Though I do partially share your sentiment - i'll never set foot in the place again but want the Bears who will to have more of a chance of a ticket. And a bigger fan presence would benefit the team. We can't get more though, the other side of the segregation is all ST holders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really about want - more about parity. We should get the same percentage for the piggery as they get for Ibrox. I dont think they'll have 52000 st holders anytime to be honest. The Board should fight for the fans on this one. The Broomie could be segregated if we choose to cut their allocation. Been done for other teams, as long as no fans are above opposition fans. The Rangers support could continue around from the Govan to take up front and rear couple of sections in the Broomie and segregate from there. There are far better minds that my own out there that could come up with a solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, how should we get the same percentage as them ? their stadium holds 10k extra, we both get 8,000 that's the most we're/they're ever going to get at Ibrox or their shite hole, we've been getting 8,000 since their stadium got done up in 1997/98, you're complain about us wanting more tickets then you want to see their allocation cut which will result in ours being cut also, which one is it ? can't have it  both ways.

Whichever one means we get the same percentage as them. You point out that they have 10k more capacity so we should receive more for their larger capacity than they receive for ours. My preference would be more tickets for the Bears willing to attend the piggery than to cut their allocation but if percentage is not increased to an equal amount then I believe we should cut theirs accordingly. Just looking fairness for our support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ibrox Derry 8,932 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If folk want to get involved and lead fans groups etc then that's up to them, personally it's just not for me, too much politics, Ego's kick in, and the bad side of human nature always comes to the fore. I can handle that through work etc, but i wouldn't want my love for my football club or fellow fan diminished by getting involved in such things. I do though appreciate those who put themselves forward for such things, but as I said it just ain't for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeneily 1,460 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Robert and I have had our differences over the past week or two but I believe he would be a good addition to the board. Yes he has made money from his Rangers association with his pubs but that just proves he is a good businessman which is something the board will need and I'm glad he provides a place for the fans to gather which has a proud association with the club instead of the politically correct yes voting trendy places. You can also tell a lot about a man by his children and Greg always comes across as a genuine respectful young man. I deal with a lot of older successful businessmen around Glasgow and they are all gruff straight talking bastards but underneath they are all decent men who wouldn't do you a bad turn and I suspect Robert is one of them and an obvious good Bear who might ruffle a few feathers if he is on the board of Club 1872 but I'm sure that he would always put the club first.

You are hardly sticking up for fans by fighting with everyone on here now Do you mean taking a midden like the old stadium bar and turning into The quintessential Rangers supporters pub? The Louden Tavern. If you are serious you should have a good talk to yourself. There are thousands of Rangers Supporters would disagree with you and on a business prospective, they are the ones that are important to me. Our family have invested a lot of money into this .
