Official Compromise reached over Old firm ticketing - SPFL announcement

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

Or…
We’re trying to give our team the best chance it has at winning at the piggery. Shock horror I know.

But just for the record…we’ve won one game there since the allocations were reduced.

Then that's a case of the players being shite on the day and in some cases cowards!

 

[bluetonic]

It's obviously been the plan from the outset and was the real reason for moving union bears

Why would it be?, as BF1 is unaffected with this new seating arrangement

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Another controversial Good Friday Agreement

 

[Class of 72]

Quick one I’m just curious.
Is it good or bad?
Please no undercover taaigs voting

 

[BertsEBT]

Why is it always the people who don’t go home and away saying the club have been spineless?

It’s the travelling fans who have told the club this is the best thing to do and they’ve listened.

And shafted some of our ST holders at the same time

 

[RH-Ibrox]

Brilliant news for our away support. This game should always have away fans

 

[Pentasa]

I can’t believe folk genuinely care if our fans are on tv or not.

Probably due to the fact that when folk are watching a Rangers home game they'd rather not be subject to 90mins of Sky focusing on their fans and their IRA'oke

 

[Kinghornloyal]

The Ibrox Euro away area is around 2600 for teams taking the full section.

OK so it's not 5% then tale.off segregation. If that's the rule then we will get the full 3000 or so seats. Segregation shouldn't affect ticket allocation

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Why is it always the people who don’t go home and away saying the club have been spineless?

It’s the travelling fans who have told the club this is the best thing to do and they’ve listened.

Or it’s ST supporters who have now learned they are not guaranteed to attend the two biggest games of the season.

Happy with Bisgrove today?

 

[jigster]

Will just have to leave it that I don't understand your reply then mate after re reading.

Unsure how percent of games attended relates to my point about giving up your seat for a Celtc fan to get into the stadium.

You said a displaced Rangers fan should get a seat from Those who argued for change and I agreed with you , I'm not sure what's hard to understand as I already miss home games due to work

 

[AlbertaBlue]

So 5% = 2500 for them and 3000 for us.

“Around” 5% means 2500 for both
It’s still good news though.

 

[55&Beautiful]

We get by sounds of it still restricted view tickets and they get prime view ... thats not a good deal

 

[bud_light]

Why is it always the people who don’t go home and away saying the club have been spineless?

It’s the travelling fans who have told the club this is the best thing to do and they’ve listened.

Common sense at last

 

[Bknowe]

Step 1 completed for the poets and our spineless board have capitulated. That mhob will start playing their daft games again and before you know it they have the full Broomloan back.

Some of our own fans helped as well.

'I'm alright Jack as long as I get a ticket for the Chamber of Secrets'. While others have to move to accommodate yahoo fans.

The amount of people who couldn't see the wood for the trees.

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

If current ST holders in that area aren't guaranteed a ticket elsewhere then that's bang out of order

 

[deBoersHeader]

Why is it always the people who don’t go home and away saying the club have been spineless?

It’s the travelling fans who have told the club this is the best thing to do and they’ve listened.

Because I'm now at risk of not seeing an Old Firm next season.

Are you deliberately choosing not to see that?

 

[Class of 72]

We get by sounds of it still restricted view tickets and they get prime view ... thats not a good deal

There is NO WAY our board got a deal in our favour .So naive it’s unreal. I’m sick of them already. Utter cucks

 

[Kinghornloyal]

Why would it be?, as BF1 is unaffected with this new seating arrangement

Because the potential increase in Singing section etc means they couldn't be expanded along the Broomloan and be next to Celtic fans.

 

[Mermaid]

If it’s 5% then fair enough. If we can move people they can move people. My main concern is that our season ticket holders that are being moved are properly taken care of. I suspect as mentioned by a previous poster that Sky have had some influence.
Wouldn’t trust Celtic, SPFL or Sky just hope our board have the balls to stand their ground and sort this properly and fairly.

 

[dunn1872]

No it doesn’t as long as everyone has registered and bought the average offered in their tier then they are getting the same points as those above them for away games.

But if you're only leaving it for people in Gold then obviously people aren't going to register. Rangers would need to remove registration for Silver and Bronze if it was only Gold members that get to go.

 

[BSPECIAL]

Did we really agree or were we just told that's what was happening. You never know with our board. Should have said NO

 

[GR3RFC]

That's interesting. You got a source for that?

Highly doubt you will find any public comment from Sky on the issue but from their perspective the game is undoubtedly less of a compelling 'product' for neutrals across the UK if it's home supporters only, so them having some say on this privately wouldn't be a huge surprise give that let's face it these games are what they are paying for.

 

[Kinghornloyal]

If current ST holders in that area aren't guaranteed a ticket elsewhere then that's bang out of order

They aren't.

 

[NHAMPTON_BEAR]

'I'm alright Jack as long as I get a ticket for the Chamber of Secrets'. While others have to move to accommodate yahoo fans.

The amount of people who couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Negotiation is not our strong point - if Sky forced us into to this, then there is limited room for negotiation. However, if this is just an spfl play, why comply? They’ve done f””” all with Celtic giving us zero?
If we were smart, then we’d play the long game and move them to the club deck and put netting in etc. This should be our end game from this, not to have them front and centre for everyone to see them.

 

[nelster]

The Ibrox Euro away area is around 2600 for teams taking the full section.

Why is it always the people who don’t go home and away saying the club have been spineless?

It’s the travelling fans who have told the club this is the best thing to do and they’ve listened.

So that’s 5.1%(2600) for Celtic, 4.5% for Rangers (2700).

