ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 We Are The People need to beat the traffic, nobody wants to be stuck on the motorway (freeway) trying to get home, i know if i go to ibrox i leave after the final whistle and let me tell you, its murder trying to get home. When I go its a 16 hour round trip... when i go its a 2 day trip.. Wake up at 6 Ferry over to ulapool - 3 hours 5 hour drive to Glasgow Stay over night. Game that day. Up at 6 day after drive up to inverness 3 and a half hours hour to ulapool ferry back over 3 hours 14 hour boat trip to Aberdeen 3 hour drive to Glasgow Go to the game stay overnight in Glasgow 3 hour drive back to Aberdeen 14 hour boat trip back If I had a job where I didn't have to work Saturdays I would do it every week I'm down for the Werder game on Thursday, but I'm working until 4 on Wednesday, Ferry's at 5pm, off the boat at 7am and then hanging about Aberdeen waiting for the supporters bus. Down to the game and back to Aberdeen the same night. I'm gonna be fucked Still undecided about the Werder Bremen game.. Yeah same, Dad works offshore so get to a few more games now than i usualy would! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Again, if they pay their money then they can do what they want. But...as I've said before, I understand people who leave early at night games, because the transport in and around Ibrox for people outside of Glasgow is fucking horrendous. I do NOT understand people leaving a tight 3pm kickoff early, especially when we get to laugh at the Aberdeen scum at the final whistle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 My 'lift's' wife is pregnant and so leaves early at the moment, I leave at the same time. Simple. 86th minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadaready 9,437 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Unless they are all heading to the RM meet then I think it is sad. If I could go to Ibrox every week I'd be there to the death... Exactly Too many people take the fact that they actually have the opportunity to go to Ibrox every week for granted. I can speak to that...I mean, the Atlantic Ocean is a formidable obstable.

Its not really their fault that they live close to Ibrox, if they so do. No point in not mentioning it, but waiting that extra 5-10 minutes for the game to finish can cost some people 45-60 mins more travel time. And they people will be thinking 'well, 85 mins of action is better than staying at home listening on the radio'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I can't see why so many leave with 10-15 minutes to go, i can understand leaving around the 88th minute or so though. At the end of the day people pay there money so can do whatever they like, Rangers don't lose any money over it and it doesn't seem to affect the team too much.

I am blaming them for pissing off before the end of the game. It has been pointed out previously on here that people used to wait outside for the gates to open in order to get in for the last 20 minutes! Changed days...

It's the fact that we have the same thread every week on this subject, becoming as mundane as me slating Boydy The club aren't losing money, which is the main thing. We don't know every single persons situation in terms of why they leave early remember, although I do agree with what you say. Imagine coming into the last 20 mins at Ibrox now!

Personally I think i stinks when a large proportion of supporters are not actually there supporting their team to the (sometimes bitter) end...staying can only help the team..leaving can never help...isn't this what a supporter is all about?

I wasn't having a go at you mate, sorry if it seemed that way. We know that people leave early, and it isn't going to change any time soon. These threads usually turn into those with disability's or so on explaining their situation, and others to take the moral high ground and have a go at other fans. I just makes frustrating reading!
