East Enclosure Row N 2,833 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Club website is showing only 3 seats left for Rangers v Livi on 14th September. Looks like we are on for record attendances this year? Looking back through the Souness & Smith eras, it was amazing to see that we were getting only 30k v Steaua in the European Cup, 37K v Auxerre, 34k v Grasshoppers, 38K v Boavista, 41k v Gornik, 23k v Red star Belgrade - all when we had a team bulging with international household names and a capacity of 44,500.

Moody Blue Legend 61,780 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Phoned 9am on the dot Monday morning for my Livi ticket and I was waiting 15 minutes to get through. Demand can only be a good thing. BookWorm, Copland bear, East Enclosure Row N and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclovin9091 1,405 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Probably down to the extreme interest rates in the late 80ss meaning the avg Joe couldn't afford to go as they were probably on thier arse and just about making the mortgage payments.

.Williamson. 83,130 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I expect it to be like this until we start winning titles on a regular basis again and then tickets will become easier to get again That's how it works Ozblue, WCPRANGERS1, Bearsden bear and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices for those things are a joke. Brackley 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochBear 1,613 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 IMHO it's not that surprising. During the Souness / Smith era we were used to winning trophies and the support became blase about the actual matches themselves. However we have now been starved for far far too long of a real trophy that actually matters we are crying out for success so we go in huge numbers just waiting for the day when we reach 55. Long may our support continue to turn up in huge numbers. WATP GSTQ RTID JackAlex93 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
