mizfit Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Seeing people complaining that were not letting away fans on Thursday... Is it Beverley the Motherwell fan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center half Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The area behind the dug outs which has a fair cluster of season ticket holders is not being handed back to the season ticket holders though! So they will all need moved to appropriate seats as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akuram Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Liam Kelly is in sky team of the week. He did well but didn’t have saves to make like Zander did but what do you expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the tickets issued will apply in terms of designated ST seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 There's every reason to not let them in, this could turn ugly very very quickly. It’s UEFA’s fault really for not letting away fans attend. This was always going to happen and it could happen to any club playing in the competition. Nobody can blame Turks in Scotland, perhaps even the UK, for wanting to go to the match. It’s fair game and any of us would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot.I don’t mind seeing Turks in the home end, just hope any banter between fans is good natured and not taken too seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I read on another forum of a large numbers of fans travelling to away games all over central Europe so far, sometimes outnumbering the home fans. UEFA are not happy with this and don't want to be seen to encourage any travel just now (After a pan - Europe Euros) so are now cracking down on all further rounds in the qualifiers. You can bet as soon as the group stage start this ban will be lifted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it happen? I doubt it. Then when Saints get the inevitable fine they'll no doubt plead innocence when it could've all been nipped in the bud before the turnstiles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. + As @realmadrid said after. They're officially banned. We got an obscene fine for one Palestinian flag and a flood. Imagine what they'd do if we let their fans in and then there was issues... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double posting but you posted at same time as me. I think we're going to find to avoid them any chance of getting in that there won't be an open sale of tickets.

RandomGuy. Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I think if we've learned one thing over the past few weeks, it's that Galatasaray fans are a sensible, stable minded, group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree - anyone showing up in Gala colours should be refused. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should willingly open the door to them. Realistically that’s all Saints can do. If Gala fans turn up with no colours on then what can you do? “Sorry mate, you look Turkish so you can’t come in.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It would be the same if we drew an English team in Europe. We’d all be scrambling for tickets in the home end. Don’t think UEFA have a leg to stand on and it would be a disgrace to fine clubs. There’s little clubs can do to combat this. UEFA should have just allowed away allocations and give people the choice to travel abroad and risk having to isolate etc IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after Uefa just lined their pockets with the Euros quite happily allowing everyone to travel miles for games.

Radford Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Can see the police saying no general sale here, as they do for Old Firm matches. Seems strange there has been no announcement today. Kick-off is in 72 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
