Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 from the Daily Record. watching them squirm is becoming more and more entertaining DUNDEE UNITED chairman Stephen Thompson last night urged Arabs fans to sell out Tannadice for the club’s Scottish Cup grudge match with Rangers.The SPL club announced ticket prices for the hotly-anticipated showdown on February 2 which is being officially boycotted by the Ibrox club. Rangers owner Charles Green admits he'll attend Dundee United cup clash despite urging fans to boycott tieUnited – who have to split the gate with Rangers despite their refusal to take tickets – are charging £15 for adults and £5 for concessions.Rangers fans who still wish to attend can buy tickets direct from Tannadice for the away end but Thompson has asked home fans to turn out in force.He said: “Much has been said and written about this fixture since it was first announced.“Most of this has been based on ill-informed criticism of this club and we will not respond in kind. Instead we would much prefer that both clubs do their talking on the pitch. Dundee United blast Ibrox chief Charles Green over claims selling tickets to Rangers fans risks their safety“A large crowd backing the team will give us an even greater chance of winning the match. We have made this as affordable as possible and in a season when our fans have shown unwavering support I urge them once again to turn out in great numbers and drive the team on in this game.“The Scottish Cup brings great memories for all Arabs and I ask everyone to turn Tannadice into a sea of tangerine when we play Rangers.”Briefs go on sale to United season-ticket holders today with a general sale for both the home and away end commencing on Friday.

iain1712 336 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 This tosser is so desperate for money I can see him instructing his manager to field an ultra defensive formation and try and hold out for a replay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Aye the media are trying to make out Charles Green is taking the cunt out of Rangers by attending. Another thing the media have got wrong Charles Green did not start this boycott he didn't tell us to stay away either.As soon as the draw was made Many RSCS said they were not running buses to Dundee. Then TBO and UBS said they weren't going and it went on from there etc..Rangers fans who were not going wanted Green to make it an official boycott and reject our ticket allocation.And he done that as he listened to his fans the way the other 12 SPL clubs listened to there fans during the summer.