Great, eh.

We will receive parity, at some stage, probably in other peoples lifetimes.

Will we move the away section further along and bring them down to 2286 (4.5.%) ? Damn right we should and recover some of BR4 that will be empty rows.

 

[Davie Weir]

Did we really agree or were we just told that's what was happening. You never know with our board. Should have said NO

Why?

Plenty are in favour.

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

I think it’s a decent compromise I’m not for the old allocation due to our view at game compared to theres at Ibrox but now both similar and it seems good atmosphere when the allocation at European nights

 

[Papasmurf]

Can guarantee even those greeting about it will bite the ticket offices hand off if they get an offer.

Many won’t

 

[Kurt Russell]

Exactly. The European supports are not actively hostile mutants who will stoop at nothing to cause harm to Rangers supporters. There is a world of difference between 2.5k Rapid Vienna fans and 2.5k animals.

How much harm are 2.5k of them going to do to us? They'll still be vastly outnumbered by bears.

It'll be bears visiting the piggery who will be at risk, but the vast majority attending will be aware of this and know how to handle themselves.

I hate the bastards and I have sympathy for the argument of prioritising Rangers ST holders over them, but people need to stop acting like big jessies who are scared of the big bad mentally challengeds.

 

[julian candy]

I can’t believe folk genuinely care if our fans are on tv or not.

Well one of the biggest arguments put forward for a bigger allocation was that the "spectacle" had been diminished, so it's a valid point.

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

Means they get a day out on the piss for away games. Simple as that really.

It’s folk who go support the club everywhere, every week who’ll be over the moon. It’s not just a “day out on the piss”.

I get people have their opinions but your comment is just silly.

 

[westwoodrsc_gm]

Anyone who thinks it’s bad simply doesn’t go to away games.

Common sense has prevailed and I can’t wait to go back there at the start of next season

 

[IbroxMainStand]

OK so it's not 5% then tale.off segregation. If that's the rule then we will get the full 3000 or so seats. Segregation shouldn't affect ticket allocation

We should have pushed for 3000 unrestricted tickets minimum across the SPFL. Would have given us an advantage as we would have got 3.5 to 4k there including all the restricted view. Under this "deal" the board have struck we will be lucky to get 2.5k.

 

[yosser hughes]

Could they reference to new turnstiles and netting mean they are going main stand side of the broomie ?

no , see the references to BR5&4,BF5&4, that's where they are going

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Could they reference to new turnstiles and netting mean they are going main stand side of the broomie ?

No. They are getting put in the corner where the Euro allocation is.

My brother is in BR1, he’s already received an email confirming the changes won’t effect him.

 

[Kinghornloyal]

You have just made that up. If its 5% then it's 3000 tickets. Segregation doesn't take away from tickets.

 

[1BadMouse]

Should have been the corner only

Disgusting some ST holders are having too move to accommodate the filth

 

[Canada Bear]

According to Stevie at 4 Lads, club will be writing to you soon to give you some options, including a permanent seat move. Anybody with ST’s in the affected section not guaranteed OF games apparently.

Well if that’s the case, no more journeys for me. Although capacity 50K, ST46K, all ST holders should get a seat.

 

[nelster]

Nobody receives 3000 at Celtic for UEFA

Its 2700 maximum. Posted earlier.

[Matthew]

But if you're only leaving it for people in Gold then obviously people aren't going to register. Rangers would need to remove registration for Silver and Bronze if it was only Gold members that get to go.

In the season just passed if someone registered for even one match they got the 5 points.

If someone chooses not to register for all and receives no tickets as a result so not getting the 10 points for away tickets over a season. Then that really is on them and no one else.

 

[DJ Blue]

They were previously offered 800 and they refused as they were too scared, they will continue to push for more.

Either put up a pole in from them to give them a shity view or dump them at the top of the Club Deck to get them out of sight with a net to protect the Bears below them.

 

[muttley]

Really disappointed in this, tbh. I won't say anything else.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

I don't think it's right that some of our fans may miss the games.

However to play devil's advocate if they can all be accommodated should we also try and come to an agreement with Hibs, Hearts and Sheep as well as any other diddly clubs that have cut our allocations for their grounds?

Along the lines of they will get more if they indicate with enough notice period that they will sell them and in return we get sensible allocations for their stadiums?

 

[BillyBoys]

Brilliant. I hope they have a good one. Well worth it for the loss in revenue and our OWN supporters missing out on home OF games. Also we get the privilege of them breaking our seats and trashing our toilets. But you’re right, should be a good day out at the piggery

It will be mate, i can't wait personally.

 

[PerthRanger]

We get more tickets at their place than they do at Ibrox and it stops the inevitable discourse in the run up to OF games. That's a huge win in my book.

Then maybe someone should contact Rangers cause they seem to think we are getting 5% of seats.

 

[Porto Loyal]

We shouldn’t have climbed down to them. Means some ST holders won’t get OF tickets at Ibrox, or less STs sold

 

[DechmontLoyal]

I’m vote no. 58 and it popped up as a straight 50/50 so far

(I voted good, as the only thing better than watching us smash them at Ibrox is being there to see a victory over them in their hovel)

 

[Dashboard Jesus]

What’s the plan for the missing 300 tickets Rangers while you also get forced to create empty rows in the Broomloan Rear above them at Ibrox ?

Is this meant to be a win ? Its not even equitable.

How any of our fans can see this as a win is beyond me. Stuck in the corner (I've been there) with a shite view.

 

[Papasmurf]

That’s wrong. I know loads of folk who go to away games who think this is an awful decision
