Old Firm allocations - "issues resolved"

That's if you turn down a seat in another part of the stadium that guarantees the games.

I know.

The club will already know how many non ST seats they have available so why the caveat?

It reads to me like the folk who don’t move will get priority on Seat sub list which is bullshit.

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

So you actually think everyone who wants a ticket for the OF games will get one?

Buying your ST and thinking the allocation would never change is naive. 

Probably, but it’s also naive to think it ends here.

I’ll give it two years and they’ll have full Broomloan.

I genuinely do if the club have done it correctly. There was no issue at 8,000, I can’t see an issue with about 1,700 moves, particularly with the new addition in the Copland.

It won’t seem like it, but like it was when it was 8,000 I think people would be surprised by how many turn the old firm option on the season ticket renewal down like they did back then.

I’d be really surprised if it ever changes from this now, if it goes back to the 8,000 the club would probably lose the trust of a lot of supporters.

I hope you're right but doubt it.

And fans media have confirmed from the club already that we're not guaranteed tickets so the club know there's an obvious risk.

Just for clarity, you think option 1 of renewing seats without old firm is a good idea because there’s a good chance would get a ticket elsewhere in the ground anyway?

Rangers cut c....c's allocation to 800 in 2018 because of record ST sales under Stephen Gerrard . 

I'm not sure why you think its naive to think that demand for STs would not have been maintained through the years , particularly after these last few months .

They weren’t taking any tickets at all and demanding netting etc was installed before they would accept. 
 

it was all a ruse as they wanted full allocations back.

We now have it that the SPL and Sky (no laughing at the back) have stepped in and asked that allocations be provided and it’s now ‘Euro allocations’.

It will kick off again at some point next season or season after at latest, they’ll refuse tickets citing safety and errrm SPL and Sky will interject again and it will be full allocations again.

I agree, there is no way that the Bears would tolerate what would be a humiliating climb down to Them, besides it is one thing pissing off and relocating a few hundred season ticket holders, another matter entirely pissing off and trying to relocate several thousand season ticket holders unless there are imminent plans to significantly increase the capacity that we have not heard of.

For supporters in Copland front and now the affected Broomie sections the loss of trust is well underway.

They're going from 800 to 2.5K.  With segregation also needed in the BR it won't be miles off a couple of thousand being affected with this current shite.

I think there will be enough seats in the rest of the stadium to accommodate. I’m hanging my hat on Rangers doing the correct thing on that regard though. I’d be really surprised and annoyed if they have agreed to this knowing they cannot accommodate all the potential movers.

Again agreed, which is probably why the Club has agreed to this, as I said earlier, different matter if we were locking out thousands of season ticket holders to accommodate that Scum. Bad enough that is seems that kids ST's will miss out with this deal,  so there is no way that a return to the old allocation will be acceptable to the Club IMHO.

Surely that means choice of seats 

If there's 50 spare seats and 1500 wanting them then that's still 1st come 1st served for the lucky 50. 

The number of available seats don't guarantee ST holders a brief. Stevie Clifford has confirmed that.

Are they not looking for around 1700 seats . That's quite a lot if so . 

Edit . Maybe more with the No Man's Zone .
