1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 If we draw Aberdeen in the semis at Ibrox We all know they're entitled to 50% which is fair enough But if they can't sell out 25k tickets do the SFA step in and amend things? What I mean is can Aberdeen purposely put in for their 50% knowing fine well they won't fill it just to fuck us up for having less fans there and it's no loss to them as technically it's not their ticket money they are losing or would the SFA step in and mediate?I hate the thought of them getting out main stand and enclosures etc but it might be an idea to give them that 15 thousand as giving them only the Govan isn't practical safety wise as they'd be pinned in between two full stands of Rangers Also if they draw us at Ibrox and win, will they celebrate breaking the 28 year hoodoo like there's no tomorrow - or are we really a new club with no history?

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 To be honest, I think the sheep and possibly Dundee United are the only clubs left in the competition capable of taking up their full allocation, apart from Rangers obviously.

GR09 37 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi 1st Jan,just to pull you up on a minor point, I think the away team in the cup gets a share of the gate, so it would be their money they're losing. TBH I think the Jap would try and force us to keep those seats empty to deny us cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 They'll do similar as they do at Hampden. Try sell the tickets in a manner which if Aberdeen were to send tickets back then it would be easier to segregate. Ie Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You think either of those could sell 25,000 for a semi?Aberdeen could and if the continue to improve under mccinnes and feel they have a real chance then they would fill that allocation.I get where the OP is coming from though and logistically it could prove quite difficult to segregate it especially when you add in all the cooroerate seats that will be filling the main stand....

Try sell the tickets in a manner which if Aberdeen were to send tickets back then it would be easier to segregate. IeDo you think they would give them the 7.5 k in the Broomloan then where would they work across after that? Unsure about Govan segregation as there's Bar72 and those guys get their cup seats for free as part of the deal Start working across into the main stand you can't segregate that - unless they just get the West Enclosure and leave the main stand and club deck above that empty and give us the east side of it - then that still leaves thousands of empty seats It would honestly be easier just giving them 15 k main stand, club deck and enclosures IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 In my opinion both will come close to filling thier allocation if they face us at Ibrox. Thier biggest game of the season. the logistics about seats are a nightmare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Well considering corperate tickets and the like, say 10,000, that would leave 40,000, which should be split 15,000/25,000, if either one of them can manage that. Just give whoever arrives the Broomloan and be done with it. I really don't think they'll be that many of them, especially at Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about bar 72 though as its a 'neutral' game and not a home fixture. I'd expect. In an even split Wed got main stand and Copland and they would get broomie and Govan.

I really don't think they'll be that many of them, especially at Ibrox.I don't think it will be that easy they will take considerably more than the Broomloan but not quite enough for 50%Hopefully we just draw them at Ibrox in the next round - even if we need to give them 20% Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an even split Wed got main stand and Copland and they would get broomie and Govan.Fair point re Bar 72 being a neutral game that will be how they will justify getting the Govan Could probably half the Govan with a good police presence if needle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some will love the idea, and then again there'll be just as many not wanting to come near the place, as they might put it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
