Popular Post Real Ranger 2,772 Posted May 19 Popular Post Share Posted May 19 After having almost every possession thrown in bins, from phone chargers to any liquids by the Seville polis, once inside the ground our entire section had one kiosk in operation. It took 30 minutes in a queue only to discover they had run out of water. With the temperature hitting 30 degrees supporters resorted to drinking out of the taps in the bogs, that was until the taps stopped working. The stadium was unfit to hold a major final in every way. shandy, Copland bear, The true baller and 27 others like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BouncyBluenose87 1,331 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Personally I didn’t have any issues with the final being held there pre kick-off. What I do object to though is supporters having electrical items binned by the Spanish coppers that were pre-approved by UEFA/Rangers and the understaffed and understocked kiosks. The organisers/catering company have known for around a week that the weather was going to be hot during the game, so how difficult can it be to order enough bottles of water and juice? Complete disregard for health and safety of supporters but reckon hee haw will be said or done about it. Just lots of finger pointing with regards to who shoulders the blame. mearns loyal, DiamondDan and Ayrshire Blue like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoRomeo 51 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It really was a disgrace. Same story as everyone else. Power banks and sun cream taken by the uefa folk once into the stadium. That pissed everyone off straight away but fuck it shrug it off, let's just grab some food and water before the game starts.... nothing left. Went from all kiosks being open to 1 open and pretty much nothing available. 35 degrees and hadn't had a drink for at least 3 hours, we were then given a plastic cup and told to drink from the taps and we really had no choice until they turned the water off. I've never had an experience like it for all the wrong reasons Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DiamondDan 1,351 Posted May 19 Popular Post Share Posted May 19 It was like a 3rd world country. I was at the Euros at Wembley last summer and listened to Sky and TalkSport slaughter the operation at Wembley after some England fans broke down a barrier. We do not know we are living in this country when that's all we have to complain about! That last night was a threat to people's lives. If people had collapsed did anyone see any paramedics? There better be a formal complaint submitted by the club as it was a shambles from start to finish.

rbt1548 1,473 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 From security to the catering it was shocking, the stadium itself was filthy. Got searched by police going asked what had in bag, told him, including power bank and suncream and he pointed and told me to go over to a police woman to show, she didn't want to know and told me, in her best passed of Spanish to just go! No consistency in the item being not allowed in. There was a lassie on our flight back with no passport as they tossed it with other stuff in the bin, luckily the rep was good and was helping her through at both sides.

J-Maestro 3,183 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Just now, kanjo said: Wright starting yesterday was the Broadfoot of 2008. It's a scandal that we've not replaced Candeias as a right sided winger in three years. What's also a scandal is, despite knowing we needed a striker last summer and especially in January... we never snd opted to sign 2 mids who never play and a youth. i'll be forgiven for thinking what might have been. So disappointed as that lot were there for the taking last night. What’s that got to do with the stadium, plus Wright fucking turned up!
