If all goes to plan I'm sure that will happen on December 30th. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bluedell 5,624 Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 It's not rocket science for the committee to conclude that a reasonable allocation would be the same allocation that every other team receives, and the same as we got the last time we got tickets there. To not reach that conclusion means you have an agenda and that you set out determined not to rule against celtic. There is no fair outcome to this other than to keep out opposing fans. The 800 solution is unfair as Rangers fans have a restricted view and are stuck out the way of the TV cameras, but it's the one that our club could live with, but it seems that Celtic will not accept this under any circumstances, probably because they know that this is the least advantageous to their club. The European allocation still has the issues that the 800 solution has, results in a lot of unused seats and has potential segregation problems. It's forced on the club for some European games but it's not one that the police would be happy with. It also means a lot of Gers fans being moved from their seats. It's also been suggested that Celtic wouldn't accept this anyway, so no point in proposing it and weakening our position. The full stand solution is a non starter. We sell too many season tickets and why would the club sacrifice our fans and much needed income upfront to be Celtic's bitches and accommodate them? Again this solution favours celtic given the relative positions of the support in the grounds. I know some fans are willing to bend over and give celtic everything they want so that they have a chance of attending Parkhead but our club and our season ticket holders would suffer more and I don't think we should entertain the idea. I accept it's an emotive subject and I probably wouldn't go to the games so I'm not losing out if there's no away tickets. I wonder what my view would be in the 90s when I went to every game we had at Parkhead, including that unforgettable evening in 99. I really don't know but as things stand I've got no issues with not hearing their sectarian bile at Ibrox. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious Celtc are pushing for the full stand, so our board have to do the right thing and stand firm. Give them 800 or nothing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,721 Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 So with them not giving Rangers tickets, does that mean we don't need to give any away fans tickets? or them for that matter!. Either way keeping them out of Ibrox is what Rangers should do! feck them!. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in principle but think offering them the same we offer the other clubs gives us the upper hand, which might prove advantageous if the dispute comes to a head. Their shite about safety concerns just makes them look silly. Edited December 20, 2023 by Gonzo79 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,030 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I used to love my visits to their place and mostly left after giving them a jolly good thumping as well . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 It seems clear to me that Rangers should continue offering corner tickets to Celtic, knowing full well that they won't accept them and won't reciprocate by offering us a similar allocation at the piggery. That way, we are seen to treat all clubs equally while Celtic play petulant games and the outcome is there will be no away fans at OF games - which suits us fine. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what Scottish football did to our club I don't care a jot what any other club thinks! including SPFL/SFA. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
