BEARGER 1,830 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 How many tickets are we obliged to give visiting fans? Is there a SPFL rule to cover this? Reason I'm asking is that John Gilligan replied to a question about them at Ibrox that the more ST's we sold the less seats available for them. Now I'm not sure that is correct due to the fact that family section ST's did not give entrance to Celtc games and Broomie is given over to them. All assuming we go up this year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,830 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 http://spfl.co.uk/docs/067_324__therulesofthespfl_1375800603.pdf Page 72 clause 126 onwards. Seems that John Gilligan was correct. Sell out Ibrox next season and keep them out or or at least in corner. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think it's only in cup games where the percentage of tickets to opposing fans is set? League games can be set by the home team, we traditionally had a gentleman's agreement with them that we got mutual numbers at each others ground. The rules on that might be changed now though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was asked at the RST AGM re them getting whole Broomie and we get a corner at San Giro. So let's hope there will be changes next season, first we have to sell enough to ST"s but hopefully it's a new era. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I would give them minimum tickets, put them in the corner where opposing fans go, no more no less tickets than say Queen Of The South fans. Keeps their terrorist glorification to a minimum as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we sell enough ST's they will have to act accordingly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,320 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 It would be great if this happened. I think we'd need to do something unexpected, like win the Scottish cup, to get people out and buying tickets in the numbers required. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 How many tickets do we get for Celtic Park, is it not 7000? That's just over 10% of their capacity. Ibrox holds less so Celtic fans should theoretically get less but the same percentage of Ibrox capacity. They should get about 5500. We've always been very fair to them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,376 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Problem is loss of revenue have seen time and again this season the section next to the visiting support being left empty so although it hurts to allow them so many tickets it should bring in much needed cash. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
