Rangers to receive only half of their ticket allocation for Scottish Cup tie at Pittodrie

“The rules say that the visiting team are entitled to up to 20% except if the safety certificate doesn’t allow it – and it doesn’t,” said a club source.

I'll be astounded if the rules say that at all.
This is what the rules say so it may well be the case

29.1 For any Match, excluding the Semi-Final Matches and the Final Match, to which admission is wholly or partly by ticket and/or by cash admission at the turnstiles, the Away Club shall have the right to claim admission for its supporters of up to 20% of the spectator capacity of the Registered Ground at which the Match is to be played.
29.2 In the case of Matches falling under the terms of Competition Rule 29.1, the Away Club’s supporters shall be accommodated in an area of the ground which is agreed by both Clubs and the Police authorities after having taken cognisance of the Safety at Sports Ground Act, 1975, where appropriate.
 
Given they would recieve an extra ball park figure of say £50k from 2000 extra Rangers fans, wouldn't it make financial sense to ammend the safety cert and use some of the money to put up a fence.

I reckon they are just trying to piss us off,they are more than capable of sorting it out.
