lads were talking about it," said Lampard."The reception I got when I went to take corners during the game, and after when we were going off, was really nice."They certainly love their own team, but it was very special to get that welcome. It was amazing really, and a very good game to play in for us, certainly the best friendly we've had."With that kind of backing from their crowd, they will be hard to beat. And I expect to see Rangers in the Champions League. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMac 1,405 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Were there not players who threw up before a Euro game because of the noise? I think they were in the practice area. Sure it was a Russian team.Also this article about Henning Berg.
