Frankie 505 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'll be genuinely interested in Greater Manchester Police's reaction if we make it to the final. They don't want a few thousand of us down there for friendlies so I wonder how they'll cope with at least 30,000 - conservative estimate only!

You can be certain that this is not a problem for a UEFA cup final - otherwise the city simply wouldn't have been given the final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalbraith 0 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 There will be no excuse for any UK Rangers fans not being there. Manchester is pretty central in the UK and easy enough to get to. The best thing that could happen is we get Zenit, they wont bring a lot of fans, maybe 10 thousand or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real answer was different. Well you probably know more than I do about such things In any case, even if every officer in manchester is available there could still be too many fans to police. If we get there you could be talking literally a million + bears descending on the city Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderhawk 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I know if we get there my whole family is going, however my youngest brother (also a season ticket holder) has his Higher English final Exam the day after the final. So it'll be a wee bit tricky for whether he wants to go and fail his test, go and leave right after full time, or miss the final for his exam.
