Official Compromise reached over Old firm ticketing - SPFL announcement

[High Society]

I'd argue the average att at Ibrox was more than just 25k in the 60s, but no matter.

Ibrox as it is just now is too small for a successful Rangers team.

But I don't see us increasing stadium capacity significantly anytime soon.

It was and it’s still never full apart from OF games or really big games.

 

[muttley]

The rangers fans who follow us everywhere and want to go to Parkhead are also laughing at the notion that people wouldn’t go to the game because of the view/not being seen on camera

The only ones laughing today are the club who've got what they wanted, and it isn't us, mate.

 

[Trafalgar]

If he were to ask ST holders affected in the Broomloan he wouldn't find his much sought after 'synergy' between the fans and club today.

We feel massively let down by the club. But as long as players and management are happy that's the main thing.

Loyal fans treated like shite again, everyone and anyone right enough

 

[High Society]

With this nonsense today, they and Sky will push for the entire Broomloan to ensure the " spectacle " returns. Its an absolute certainty.

Another negative post based on ignorance of facts. The will NEVER get the Broomloan again

 

[Barrymoped]

No, they wanted any number in the "Free Broomloan".

They wanted us to reverse the 800 allocation.

They have now got what they wanted.

If any Rangers supporter thinks this lot won't cite issues with the 2500 allocation and keep pushing for return to the previous arrangements they're on the deludamol.

I agree they will likely try, but they will rightly be told to do one.

You said in your last post you also think this decision will be reversed within the year.

I’d also suggest if you really believe that you are on the deludamol.

This allocation will be here to stay.

 

[muttley]

Another negative post based on ignorance of facts. The will NEVER get the Broomloan again

We were told that they were never getting more than 800 tickets ever again, mate. That lasted long, eh. ?

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

That just isn’t going to happen, we all know this.

We had an equal amount previously, and this will be the same, percentages won’t play a part.

Following engagement with both clubs, the SPFL is pleased to confirm that Rangers FC and Celtic FC will provide ticket allocations of around 5% for away supporters, for SPFL matches between the two clubs.

They've just mentioned a percentage in their statement.

Given the first OF league game next season will be at the scum hut, Rangers need to take in the allocation we get and react accordingly for the Ibrox fixture.

That statement from the SPFL is conveniently vague as to muddy the waters and we know which club is already on the case, and it won't be us.

 

[RangersLad1983]

Do we know how many this actually is?

what happens to these fans when it’s a European game?

You sound like you are the only St ticket holder on here Empire ,your not.

This is exactly what will happen.

Whatever amount the beggars give us in the first game, we will reciprocate.

 

[RangersLad1983]

Will those who are forced to buy a season ticket without Celtic games be credited with 10 MyGers points ( more if we draw them in the cup)

They not only lose out on seeing Rangers play Celtic - they miss out on the MyGers points for non attendance - a double whammy

The club is booting us in the baws mate and listening to some of the comments on here regarding this change there is no doubt that some of our fans don't give a %^*& about anybody's feelings but their own

 

[Saltcoatsblu]

Exactly and we don't need enemies while we have that attitude within our own ranks ,god help us

Exactly, why would any Bear be happy over this, a Rancid club who cannot even mention our name

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

The only ones laughing today are the club who've got what they wanted, and it isn't us, mate.

Believe me, there’s many, many happy Rangers fans at the news too

 

[RangersLad1983]

Both supports will be in the corner of the respective stadiums. It’s not a cave in, as this is what Rangers have always wanted, they wanted the old allocations.

They will be upfront of the cameras,us we won't be seen as usual.

 

[rangers1962]

Suppose it depends when the lines of seats are and passageways which would form natural barriers.

I suppose they will have a lot of empty seats as well to add to that total, so could be near the 3,000 than the 2,500

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

You'll find that those complaining are those that only go to home games. I'm alright Jack. Selfish attitudes imo

As opposed to I'm alright Jack, I've now got two tickets?

 

[GazzaNumber8]

Good common sense and a lifeline for RSC’s who want to attend all away games. Hearts , aberdeen and potentially hibs is murdering it.

