Away fans to return to the old firm games in march

My view

European allocations at both stadiums are ideal. That way our away fans get to attend our biggest domestic fixture of the calendar

And some are very sensitive to this but the harsh reality is that too many of our fans couldn’t take us being pumped by them regularly, spat the dummy hence the online petition. Wet wipes.

It was painted as their fans behaviour due to a flare thrown on etc but we’ve went to their stadium over the years and sang songs, threw an actual firework on to the park, thousands of potatoes on to the park and many threw into their main stand, missiles at their players.

The fan behaviour has happened on both sides.

The board seen it as a way to get many on board and cut the allocation.

Then their board became wet wipes and refused the small allocation hence why we ended up in the dire situation of no away fans.

Roll on March for the return of a reasonable allocation.
 
I'm all for Euro allocation, purely selfish as I won't have to move and I'm in Gold so will be in ballot for tickets for the away games.
 
It's easily workable.

My last visit to Darkhead as some of the 800 chosen few, we had to turn up 2hrs before the game and got kept in at end.

We could easily impose that on them. Net them in like what happens in the Spain and Portugal and make them turn up 2hrs before the game and keep them in an hour afterwards.
What you doing about stair access for the vast majority of bears, considering one side would be a no go?
 
Celtic cut the allocation in 1995.
Due to stadium redevelopment and it resulted in both clubs receiving around 7500-8000.

Unless I’m mistaken, there was no uproar from those running our club at the time or our fans.

The allocations of around 8,000 were then in place from 1995-2017 with no real complaints.

Trying to suggest they started this nonsensical situation by pointing to 1995 is clutching at straws I’m afraid.

The thing is if you're going to sit there and call people wet wipes and declare what you are saying is a 'harsh reality' then you should maybe be aware of actual facts instead of basing your opinion on what Celtic fans say.

Rangers fans were campaigning years before 2018 to have the allocation cut. Celtic actually set the precedent years and years ago, which, I assume, you aren't aware of considering your post absolutely reeks of you believing Celtic fan narrative that you've clearly lapped up.
 
Then proceeds to post a load of witless pish straight from Kerryfail.
In your opinion.

I fail to see how anyone can claim otherwise. Reasons of wiping noses on corner flags, tying a scarf to the goalposts.

Really?

It’s straw clutching to try and deflect from the real reason we cut their allocation, all on the back of an online petition that anyone could have signed.

It was the same capacity as previously. So why the difference in allocation?

So, basically, because Murray rolled over and accepted it whilst the Yahoos are devious, two-faced bastards who find a grievance in everything, we should give in to them? Yeah, that makes sense.
 
Barring one guy on here i don't see anyone else asking for the return of thr 8000? Think almost all of the away regulars on here and who you talk to on the buses are wanting a 2.5k compromise which gladly we'll be getting come March.
Celtic want the full Broomloan back.

Any 'compromise' will be the first step in them getting what they want.

They'll use their acolytes in the media to play some safety BS that they're doing just now and the only way to solve it will be to go back to pre 2018 allocations.

I don't know how people can't see this. They're responsible for no away fans, not us. As I said previous if they're given an inch they'll want a mile.

Campaigning for years?

I’ve been a ST holder for over 30 years and have been going to the piggery since the mid-90’s and other than the odd posting on FF demanding a review of the allocations, absolutely no one else on RSC’s, mates I go to games with etc had ever suggested so.

I’m keen to hear where all this campaigning was done and by who?

And again, suggesting they started this in 1995 is just nonsense and wasn’t even a consideration by our board in 2017

Are you honestly claiming they started it in 1995 and that was part of the reason we reduced theirs in 2017?

Post 562 from a knowledgable bear suggests we started the reduction in 1979 which kind of blows your theory out of the water.

We actually reduced our capacity hence the reduction in their allocation - which suggests how knowledgeable you are. They didn't reduce their capacity but still reduced our allocation.

Do you understand the difference?
 
If there was going to be tickets we would have heard about it by now. Will probably remain as no away fans for the last 2 games then more excuses next season.

Financially there is no benefit to either board for bringing back away allocations and Sky couldn't care less about Scottish football these days anyway.

I guess, for thinking people, the question is - why is the demand for allocations rooted in the 2017 model and not, say, 1995, or 1987, or 1978?

The game is 52 days away.

So far all we know is there will be away fans at Old Firms.

There has been ‘uproar’ since Rangers supporters were shoved into a corner and given thousands of restricted view tickets. While we accommodated those paedo enabling scum mentally challenged bastards in the Broomloan displacing thousands of season ticket holders
 
I am assuming the authorities have warned that mob that they must stick to the rules and away tickets must be given or there will be consequences.
I am sure they will not want to look that they are not in control of one of their member clubs and are ready to punish the scum if they backtrack again.
 
On the contrary, I couldn't go to the game and watched it on TV, and felt the content was diminished as a spectacle, because I couldn't see Celtic fans on the TV (said no one ever)
Is the content diminished as a spectacle when your watching Rangers v fhilth games at the cesspit on TV because you never see any Bears during these games.
 
do people actually think those over at kiddiefiddler St are debating about giving Rangers a larger allocation so they will get a bigger numbers at Ibrox?

They don't think that way, they'll want a larger allocation and any concession towards the Rangers will be grudging and at the best the very least that they can get away with. Its a one way street with that lot, they want everything, believing for some reason that they are entitled to demand and be granted whatever they want.

Any talk with that lot should be done with the expectation that they will renege on any promises made and play the victim at every opportunity.

Sup with the devil with a very long spoon.
 
Jan 2nd was a brilliant atmosphere, I go to watch Rangers, not to hate opposing fans. I can do that without having to look at them or listen to them
Always better with two sets fella. Automatically raises the noise when you're getting it up someone else.

Also the atmospheres when the home team is losing with no away fans is beyond tragic if you're want to go back and use the dates when we lost.
 
Clearly not.

Being put into a ballot for a ticket elsewhere in the ground is effectively giving up your seat for a Celtic fan.

I respect your opinion and well done for sticking with it on this thread. However, I take comfort in the fact that it is the opinion of the minority.

Of note, I am not against away fans for this fixture. The current allocation, whenever Celtic feel compelled to honour it, is plenty. Under no circumstances should the Broomloan see a return to the old allocation.
This is how I feel on the matter. ^^^
I can respect some of our fans want to attend every Rangers game. But that lot aren't special and they should be offered the same allocation as every other team in this league. Their disgusting antics, and behaviour over the years makes me not want them to be in our stadium at all.

Uproar. Nonsense

I’ve been to their ground many times and only on here is there such a noise made about restricted view or the other favourite “can’t see us on tv”.

Many that go to parkhead often enjoyed going into that corner as it always seemed to be the rowdiest part of our away allocation.
 
Back in the day they got the Broomloan, half the Main Stand and the old West Enclosure - we got 17-20K at Parkhead including the East terrace and part of the main stand

Then both teams started selling more Season tickets that included sections that were previously away sections. So allocations were withdrawn.

Hands up if you would be prepared reduce to a season ticket that didn't include OF games? If no, why should anyone else?
 
No it’s not. It’s like a game against Hibs or Motherwell. Old Firm games need opposition fans .In fact the atmosphere at every game is improved by a big away support.
The atmosphere on January 2nd was one of the worst in recent times, except the 2 /3 minutes after we scored
