BEARGER 1,830 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Missed the first 10 minutes due to our normal turnstiles being behind the security barrier. This meant that everybody in BR 4 & 5 had to enter by BR 1 & 2 entrances, creating massive queues. This was all due to the large away support, one guy told he he got an email from Rangers at 1730hrs telling him about the change. Bit late and everyone should have been informed well beforehand, poor organisation by the club. Edited December 13, 2019 by BEARGER 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,627 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yeah, you'd think that they'd be giving a bit more notice that there would be large queues. I strolled up to my turnstile at 7.30 and had the choice of 2 which were completely empty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son seen the YB fans getting a police escort from the city centre to the ground accompanied by ambulances, talk about overkill. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 There were mid-afternoon posts on other Gers sites telling fans to get to the Broomie earlier than usual. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo, I sit in BR4 and was right next to the partition in the concourse. Then as supporters came up stair no 4 they were being Directed left past bears in rues A and B continually. No thought in sending them up the stair to the right and then along their row .you are maybe talking an extra 5-1k supporters pushing past those front two rows . Now, fortunately the Bruce has been around the block now so it didn't bother her but other kids were genuinely frightened. Two cops ended up doing the stewards job. incudently, some guy got lifted for gibbing and fighting take cox plod took his flag of the railing above the scoreboard. The SS only done this when adult supporters complained, when I informed them she couldn't see they shrugged their shoulders. I have the oic to prove it but what's the point?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I believe and the SLO put out a Tweet earlier in the day. Surely it was simpler for the club to email and/or text days before the game. Anyway we are through to the last 32. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Sounds like poor planning. Communicating these things can be difficult with so many different means of communication these days but hopefully the club/SLO will learn from it and do a better job in similar situations in future. Apologies for not passing it on when I saw it on Thursday afternoon but I (wrongly) assumed those affected would already know.
