Very sensible post. The one sitting next to me in the main stand was very civilised, just as well they never scored thoughUEFA rules stipulate that the visiting team has to get a portion of 'high quality' seats along the long side of the pitch. For us, this is in the Club Deck. Its been that way for as long as I can remember and is very much far from being a new thing. Usually up to about 200 seats, depending upon the demand from the visiting team.
Our fans take advantage of it (and the availability of hospitality packages) all over Europe. It really shouldn't be a big deal. We - and they - are meant to be 'civilised'.
They are in official away seats so why shouldn't theyI remember they had fans there the last time were here. B*stards started celebrating when they scored.

My mate would get me a ticket for the Feyenoord end if I was going over, but i cant afford it just now. I'd hope to go and watch the game without being called a bastard or a trampI'm old enough to remember football before strict segregation was introduced. It was much better, in all honesty, and the 'rampant violence' was no more just an odd scrap. My mate of 50 years is a Motherwell fan and we used to stand on the terracing together, as did many others from both sides, without incident. Most of the time. It was much, much better than today when you have the faux outrage at the fan of another team being in 'our' area.
Shocking. They should have been kicked out of EuropeI remember they had fans there the last time were here. B*stards started celebrating when they scored.

If we can manage 200 fans from different parts of Europe without any problems in the club deck, why can't we shove fifty Livingstone or other small Scottish club contingents up there and free up a large section of the ground currently blotting the eyesight and stealing seats from Rangers fans?UEFA rules stipulate that the visiting team has to get a portion of 'high quality' seats along the long side of the pitch.

I disagree. It is a stupid and shortsighted rule that creates a very volatile dynamic that could result in serious trouble.UEFA rules stipulate that the visiting team has to get a portion of 'high quality' seats along the long side of the pitch.

My season ticket seat in the club deck was right next to a very large section of them last time they were here. There were far more than 200 of them and there was a huge amount of aggro that resulted in the police and stewards having to get involved. It all got very hairy when they scored with fans extremely close to blows, that would ultimately have come if the authorities hadn’t gotten involved.
Absolutely ridiculous.
I think you have also benefitted from getting many of these away European tickets through having access to corporate tickets at Ibrox if I am not mistaken?
hilarious post mate. would read again.FFS....Sat 4 rows behind me
Wouldn't have known they were there. Looked respectable middle-aged folk. Tramps seems a bizarre statement.
My old man had a workmate who was a red hot Hamilton Accies fan, one day my dad and his fellow Bears from work took this guy to a Rangers v Hamilton game at Ibrox, and they stood at their usual place, passageway 11 in the old covered terracing before the Centenary “Stand”, with this guy beside them.I'm old enough to remember football before strict segregation was introduced.

There is a regular poster on here, maybe it’s not you bud, I thought it was but could well be wrong, that has repeatedly talked of his company having corporate ST’s at Ibrox in his name, the sort that come with away corporate Euro tickets. I was thinking it was you good self and that was perhaps influencing your thoughts on the matter. Apologies if it’s not you.Dunno if that was aimed at me mate or not. In my days of travelling around Europe nobody had heard of ‘hospitality’ LOL. I’m talking 70s and 80s here ha ha. We were all supposed to be thugs and hooligans throwing bottles around and wearing crash helmets but the reality was much more sedate - for most of us.

We get punted every year for them, it’s supposedly the corporatesAnyone know why there was a section of Feyenoord fans in the Club Deck last night? Fuckin tramps the lot a them.
In the home end at Stuttgart, their fans were fùcking fantastic.Maybe I’m just older and wiser having grown up pre-segregation. I’ve been all over Europe watching Rangers and been in the away end many a time. Going to Scottish League matches where the crowds were mixed was entirely ‘normal’. Only time I’ve had ‘bother’ was once at Aberdeen and once at Everton. In the vast majority of cases all it takes is for folk to remember that the fans of the other team are just ordinary football guys there to support their team same as you.
I wouldn’t expect Rangers fans to sit on their hands in similar seating in Rotterdam or Oporto, for example, so why get upset when Feyenoord or Porto fans celebrate a goal at Ibrox?
Different times, different attitudes I guess.

I think you need to show a bit of common sense and respect if you do find yourself in the wrong end. Carrying on like that you deserve a slap.My old man had a workmate who was a red hot Hamilton Accies fan, one day my dad and his fellow Bears from work took this guy to a Rangers v Hamilton game at Ibrox, and they stood at their usual place, passageway 11 in the old covered terracing before the Centenary “Stand”, with this guy beside them.
Apparently the guy nearly got them into serious trouble with the Bears around them because of the abuse he was giving the Rangers players, it got so bad a couple of the guys ended up taking him away early.
First time I went to Hamburg was for a Munich game. There was loads of Bayern tops where I was sitting.I go to a lot of grounds in Germany to watch football, its basically allowed everywhere there with a few exceptions
I was at the Hamburg v Bremen Nordderby a couple of years ago and when Bremen scored there was cheers all over the stadium with folk jumping up and down, very bizarre experience
What would you expect them to do when they scoredI remember they had fans there the last time were here. B*stards started celebrating when they scored.
I thought the empty sests in govan rear were UEFA corporate. Didnt realise they had club deck.

I got booted out of my CD5 ST seat. Ironically bought a better one for the Euro games.Premium seat requirements from UEFA. Bears with season tickets get moved for them too.
Thanks for that post mate. Now I can come clean. My first game, as a 9 year old. Went myself. I was in their end at Hampden for 1966 Scottish Cup Final replay. Can’t remember why. Think a cop let me in. (Polis were much less Tuliallan indoctrinated authoritarian clones then.) When King Kai scored I was terrified to move. My maw was beside herself when I wasn’t home at usual time. She went mental when I told herAs a young bear I watched many a game against them at their end because I couldn't get a ticket for the Rangers end. I was in the manky end at the 1969 Hampden SCF for the same reason...I left that game at half-time.
The game where John Greig ran up the park and scored while the bheasts were surrounding the ref protesting for a penalty I don't know how I managed to restrain myself from jumping for joy. Bottles whizzed past my head as they smashed into their own lot, fuckin mental, I think this was the last time I went in their end as I was genuinely concerned about my safety.
Pass mate I sit in main stand.What were they for? I was surprised seats next to me were empty, a few people seemed to sit in them after a while.
