Official Compromise reached over Old firm ticketing - SPFL announcement

[Northampton_Loyalist]

Well that's not the 5% agreed but no doubt the SPFL/SFA will allow Timmy to what Timmy like

Re-read the statement. It does not say 5%, it says 'around 5%...

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

Let’s be honest, they’ll open it to all tiers

That will be the compromise. All tiers will get a ballot and so they should with a 3000 allocation

Around 1000 will end up being kept for club use out of that too

 

[GovanDerry]

At the end of the day, the manager and players have wanted more of us at the away game. They feel it helps them and that’s what we need to do as supporters.

Those unhappy with this, why are you going against what the manager and player want?

They choose not believe the players and manager said it

 

[Withambear]

Very disappointing, yet again our board have caved in and Ceptic got what they wanted

We are really good at shafting our own supporters

 

[Theoracle]

Now make Parkhead gold only

Selfishness will not be tolerated. 100 lines “I will not be selfish” other tiers deserve a chance also.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

All of a sudden Ibrox is safe again. Sorry I might be in the minority of one but I would never have let them back. They’re 100% scum.

Not sure it is the minority

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

Let’s be honest, they’ll open it to all tiers

All those who voted previously to have them banned should have no issue in rejecting their tickets anyway…

 

[Valley Bluenose]

It would impact a lot more of our season ticket holders regarding having to be relocated, permanently or otherwise, but I can't help but think it might be better if the Away area was on the BR1/BF1 side of the Broomloan Stand rather than as shown below.

[Herman]

Seems like I’m in the minority here.

Back to them having prime position where as we do not get it replicated.

Back to them wrecking our stadium regardless of the result.

Back to season ticket holders getting moved or not even getting tickets to accommodate Celtic fans.

Don’t see any positives

I agree but Sky will be happy with all the tricolours on display for the atmosphere

 

[Bluebluecee]

Wee papasmurf ok hahaha

Get it Roon ye lol

Aye great laugh his kid got deafened by a scumbag throwing a flash bang, there are some amount of clowns in our support

New away ticket allocation for matches between Celtic and Rangers from season 2024/25...

spfl.co.uk

I’ll take that , actually should be in place now , we need support when we go to their hole . West enclosure loyal

 

[BlancaBear]

Can we not move BF5 ST holders into the now vacant BF1 next season?

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

So what we thinking on how this will be balloted? Will the goal posts be moved when it comes to Rangers deciding who gets tickets for it next season?

Top down?
Ballot gold only?
Or as it is... separate Cat A ballot among all tiers?
The way things are going Parkhead will be our biggest Cat A allocation.

All tiers will be balloted just like it is for hibs and Aberdeen this season

5%, is that not what the rules of the SFA/SPFL state you are supposed to give to away fans?

Edit: Edited as now aware it is 5% for European games.

 

[Garthamlockbear]

Feel sympathy with rangers ST holders who now potentially miss out on the biggest domestic fixture. 800 in the corner should have been their limit. All to appease a certain group of fans. Just like people being moved in the Copland.

 

[Theoracle]

I see we're being made to put nets up to keep their poor wee fans safe from the big bad Rangers fans.

As they should also do.

 

[Coop1872]

The corner section at the piggery holds 2700. Take away some segregation and that will be our allocation I expect. Not one scum supporter will be affected at their ground. Meanwhile thet will get at least as many tickets for Ibrox with our supporters getting moved to accommodate them and supporters clubs/ MyGers members probably won't get any tickets at all.
And some think it's a great compromise.

 

[Careca]

At the end of the day, the manager and players have wanted more of us at the away game. They feel it helps them and that’s what we need to do as supporters.

Those unhappy with this, why are you going against what the manager and player want?

Where have they said that? In what context? Were they asked a loaded question?

 

[Blue Goose]

Dreadful decision. How quickly everyone forgets about player behaviour at our stadium and hanging effigies.

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

Can we not move BF5 ST holders into the now vacant BF1 next season?

That was earmarked for CF3 season ticket holders who are getting preference

 

[Crouchy]

Similar style scenes comes NY next season.

 

[Trafalgar]

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

It'll be 2.5k each.

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

Why are you focusing on off-field things?

When this agreement allows us to have more supporters supporting our team in our biggest away fixture?

That’s the most important thing.

We have won without fans in the stadium before.

Why you focusing on that?

 

[Ashley5518]

Great news for the away support and the fixture in general.

Now for the hassle to work out how we dish the tickets out.

With 3639 in gold and an allocation of around 3000. You would like to think the club will box this off for gold. Which means out of the 2 Parkhead trips then everyone in gold is guaranted the chance of a ticket for atleast 1 of the games.

Do you mean do a ballot for both games among gold?

 

[joseph]

The around 5% figure is £3k tickets - you can guarantee that the segregation area will eat into this around 5% allocation to bring us down to their 2.5k at Ibrox

 

[alza75]

SpFL statement says otherwise.

