16BlueSherbert90 19,175 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 SFA to block Rangers slashing celtic ticket allocation for Scottish Cup clashes at Ibrox Ian Maxwell won’t allow Rangers to lock celtic supporters out of Ibrox if the feuding neighbours collide in next season’s Scottish Cup. Rangers have promised to cut celtic’s ticket allocation from 8000 to just more than 800 for league matches on their own ground next season. In a tit-for-tat move celtic threatened to take similar action when Steven Gerrard’s side travel across the Clyde. But under SFA rules, visiting clubs are entitled to 20 per cent of available seats for Scottish Cup ties. Which would mean both clubs could demand more than 10,000 tickets for their fans should they be pulled out of the hat together before the semi-finals. And Maxwell has no intention of endorsing a lockout on away fans as he attempts to land a bumper TV deal for next season’s competition. He said: “There is guidance in the rules, a minimum percentage.

Popular Post To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 Fair enough. That rule has been in place for as long as I remember. Don't see how it would affect a bumper TV deal though ( as if the powers that be in this country could actually pull off such a deal).

Popular Post rfc1990 1,140 Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 No one from Rangers has ever said this, it's common knowledge that teams have to get a certain percentage of tickets for Cup games.

'Maxwell stressed that he had known Rangers directors Stewart Robertson and Andrew Dickson for a long time and had a "good relationship" with them. "I speak to them regularly," he said. "The relationship with Rangers is absolutely fine.' As you say, Rangers mentioned nothing about cup games just season tickets so there is no 'ban' as there has never been any intention to go against the current rules. Anything to make a negative story by that utter waste of a carbon based life form. He is an absolute clown who gets more irrelevant with every utterance.

That's not entirely true, Willie; in fact, there was a story which unfortunately half of it was edited out by the fucking idiots who published it. The REAL story should have read: Rangers chairman Dave King has kicked so many Tarrier arses the past few weeks, we had to make up this bullshit to appease our readers.

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Since when has season tickets included Scottish cup games. Why is there such a need to appease the scum fans, I know their a group of deluded wankers but even the £50 mill for dumbele is less fictional than this shite. eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The dumbasses who shuffle down to their newsagent every morning to buy this rhag wont know any better. Its why they still buy this or similar every day. Anyone with an ounce of savvy knows this rule, that it is often done in consultation with police and that instead of them getting 10k at Ibrox and us getting 12k at the phiggery it will fall into line as the allocation it’s always been. No one has stamped their foot down. This is just sensationalism for the guy who buys his rolls and paper with his slippers on.

If so it will explain the anti-Rangers slant. After all the ticket allocation works both ways. Wee cunt is obsessed with us.
