Your right, and we are right in the middle standing up. Judging by the sun it was just after kick off and it looks like many of those sleeping yet to waken up.mcgregor is right there at the edge of the box?

I wouldn't say the 'majority' imo. The full lower tier was standing - that's where i was so i can qualify that. From my view behind the goal a lot of the top tier was standing but obviously some patches sitting which is a shambles considering it's a Euro final.seen this picture on twitter and it's a pretty good evidence for the folk saying that the majority were sitting.
Spoken like a true prawn sandwich brigade memberUnless you were in stadium last night you will never understand why I and many others found it impossible to stand for 120mins or sing for full game.
one thing
the Support which travelled to Spain in the numbers that did was outstanding and the numbers inside stadium unbelievable.
This 100%. I know for a fact a ton of overseas Bears were in that ground last night who had not been anywhere near Ibrox or a European away game this season. Im not picking on them or anyone , but thats just a simple fact.
I was in the neutral section and thought we were out-sung the majority of the game. I actually think the Frankfurt fans provided a good atmosphere, both display and singing. They definitely died down towards the end. Not sure if that was due to us taking control of the game, or fatigue due to the situation of no water, or any drink, in the stadium.
There were bears around me looking for a sing song, but maybe only about 50%.
Another issue was the lack of coordination with songs. I kept looking over to our allocated section in hope of them joining into a song, or to get one started. When this happened by the time it had transferred over (if at all), some people were already done singing the song.
This is something that I've seen a lot at Ibrox. UB are the only section that do this well, but often it doesn't carry round the stadium well. And it's much easier to do in smaller traveling support.
Also, the best atmospheres are normally driven by game situations. Like the recent European games at Ibrox, where there is an early goal. The game had very few chances, or moments to drive a support on. The Frankfurt fans were only good for a song book, but less so for the waves of sound, and volume changes depending on game situations.
Say what you want about those who paid over a grand for a ticket. I was one of those, and I don't have a season ticket anymore, and I maybe take in only a few games a season. But I was looking to make as much noise as possible. I had to go to the toilets to drink the tap water at half time just to get my voice back for the second half.
If I didn't buy that ticket, there's as much chance that ticket then goes to a neutral or opposition fan.
I completely agree that Uefa allocation is a joke. It's only good for touts who make money from the situation.
The allocation for the clubs should be a minimum 40%, not 25%.
And I say that knowing that would mean it's less likely for me to get the opportunity to go. But then I reckon there are a lot of bears who may qualify for a ticket, but not be able to afford the travel.
It was a flat game that generated a relatively flat atmosphere, with the Frankfurt fans having a simple song book and better orchestration than us, to fill the void of a relatively flat game.
Sorry just a normal season ticket fan with an opinion.Spoken like a true prawn sandwich brigade member
Fair enough , I may have been a bit harsh on you there. I just felt a bit embarrassed by our atmosphereSorry just a normal season ticket fan with an opinion.
In any city ! The pandemic decimated the trade, but you will get a burger delivered fast as fcuk !!!L
tnf most were just trying to get taxis. My hotel is 10km outside the city and I’m myself . There’s hardly any taxis in this city
Probably the fact that thousands of people that normally don’t bother with Rangers got tickets instead of bears that would have went and gave it everythingHow the %^*& did that even happen?
Genuine question, were you there? It is not a dig I am wondering if you were there or not.Fair enough , I may have been a bit harsh on you there. I just felt a bit embarrassed by our atmosphere
The Daktari were out in number at the expense of the regular fans.How the %^*& did that even happen?
No , couldnt get a ticketGenuine question, were you there? It is not a dig I am wondering if you were there or not.
Pretty wide dig that. Plenty regular Rangers followers tried to get it going last night but due to the "my seat" brigade everyone was more spread out than usual.Rangers fans that got tickets were shocking last night, Frankfurt fans were tremendous!
It needs to be a wide dig mate, couldn’t hear a thing, anytime the camera was on our fans they were all standing doing nothing.Pretty wide dig that. Plenty regular Rangers followers tried to get it going last night but due to the "my seat" brigade everyone was more spread out than usual.
The camera? So you watched it on tv but are criticising the fans who were actually there? In the actual ground?It needs to be a wide dig mate, couldn’t hear a thing, anytime the camera was on our fans they were all standing doing nothing.
Was very strange as we are usually bouncing.
Frankfurt fans were excellent.
NonsenseA lot of glory hunters got tickets ,and genuine fans couldn't get any
What section was that in thats mental, most of us were stood on the shitey red seats and fell back the way when we scored, stadium was pish
Hi. Frankfurt supporter here.Anyone know how Frankfurt issued their tickets?
Did their Ultras get them all
Genuine question, were you there? It is not a dig I am wondering if you were there or not.
As long as the first timers bin the seat number that is says on their ticket the minute they walk into the ground.I think most who normally attend Euro aways were there. However, there were loads of seat hunters and folk who thought it was Ibrox they were in. No slight on them, our support was so spread out over the official and neutral section. The Uefa ballot didn't lend itself to a conducive atmosphere.
I hope all the first timers who attended the final keep at it. There's something very special about supporting our team abroad.