You don't get the rolled eyes sarcasm emoji i take it

 

[DerekSSR]

A step in the right direction this.

 

[siegeheroes13]

Wee papasmurf ok hahaha

Get it Roon ye lol

You'll be able to wear your half n half scarf now

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

I agree but Sky will be happy with all the tricolours on display for the atmosphere

100%

I miss them getting to pan up and down the Broomloan like it was the only support in the stadium…..

 

[br1ndy]

Stick them in BF1 where the UB were.

That way we don't see many of them on the tele.

 

[dh1963]

I never realised this meant some Broomloan season holders won't get in. We can't possibly defend the club if there is a single Rangers season holder told they are no longer seeing the game to allow a Celtic fan in.
Although I always thought 2500 of them would mean all season holders are accommodated, albeit some need to move seat.

 

[Crouchy]

Let’s be honest, they’ll open it to all tiers

Given the numbers who apparently disagreed and have no desire to ever attend their again, should be plenty tickets for those who wish to attend.

 

[Amato Amore]

They are saying new turnstiles and netting. Could Rangers be thinking of placing them in BF1 and over, Seeing that UB are moving.

Was wondering the same. Would make more sense and easier to police

 

[Jim Prideaux]

We have won without fans in the stadium before.

Why you focusing on that?

Because having fans increases the likelihood of us winning. Our record there has been appalling.

I probably won’t get a ticket for a number of years, definitely wouldn’t have since this nonsense was introduced but I’ve always found it weird that elements of our support focus on ‘them in our stadium’ rather than ‘us supporting our team at their stadium’

That’s before you even consider all the aspects about better atmospheres and so on, which are secondary.

 

[The Goalie]

The around 5% figure is £3k tickets - you can guarantee that the segregation area will eat into this around 5% allocation to bring us down to their 2.5k at Ibrox

then we use segregation to bring their allocation down to 2,000 and the 1st OF next season is at the piggery

 

[BrooklynBlue]

At the end of the day, the manager and players have wanted more of us at the away game. They feel it helps them and that’s what we need to do as supporters.

Those unhappy with this, why are you going against what the manager and player want?

Ah, is the Club spin for the backdown?

ST holders losing out on a game to accommodate Celtic are made to feel guilty…

 

[Davie Weir]

The around 5% figure is £3k tickets - you can guarantee that the segregation area will eat into this around 5% allocation to bring us down to their 2.5k at Ibrox

There will be large segregation at both grounds.

That’s what I read into the “around 5%”.

 

[Trafalgar]

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.

That's a fuckin disgrace. Let's hear from.the ones advocating this that no Rangers fan will suffer

 

[The People]

Does this mean season ticket holders in the broomloan stand will miss out on an old firm game ?

 

[BillyBoys]

This is a big victory for the manager, the players but mostly the regular away support.

Buzzing we have some sort of support going there twice a season and you'll be able to hear them, not the p*sh 800 in the corner and can't hear a peep.

 

[Betterintune]

Brillaint. Finally be some fuckin atmosphere at these games.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

If it’s 5%, then fine.

If it’s the same numbers at both grounds, then we’ve got a poor deal.

 

[mdingwall]

5%, is that not what the rules of the SFA/SPFL state you are supposed to give to away fans?

Think the 5% is the UEFA rule. Think in the EPL it may be 10% but not sure.

 

[As You Were]

In my experience this will have FF enraged, yet everyone on the bus and in the supporters club happy. Sensible solution all round.

 

[BlancaBear]

Very disappointing, yet again our board have caved in and Ceptic got what they wanted

We are really good at shafting our own supporters

celtic wanted to old allocations, they didn't get that, this is a fair compromise.

I was in the 800 camp for years but lately I've changed my mind and think the euro allocation is the best all round.

 

[SuperJackButland]

As they should also do.

I just read it as we will be puting nets up, didn't say they were. Just said they will have safety measures but didn't say what. We all know they like to make out we are the bad ones.

 

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

That's them got the foot in the door, couple of seasons from now they'll be pushing for 4,5 thousand and our fans still won't be seen on camera!

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

Great news for the away support and the fixture in general.

Now for the hassle to work out how we dish the tickets out.

With 3639 in gold and an allocation of around 3000. You would like to think the club will box this off for gold. Which means out of the 2 Parkhead trips then everyone in gold is guaranted the chance of a ticket for atleast 1 of the games.

Top down

 

[Betterintune]

This is a big victory for the manager, the players but mostly the regular away support.

Buzzing we have some sort of support going there twice a season and you'll be able to hear them, not the p*sh 800 in the corner and can't hear a peep.

Best game of the season going away there! Constant singing for 90 mins by everyone.

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

The statement does not state we are getting 5% away fans at each stadium. It says 'around' 5%. It is a wishy washy use of language deliberately employed to head off the argument that is obviously going to happen over the actual numbers given.
