That's not the case for OF games, similar nos of free seats don't exist. MattyBlue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question should be, will the folk who have ST be given priority to the tickets that are available. How do you mean? A thought it had already said they would be getting priority?

Ignoring the fact that those seats were largely available due to ST holders not buying euro packages which obv isn't the case for OF games. Who is it you've seen that have been wanting bigger allocations who is now raging? A few on twitter and few from my RSC a have seen mate. A wasn’t meaning wide spread moaning. Just wasn’t sure what they were expecting. Personally I am delighted it’s been changed. The piggery the only game I haven’t managed a ticket for this season so looking forward to the scramble for tickets for they ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club's challenge should be to identify a temp solution ie plastic fencing that could be used if this is to be a longer term arrangement. BF1 &2 and BR1 &2 would actually have made more sense from a segregation point of view. Fuck plastic fencing. Get them in a cage, à la European style. Metal, depressing box.

As said already, pay attention to the wording. ‘Around 5%” is not the same as 5% and will be used by them to drop numbers as they see fit. Hopefully our club has the gumption to retaliate in kind.

No chance that the Hordes will stand for us getting 500 odd more tickets than they do. And of course, the vast majority of our allocation will be in the restricted view corner, tucked out of site, whilst they will have totally unrestricted view seats with great seats in the Broomloan at the expense of Rangers season ticket holders. 1500 max IMHO, but if the deal is done then we will just have to wait and see if they honour the 3000 at the first game against Them next season which will be at the Piggery.

Previously when they had the whole stand you were buying a ST already knowing you were missing out . Since then I dont think anyone foresaw anything other than them getting the corner , and you were buying your ST assuming it included all games for the foreseeable future .

It's not about naivety it's about it being shite for those affected. I’ve been in BF for over 10 years. I remember filling out the ST form to include old firm games or not. This is literally what they are going back to and instead of 8,000 it’s roughly 1,700 instead. Removed isn’t true. It’s an option, not a removal. This won’t be a problem to facilitate, just like it wasn’t when 8,000 needed moved Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ticked the box to include old firms and was never not given a ticket from Rangers. Buying your ST and thinking the allocation would never change is naive.
