They wanted to sell more tickets to their own fans, so cut the Celtic allocation to around 800. Which part of that do you think should be corrected? Sevco did not single out one club as Baracus wrongly claimed. The away support was cut for all clubs and this was announced pre season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All diddy fans should buy tickets for this game and pass them onto those who can't afford to go.

killiekranky Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Gordon Smiths plan to award Killie a 3-0 victory and a possible points deduction for Sleverco is sheer genius. Gorgeous Gordon is a Killie legend ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Reading through social media, and even this thread, the worst banter going must be this "bears" shite.

Ok, but how many clubs were affected by the cut in away tickets policy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen you go down this road a few times, insinuating that any hatred of Rangers is pretend and fishing for greenies. It's not.

djchapsticks Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 8 hours ago, bennett said: That is not strictly true, I'm sure you'll correct it and apologize..... Whilst not strictly true, it was a reaction to cut all away support allocations to 800 as an indirect result of Hibs repeatedly winding Rangers up last season, doing something similar and cutting away allocation at Easter Road. Rangers did so in turn by cutting all away allocations over this season, which they are perfectly entitled to do. They are not at all entitled though, to spit the dummy if any club decides to do the same. 4000 of an 18000 capacity stadium is still more than ample. Just under 25% of the stadium. All this talk of 'we'll take our business elsewhere' is an empty threat. Clubs, survive and get by just fine without overrunning their stadiums with the fabled 'blue or green pound' and their business is certainly not as crucial to a club's budget as they would like to belive. I sincerely hope we follow suit if we somehow stay up and cut both Rangers and Celtic allocations to the one stand. They should be treated like every other club in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth have they arrived at £250k/season?! Is it built on the utter myth that they actually fill both stands? We'll be losing about 2-2.5k away supporters, reducing associated costs, and then hopefully adding on a few home supporters. If it's 50k I'd be surprised, so 150 extra adult season tickets based on the idea that the club are successful again, with the possibility of Europe, and a board willing to listen to the majority of its supporters - not totally beyond the realms of possibility. Rangers support, as usual, distracting themselves from the total shitshow their club has been for the last decade by pointing the finger at others. What a fucking mountain out of a molehill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 When I heard this first I thought surely Gordon Smith has been misquoted but no, quoted exactly as said. I thought it would even have been a stretch to imagine an absolute frother on the bear pit suggesting they refuse to play somewhere because they are 'only' getting a quarter of the stadium. The fact that the venue in question is where they were recently caught en mass chanting sectarian abuse at their host takes it to a whole new level of ridiculousness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Gordon Smith is absolutely desperate for the adulation of the Rangers fans as it's all he has left. To be ignored at all times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It's the utter bullshit that the supporters are coming out with that's the most infuriating. Talk of boycotts, and protests, and one daft bint even suggesting they essentially congregate in a marching band outside the stadium - they've been totally fizzing at the BBC for years, so after a bit of deflective dog whistling from the club, arranged a protest outside the studios.........a mile away from the ground....on the day they were playing at home anyway...and about 40 people turned up. But aye, I'm sure the bears will all organise themselves to protest at only having a quarter of the stadium for a dead rubber. f**k off. I'll hold my hands up, I initially voted for them to retain their present allocation - but the handwringing bullshit that's followed a decision which is completely within the prerogative of our board has made me completely change my mind. And Gordon Smith can f**k off too, sitter missing, just-for-men using c**t that he is. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
