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.

Correct, many of us evolve our entire lives around following Rangers home, away and in Europe.

All about a jolly boys outing though apparently.

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.

As others have said. There is zero confirmation that we will get more seats. They will reduce the allocation based on security and segregation.

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.

Sky can't force us into anything. The board need to agree to it and it looks like they have.

Make no mistake this is nothing other than a win for Celtic they've got a chunk of the Broomloan back while we will still be in daft corner at their dump.

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

Its not 5%, right now the SPFL have briefed every media organisation that its "around 5%". If we were getting 3000 tickets it would have been announced as that.

The Euro area they give teams isn't even 3000 and if the police allow that for an old firm game I will be amazed. It would have our away end directly below them for part of the section.

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.

way too much negativity on this ..... we've a treble to go for

Then maybe someone should speak to out club who have released a statement saying both clubs will be required to provide 5% of their stadia to the away team.

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.

That's not the point though. Registering in those circumstances like you mentioned, at least gave you a small chance of a ticket at Parkhead if you were in Silver. If Rangers are going to just give tickets specifically to Gold members and don't offer at least a few to Silver/Bronze like they've been doing since MyGers started then they'd need to close registration for Silver/Bronze because they aren't going to get a ticket anyway.

And Celtic were required to give us tickets earlier this season...

The Board have caved in. The communication is typically vague and hopefully to be forgotten in due course when things transpire differently.
 
Was always going to have to happen at some stage. Shit for those that have to move, but a big game needs both sets of fans. They also had to back down from their position of wanting the entire BR. Gives an opportunity for us to get back in the piggery. Probably as good a result as possible in circumstances.
 
Wonder if when the ball goes behind that pillar , the match being shown on the wee tele attached still flips to happy 11th birthday to Seamus Finbar O’mally :D , it was deliberate , B#%#%#%s that they are :mad:
 
I think k it’s a good thing to have allocations back. Voted as good.

I’d rather they were out of sight papped into the club deck. Don’t know if we have ST holders up there who would be annoyed at moving.

The other thread was a bit of a YAAAAASSS pile on, and now people are realising that 5% allocation for them was always going to affect our ST holders.

We’re now removing guaranteed sales and significant foot traffic from the two biggest games of the season, all to accommodate an away support.

It definitely sounds like the Rangers business model.

European nights are not really comparable.

given its the same amount of away fans as a maximum , how is not comparable ?

Perhaps people just want to see their team play in the biggest away game of the season, and don't care about whether they're on camera or the view from their seat?
Click to expand...
Nothing to do with being on camera. We are being told that we are getting more tickets than them. We will get 2700 max based on the allocation the bheasts give to euro teams. The rangers support will be stuck in the corner whilst that lot get premier unobstructed views when they come to our stadium.

Some don't care about their view or impact on other supporters who will miss out at Ibrox to accommodate the bheasts according to you. Great outlook that is.
 
IbroxMainStand said:
Hopefully could get raised by fan media and clarify if its 3000 tickets we are getting. If its anything less then its a poor deal from our end.

Yep 100% agree. The vague statement by SPFL basically confirms there isn't a set amount. It allows either club to be honest, to subtract seats for a variety of reason. Segregation, policing, security, access points etc. So for the SPFL to be so vague means it's open to interpretation and Celtic will intentionally reduce the 5%.

Because it's not about the numbers.

It's about the impact on our own supporters. There are no STs for Europe. We are now offering discounted STs for the League and failing to guarantee those ST holders seats for the two biggest games of the season - and this is to accommodate the away support of our only domestic rival.
