Doubt that would happen unless you were a ST holder who had not already joined the TC. While it used to happen (I joined the TC that way in Podgorica when a couple of us went down on spec looking for tickets) now that non ST holders are persona non grata in the TC it aint gonna be the case.
I would imagine they would open the TC up to season ticket holders who are travelling over
As you say has happened in the past, Belgrade, Athens and Maribor for me but there may be a tightening up, which i can see is right IF ST holders fill the area where we have been allocated, but nowadays most who travel will have a Rangers number (ex season ticket holders or buying a ticket through the ticket office), so could be quite easy to do, and would avoid Bears being in different sections.
You would like to think so but after the farce of Luxembourg last year and likely Skopje this year who knows. It's a disgrace that there were almost as many in the other sections as our official section when we had been offered so many tickets
Not gonna happen, didnt in Lux and if Rangers do sell to non ST/TC members then there will be a lot of disgruntled non ST Bears around Europe, England and elsewhere who were denied chance of going.
Yes and be charged £20 joining fee for TC
Yes definitelyYes and be charged £20 joining fee for TC
Like I said, it didn't happen in Luxembourg.
Thing is a ST holder could sign up now to TC and apply for a ticket. It wont be ST holders looking for tickets in Skopje. It will be former TC members who travelled for years with Rangers.
No they can’t, TC registration is closed
My point was that a ST holder showing up in Skopje and not having a ticket might have an option to join up and be given a ticket at that time. In the past TC has opened up again for members.
Ah I see your point, would make sense for ST holders
Its on premier sports
Thanks
Supposedly Rangers have around 500 requests for tickets.
The home leg is on BT, away leg on Premier.
Unlikely unless the outside chance of the scum getting papped out of CL. No other games conflict in or around Osijek. Hajduk are playing at home same night but that is 700km or so away. At most Croatian tv will dictate kick off time to try to likely show both Osijek and Hajduk games on same night. Osijek game could well be a 6pm kick off as Hajduk game will take precedence (this assuming we both qualify for Q2)
This is likely to be much more of an issue in both Skopje and if we get through Osijek as Progres fans were pretty passive. It increases potential for trouble with our fans in among locals. Their will be a strong police presence at both games. (I know couple of local cops in Osijek area and have already been told to expect high visible presence if we both get through, maybe not like riot police at Belgrade but they will be suited and booted). Macedonian police will also be dealing with an ethnic issue (Albanian) as well as our fans, so will be out in force.
As of yesterday Rangers didn’t know there allocation, however there will be no issue with tickets
Just got my email now
I did think it would be cheaper as well
They don't seem to have a lot of fans and we will only take a few hundred so they could probably have played at their own ground if terrace can be used in the early rounds
I would be surprised if there is that many given how hard it is to get to and no official flight or sport options flight. When we played Zeta in Montenegro only 144 went indy I think they said and all of them got travel club tickets even joining on the same day
Around 500/600 at most I reckon. Possibly 1200 in Osijek if we get there.
Podgorica was a great trip, one of my favourite euro aways.
So you can count after all, it's a pity you couldn't do as well when running busses to the game142 plus 2 if I recall
Yes, but some Montenegrin drivers must be mental as we had a couple of near misses.
Met some Serb 'ultras' in a fast food place near the ground before the game. Didnt realise at first me and my mate understood Serbo Croat. 'Vidimo se Beograd' as we left. Oh you speak Serb, no we speak Croat
From what I was able to read locally in Croatia sports paper Osijek have a few potential injury worries, although stated their pre season had gone well.
