AJF Posted yesterday at 16:08 Share Posted yesterday at 16:08 (edited) 1 hour ago, stressball said: The overall capacity of the stand will be just over 8k. So I imagine somewhere between 3200 - 3800. @AJFcan probably give a more accurate answer. (If I was being a dick I'd say the capacity is 0) Yeah, I’m not sure on the specifics but that won’t be far off. Celtic used to get the entirety of the Broomloan and that allocation was 7,000 IIRC. It’s yet another shit show caused by our club. I’d be rightly raging if the shoe was on the other foot. Still though, I don’t know why there can’t be a way to accommodate all season ticket holders plus a Hibs away allocation. If we use some rough figures as an example: Ibrox capacity: 50,000 Season Ticket Holders: 45,000 Copland Rear capacity: ~3,500 So if we discount the Copland Rear capacity, that leaves a restricted capacity of around 46,500. I don’t know why that can’t accommodate all 45,000 season ticket holders plus a Hibs away allocation. There’s been no general sale for this match as far as I know so I don’t know what is preventing this. The club have been hammering the seatsub emails this week so it seems like they are scrapping around for anything they can get.

KingswellsRed Posted yesterday at 17:21 Share Posted yesterday at 17:21 The use of of the word “reasonable” within the rules but without any context of what reasonable means just perfectly sums up the farce that away tickets have become in Scotland. There should be clear wording explaining what clubs are required to provide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - not including the price of tickets. Edited yesterday at 17:29 by Sortmeout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person’s interpretation of reasonable might be 50 tickets while another’s 10k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs have no issues selling a reasonable number of tickets to away fans. It’s just certain clubs (or holding companies). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happens and they don't give Hibs an allocation its a nailed on certainty the gesture will be reciprocated, meaning Rangers getting no tickets for their next visit to Easter Road. Why were they allowed to return playing there then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch is usable so the section that can’t be opened remains closed. Basically playing at Hampden as financially hammering them so they’ve rushed to get it open to save money and make sure their first European home game is played at Ibrox else they’d have had to use Hampden for all the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron1875 Posted yesterday at 18:23 Share Posted yesterday at 18:23 (edited) This all seems a pathetic response from Rangers board to Hibs cutting their allocation after a 3499 minority away end chanted wanting Martin Boyle deed. I do stress that it was a minority of Rangers fans that day of course. Can imagine the SPFL will make a panicked announcement tomorrow and hopefully it can be sorted out for us to at least get a few hundred tickets (if stadium is limited capacity). Every time things like this happen, it just affects the image of the league and damages potential TV deals + reputation. Quite frustrating but unfortunately it doesn't seem like Rangers will ever grow up. Edited yesterday at 18:25 by Cameron1875 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not quite sure it is a response to that, otherwise we wouldn’t have season ticket holders unaware of which stand they’ll be in just a few days before the match. I think it’s more a case of the club being desperate to get back to Ibrox for various reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted yesterday at 20:04 Author Share Posted yesterday at 20:04 Hibs observer: “ Hibs were informed by league bosses on Monday that their appeal had been successful and they had been granted a full away allocation of 932 tickets. Hibs are ready to put tickets on sale as soon as they receive them but as of Wednesday night, they were still to receive any tickets for Sunday’s encounter, and it’s understood Rangers could face repercussions from the SPFL if Hibs don't receive their full allocation ahead of the weekend” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted yesterday at 20:15 Share Posted yesterday at 20:15 Hilarious though. A full allocation, tickets not yet received as of Wednesday night (let's call it Thursday morning), and Hibs are supposed to sell and distribute these in, what ? 2 days Wonder if anyone will be able to book a bus tomorrow? f**k Rangers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