 

[Blues and Royals]

This is only the start. What happens when that mob go big time to get the full Broomloan back ?
Another SPFL change to the rules will then be incoming. These rhats are taking the piss out of us.

 

[bluecold]

Voted good, even tho it directly effects my son and my brother.
Don't hold much hope in getting a ticket for the away games, but used to love going there and beating them, highlight of the season.
At least a few thousand of our fans will be able to experience that again

 

[muttley]

Spot on. Its incredible that so many fans can't see what's coming down the track.

 

[Elite81]

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

Liverpool's allocation at Ibrox was 2,636.

Fairly sure the corner (which is what Celtic will give Rangers) is just under 2,700.

So that's why they're saying "around 5%". Both clubs will receive roughly the same.

 

[MVLoyal]

Moaning about tv cameras JFC

 

[club175]

With this nonsense today, they and Sky will push for the entire Broomloan to ensure the " spectacle " returns. Its an absolute certainty.

There is no way rangers will do that as it means having to sell 1000s of tickets to every league game rather than selling season tickets and getting the money up front. They have clearly looked at it and realised that they can still sell nearly the same amount of season tickets and still give 5% away

 

[Valley Bluenose]

No, they wanted any number in the "Free Broomloan".

They wanted us to reverse the 800 allocation.

Rodgers is already making noises today about a return to ‘how it used to be’.

"The aim at Celtic was never to change it, so if we can get back to what it was before it was changed then that would be absolutely great news for everyone."

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

I don’t understand why they would have to be in the corner and part of broomloan. Surely it would be easier to accommodate them in the crap restricted view seats in the main stand half of which are usually empty as nobody wants a ticket there

Surely it would’ve been easier and less disruptive to put them in BF1/2 and BR1/2. Would that not have meant less seats were needed for segregation too?

 

[Blues and Royals]

That mob will gnaw away like a cancer on this issue. They will never let this go until the old allocation is back.
2,500 of the pondlife are back in our stadium and the rest will follow in time.

 

[billybluehat]

Elephant in the room - will we get 5% of the shit-pit (3000) or will we get stiffed again, and only get the 2500, we give to them??

I suspect, we'll get fckd over, again.

I suspect we'll both get 2,500 each, hence the use of the "around 5%" jargon.

 

[Blues and Royals]

Spot on. Its incredible that so many fans can't see what's coming down the track.

As sure as night follows day.

 

[club175]

Surely it would’ve been easier and less disruptive to put them in BF1/2 and BR1/2. Would that not have meant less seats were needed for segregation too?

That’s what someone with a brain would do. Instead they will have segregation on both sides. As you say you could easily put them where the ub are and in the crap seats in the enclosure. After the game all they need to do is make them wait half an hour and match them through the gate

 

[Ten Ton Tony]

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

Bullshit.

Rangers fans saying they "can't wait" to go to the scumhut. Makes you fucking sick. And before you start, yes, I do go to away games.

 

[Steph85]

Just my tuppence worth but when they had the full Broomloan stand, season Tkt’s were sold with the proviso that they did not include Celtic games but those season Tkt’s still sold out and I don’t remember any arguments. Probably find that will be the case when renewals come out for that stand.
Or am I wrong?????
Not taking sides here one way or another. Just sayin

I was one of them and don’t remember the kick up back then.

 

[Class of 72]

Surely it would’ve been easier and less disruptive to put them in BF1/2 and BR1/2. Would that not have meant less seats were needed for segregation too?

That’s actually a great idea. Or better still put them in the corner of the enclosure. Move all away fans to there. Less seats used up as segregation. Might see a few hundred more Rangers fans.

 

[julian candy]

Rodgers is already making noises today about a return to ‘how it used to be’.

"The aim at Celtic was never to change it, so if we can get back to what it was before it was changed then that would be absolutely great news for everyone."

Haha.

They are dirty, sneaky bassas.

 

[Trafalgar]

Sensible decision all round.

