If we are sitting 3 points clear all of a sudden Celtic fans are going to turn back tickets for the game at Ibrox ?

To think they wouldn’t sell 2 and a half thousand for an old firm game is bizzarre Can they not sell the 800 offered? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 3,395 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Obviously the last 15 years have been shite. But any fan who has been to an away game there and seen us win - I’d be surprised if it wasn’t in their top Rangers memories. It’s just fucking class I want as many of our fans as possible to have the chance to go. Even with the Europe allocations most fans won’t get the opportunity.

I’m lost at what your point is here you said if we were top of the league and in the ascendancy Celtic would struggle to sell their tickets . They wouldn’t they sold out their allocations all throughout the 90s and early Advocaat years just like we were still selling out our piggery allocation In the Warburton, Pedro and Murty years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it in my head it was other way around. I don’t think there has been anything unusually dangerous with reduced numbers. There is always the possibility of something being thrown (even with full Broomy allocation some dick could decide to lob something from another stand and vice versa) so point still stands that IMO it is unsubstantiated pish they are throwing out to try and paint us in a bad light.

I don’t particularly want to go back to the old allocations as they were which benefited them When they got the full broomloan it meant the union bears had to be moved. We should demand we have the groin brigades corner and they get moved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently safety is an issue in the corner. How does that change if its 800 or 2.5k? They want the broomie. If we're ahead of them then given all of the above then them opting to take 2.5k in December and giving us that or more in April, after the split, makes no advantageous sense for them.

Happens plenty elsewhere is Europe and seriously doubt that it would change that much if increased to European level allocation. Totally understand it is pish for those going to the game but the police are probably happy with it as it reduces the hassle for them having two sets of fans mingling. There is obviously a tipping point where it becomes unmanageable but say if tomorrow both clubs agreed to 1700 each I think the police would still insist on early attendance.

I am sure this was stated by the Police when Rangers first raised the issue of reducing ticket numbers. They can police the seating area but cannot segregate the concourse as they would need too many men. They also will not allow one set of fans to have the rear and the other the front due to missiles and spitting from top tier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
