Is there actually a reason for it? This means we have two “no man’s land” zones either side – lost revenue with two banks/columns of empty seats and extra security for each area. Also, how often is the corner actually full? And it is very visible on TV. Why not move the Union Bears there permanently? Provide them with “appropriate facilities” like a wee sound system, boards for messages, bevvy, whatever they need to get the atmosphere going –you never know, it might even spread either side of them. Then the away support could be stuck where the UB currently are. No empty seats required to one side of them (although a netting system could be put in place) and their allocated columns of seating could be reduced/increased as required, depending on what club (I’m sure Inverness could fill two columns of the lower section of the BR). This would also reduce the away supports TV exposure – after all, it’s Ibrox, our home. I couldn’t imagine any club needing anything like the full capacity of the lower BR stand other than the PD O’Philes, so we would only need to give them the lower section with a few columns of “no man’s land” between them and the UBs. Segregation is easier there. Not just seats but turnstiles, food stalls, bogs. Probably also means we can't accidentally drop cups of piss on them if they were for instance in BF1. Lots of operational factors that we're not really aware of I'm sure. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,506 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 tbh the board missed a trick here, when the request was put into Rangers by, im guessing ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ, Rangers should have contacted the tarriers and said that ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ want entry early for a display but to keep ourselves correct we'd need images and identities of the ones that did the display at the midden earlier this season Not a chance they would give us this info, so we call them out on it, tell the world that the fenians wouldnt release info about criminals to us CoatbridgeBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple and effective. Thats no a bad idea actually. I usually hate banners that aren't about us. But small truthful banners reminding them of their dirty deeds are good If you think a child is in immediate danger. Don't delay – call the police on 999, or call us on 0808 800 5000, straight away.

Agreed .. well I like flags - but proper flags like Union flags, Ulster flags etc. We have proven loads through the decades and recently that we don't need stupid red, white and blue cards and tifo flags getting waved about to make a spectacle. After we done the Union flag display one against Porto they should have been stopped with the exception of the Armed Forces days at Ibrox as it wouldn't be topped. Take a look at any old game against them at Parkhead or Hampden for example and see thousands of Bears with the proper flags/colours of our country and in fine voice. Now it's ultra's trying to out-do each other with crap to be honest. I know I'm sounding like a miserable cunt as they're only making some noise and colour but I've thought for years they are inadvertently killing it instead.

They had the corner and bf5/4. They wanted more tickets but the way the segregation works Rangers told them they would need to buy an extra 2 sections, BR5/4 from memory. Dundee knew they wouldn't sell that many so didn't take them. It's why the tarriers will never be put in the club deck. It's impossible to police outside the ground.

Although I completely agree, there was a time when away fans were in BF1 so it was acceptable then. I can't remember when it even changed to the corner, was it just when they were filled in?