I would be happy to offer Hearts & Hibs the same if we got a full stand at their ground and they could fill it at Ibrox.

So more games STHs aren't getting guaranteed tickets? Magic, the kids won't get to see Rangers play any big games. What a way to treat our future fans.

 

[Kingging]

I agree they will likely try, but they will rightly be told to do one.

You said in your last post you also think this decision will be reversed within the year.

I’d also suggest if you really believe that you are on the deludamol.

This allocation will be here to stay.

I'd agree the numbers are here to stay but I'd hope the location is not. The experiment this season to use the club deck was a good one IMO and it makes it easier to adjust numbers game by game with less seats lost to segregation. Still leaves the problem that some st holders will not get to the big games though

 

[Bearcage]

Don’t/still don’t want them near Ibrox.This nonsense about away fans should always be there .Argentina ,Brazil and several other. S.A countries no fans .Sure Italy and Spain and other European countries banned away fans especially Red Star vs Partizan.Poor decision in my book from a board that was doing well.

 

[muttley]

The club vowed never more than 800 tickets for those vermin at Ibrox, and they've now folded. They should explain why or who forced their hand to change it.

Bisgrove doesn't care. He isn't a Rangers man. How he is still in the position he is after his lies and behaviour beggar's belief. Our board are weak as piss

The self-entitled ones, yes.

Where and when did the club vow this?

You don't remember Rangers constantly refusing to give Celtc more than 800 tickets, mate. ?

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

Aye imagine being upset at missing the biggest game of the season on you ST, how selfish.
Tell you what mate. If you want to goto the Piggery give up your Ibrox ticket for those that'll miss out. You won't though

Well 1, it doesn't work like that.
2, I have had a ST in the BF under the old allocation, it's just one of these things.
3, I'm not having a go at folk for being upset by the news, it's a sh*te one for them & I hope that there is a compromise to suit them but you can't just skew the argument to just say 'my side is selfless & yours is selfish'. It's clear that folk have got personal motivations behind both arguments.

 

[Agent Harris]

Please do show where they said this?

 

[RWB-Since1963]

Put the Rhats in the west enclosure

Why exactly ?.

 

[boracay ranger]

F*cking hell. No disrespect mate, honestly, but let's just say that's highly optimistic. Ask anyone who's been on the Waiting List for a Season Ticket with two seats together how near impossible it is. Then ask how we are going to relocate all those Parent and Child seats in the Family Stand impacted by this decision.

I think the decision is wrong based on my assumption that many will miss out. If Rangers can guarantee that will not be the case then I am happy to change my mind. Their email today suggests I won't be changing my mind.

VB, I think it is highly likely that all season ticket holders will be able to be relocated if they choose that option.
There are approximately 1800 season ticket holders impacted by this change.
Some of these will choose to remain in their current seats and miss the 2 old firm games.
Since the move won’t take place until next season the seats in the rest of stadium not renewed will be available to those relocating. Each season between 1k and 2k don’t renew and this gives more flexibility for seats together for those relocating.
The agreement is for 5% so we will definitely get more tickets than them. I understand the scepticism but the first game is at the piggery so if we don’t get 3000 they won’t get 2500.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

This is exactly what will happen.

Whatever amount the beggars give us in the first game, we will reciprocate.

Let's hope so.

Rangers need to be on this.

 

[muttley]

You said the club vowed to never give more than 800 tickets
Please do show where they said this?

Actions always speak louder than words, mate. We repeatedly told Celtc they were only receiving 800 tickets, and to take it or leave it.

 

[bad boy boogie]

Sick and tired of these cunts running football and getting goalposts moved to suit their agendas.

Instigated a refs strike over criticism of refs.

Exclude our fans from their shitehole but demand and get tickets for ours.

Brenda gets a reduced ban for same,allowing him in dugout out for game v us

Same corrupt refs/var combining to aid them to win the league.

Biggest sex abuse scandal in world sport covered up and our governing body says and does %^*& all.

The list is fucking endless ,time for our board to fight fire with fire ,demand sporting integrity or demand that people are removed from post.
