It's a two way street mate. I'd prefer we had supporters in their dump, if anything so the team isn't in the cauldron of hatred by themselves.

Same with at Ibrox, nothing better than winning and goading all the wee fannies that have came along. Bit shit when you've no one to sing and laugh at.

Kind of dies down quicker.

 

Let them have your seat then.

We started this when covid rules required a red zone for players and staff so we locked them out as there wasn't enough room to accommodate the red zone, their away fans and out paying season ticket holders. The red zone hasn't been a requirement for ages now so how is this even allowed? Even the rules that @The Dude has posted say that there should be away fans, with the board (I'm assuming SPFL board) deciding how many if the number of away fans isn't agreed.

The opening line is pretty clear.

"The home club must make provision for the admission of such reasonable number of visiting supporters at every home league match"

How are both clubs getting away with breaching that part?

Fuck the scum, could not give a fuck about having they stinking bastards inside Ibrox, hopefully Rangers tell them it's staying that way from now on and be done with it.

Ive went to games home and away for years and always hated seeing them get the fucking full Broomloan while we got shafted at their dump with a lot of the tickets being behind a green pole. 

I got allocated a ticket there one night and for a £2 discount for being behind a pole which ruined any view of the pitch. 

They got treated far too well at Ibrox.

Having done it is there anyone on here who actually enjoys the experience of going to the paedodome,not for me .

Haven’t been since we got promoted back. Stadiums a dump and the view is shit. Always feels like the stands going to crumble when we do the bouncy. But there is something special about winning there. Some of my favourite ever Rangers wins/matches have been there.

People peddle this pish about not letting them near the stadium for what they sing/how they behave bla bla bla, it's a fucking rivalry - get thicker skin and get over it. 

"Nothing like an old firm, famous atmosphere, intensity and rivalry known all around the world - except I wouldn't let them in cause they do things I don't like"

100% this. 

The fixture's unique atmosphere has been ruined and it's our Board's fault mainly.

It probably can't go back now, not unless we make our stadium bigger, but it should never have come to this. It's spoiled the nature of the fixture. It's spoiled arguably the most distinguishable thing in Scottish football.

Used to absolutely love it before everyone was seated. Got the whole standing end and it was a massive away support roaring on the team and having a party.  Never been since it went to all seated. At some other grounds we got 3 of the 4 sides and it was  like playing at home

They are desperate to back down by all accounts.

Won't blink though, can't be seen to fold to us first, their fans would be up in arms, sharks could be injured.

[GOAT 30,449]

Rangers caused this, all because we didnae like them celebrating at ibrox cos they were pumping us left right and centre after 2016.

shambles and it’s going to ruin one of the best rivalries on the planet.

Rumoured that we're not getting any away fans at all for the next game at their dump.

Which apparently they're allowed to do because we ourselves don't honour the contractually obligated 5% of the allocation, and instead give them 1.5%

So we're now not giving them any for the last OF at Ibrox.

This tit for tat shite is ruining the derby to be honest, give them what we give teams in Europe, bigger corner of the Broomloan.

Get us our allocation back there, and stop diluting the only thing Scottish Football really has going for it.

I wouldn't give them a single ticket.  It doesn't ruin the atmosphere for me.

In your opinion.   

I would be delighted if we never had to play them ever again.

There weren't many complaints about atmosphere when we won with them locked out. Although, I'd be happy sticking at 800.

Euro allocations seem unlikely and they'll never get the full Broomloan.

Atmosphere was bang average until we scored. Even when we were winning this season it wasn’t particularly great.

Much as I don’t like admitting it, this is absolutely true. The best part of the experience for me was beating it up the bastards when we pumped them. Unfortunately, you also had to take it when it went the other way. If there’s no compromise reached soon then the fixture is greatly diminished in my opinion. And if that’s the case the whole of Scottish football is fucked. As someone suggested earlier, the allocation that the likes of Liverpool and Dortmund got might be the way to go if that’s possible.

Been to OFs where that's been the case with them having the full broomloan. Less about the numbers in the stands and more about what's happening on the pitch,

Hurts to admit, but that's exactly what happened.

Our mentally weak staff and players couldn't handle the other mob singing bad stuff when they were winning.

The counter to that is to beat the cunts and win the league.

Never understood how or why they ever got the full Broomloan in the first place?

Because we got the same amount of tickets and it was where away fans sat.

Yes and no. Before we had 20 odd thousand at parkhead at obviously it changed to 8 recently.

The game needs away fans and a middle ground is needed.

However the tarriers need to grow up in a sense too. We hear all this bring it back like it should be as it was before but anything out of that club and they don’t acknowledge us.

They say we are different but want the same as before. If they accept that it is the old firm in that sense then it might be easier.

Why do they want the same allocation at a club that supposedly doesn’t exist anymore?
