QOS: Police Restrict Away Fans For Ibrox

Rangers Away Match Tickets

 

Over the last few days we have been trying to firm up arrangements for our trip to Ibrox to play Rangers on Saturday 30th August. Both clubs had presumed that we would receive the same allocation of approximately 1,700 tickets that Hearts received for their opening weekend fixture at Ibrox. However, due to problems in segregation at that match, the police have unfortunately insisted that the away support allocation at Ibrox for the rest of the League season is to be less than 1,000 tickets. This is obviously very disappointing for us as a club and is unlikely to be sufficient tickets to satisfy demand from our supporters. We took 1,500 to Ibrox two years ago for a midweek Ramsdens Cup tie.

 

In accordance with our published Supporter`s Charter, these tickets will be offered to Season Ticket Holders in the first instance and only then, if any remain, to general sale. It is worth noting that we have slightly more season ticket holders than we have tickets for this fixture so although it is likely that any season ticket holder who wants one will be able to buy a ticket, we cannot guarantee it.

Surely, a pretty simple piece of administration is required by our club to accommodate any away supporters in the Championship?

 

Just how bad is it in the Laager?

Poor show all round.

 

How on earth can Ibrox not safely house 1700 away fans?

 

A handful of decent bouncers could handle that but Police Scotland can't???

 

Ridiculous, more power games I'm afraid. Someone's uniform is making them feel awfully important and clever.

 

It's a pity he/she is neither.

That story doesn't ring true in any way.

The police/stewards put a line of personnel down each side of the away support. Why would that be any more difficult for two sections than it is for one section?

Sounds strange.
