You're lucky if you get 500 match going away fans with a ticket to their place these days, that's not catering to our away fans at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say NO!!! They get offered the same as usual about 800 maximum. I'd rather we catered for our own fans than for an odious club of anti-British, republican morons. If it was up to me I'd give them zero. Nothing more can be said than this mate. They will need us more than we need them and it's time we cut this verminous club loose. Almost every best atmosphere we have had are against European teams. Who wants to give these morons a ringside seat to spew their filth.

I was looking at the difference between euro and smaller allocations. See if we go euro allocations we are also catering for Rangers fans. And if we do want to cater for Rangers fans, then there’s the argument that by having Euro allocations we are catering for our more loyal of our fans who want to follow us everywhere. Why should they be deprived of following us to such games? There is, of course, the argument that by giving them less, or none, we let more fans see at least one games against them each season. So, in my mind the euro allocation gives us the balance between the two points of view. More Rangers fans get to see us Ibrox, but the opportunity to see us at their place still exists.

Can't understand why we'd 'negotiate' with them the now either. Start next season with the first Old Firm at their place and see where it goes. Wouldn't put it past the beasty bastards to agree to an allocation for Ibrox only to cut it at Parkhead citing pish with 0 punishment following. scottyscott1963, MacBoyd and SeparateEntityMyArse 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a game at the Piggery, which could be massive in the run for the league, trying to get fans in for that is absolutely the right thing to do, as much as it’s a low amount Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Sanchez 25 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’d give them something in the Euro allocation region at most, on the basis it was reciprocated with no chance of it being withdrawn. Me and many others lap up going to the piggery away end to give it laldy. If it boost our chances of returning then I’d be happy to compromise.

OrangeRab 2,907 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Tbh think a lot of this attitude is recency bias which is fair enough because we’ve largely been shite. But struggle to imagine many fans who have seen us win at the Piggery in the pre demotion years. Be anti having a large away support.
