Thats the end of the “special” old firm atmosphere.

Wonder how long it’ll take them to twig that Celtic will do the same to them

The statement will most certainly use the word “petty”

They released a statement an hour after.

An unprecedented Double Treble and historic season for the Club has led to a phenomenal level of demand from supporters to be part of Celtic.

We are happy to reciprocate in terms of ticket allocation, something which will give us the opportunity to meet this huge demand to visit Celtic Park.

If I was an away game attender of either team i'd be raging. 800/900 tickets will almost certainly be snapped up by the board/club/sponsors/investors. All cos the huns can't take a hammering.

The Sevco Fans don’t normally stick with their team through thick and thin, if the Stevie G appointment goes horribly wrong quickly you could see their crowds drop sharply and with even more reduced away fans it’s going to be interesting to see if they will reverse this decision for when Celtic come to fill the stadium.

If they lose the first game v Celtic (or us) he'll be a bogtrottin', beadrattlin', waltzerspinnin' Taig, and they'll be burning pictures of Stevie G dressed as the Pope ootside the front gates.

Here's hoping!

So it's basically just a guess by some pundit on Sportsound then.


The Rangers have played a blinder in signing up Gerrard. While there's absolutely no guarantee he'll do anything at their club, it's got the Fans onside long enough to buy a very large number of Season Tickets.

This basically keeps them alive for another season or so.

Its the only way they could fund anywhere near the transfer kitty he’ll be expecting. The director loans will kick in before the leaves are off the trees. No way the ST money will see them through this season never mind beyond that.

Definitely something to do with Gerrard. Look at away allocations in England. Very rarely a full stand behind the goals

If it’s about giving them a better chance of winning then it’s Celtic’s player allocation they’ll need to cut.

This is so hypocritical after all their ***** a few weeks ago.

I look forward to Jim Traynor's explanation of how they are going to 'assure the Celtic fans' safety'.

Can't wait for the next Rangers implosion in about 3 months' time.

Decent post, but a game is about 2 sets of fans and teams
If Hibs/Hearts did this for our Derby, the game would be much poorer for it

Also worth remembering that our fans benefit from taking large numbers to tincastle. Both us and Hearts realise that it will hurt our fans (away ones) not having a big away support.

I have never not got a home ticket against Hearts at ER.

I’m sunrises with Sevco as I’m sure there are a large number of their fans who will be pissed off at now not getting tickets for Parkhead.

Wonder where the outrage and statements are, thats was their reaction to us giving them the same thing this season after all.

Celtic have also cut The Rangers allocation.
Both citing an increase in season ticket sales.

[Itsnoteasy]

I hope Hibs & Hearts don't make the same decision with their allocations. You need a large away support at both grounds for derby day.

[AgentDaleCooper]

rangers are absolutely amazing at setting themselves up to fall on their *****.

Exactly .... The Huns ability to chuck the toys oot the pram knows no bounds, even to the extent that they are taking their huff with Hibs out on everybody else ... did they not think for a second that Celtic would retaliate?

The arrangement we have with the Yams ensures that the Edinburgh derby enjoys a decent atmosphere at both venues, coz lets face it if there wasn't any Hibs fans at the rust arena there wouldn't be any atmosphere

[Swedish hibee]

Has there season ticket sales gone up since Gerrard has been unveiled as the manager? I've seen it mentioned 3 times on tv over here- and Scottish football never gets talked about! Really looking forward to next season...

[B.H.F.C]

Doesn’t make any difference to us.

Just another example of The Rangers playing to the gallery. Hardly surprising that they announce this the same day it comes out that they are nowhere near being able to afford Gerard’s number one transfer target. Deflect and keep all the muppets happy until the next thing that goes wrong.

Totally agree that club really is being run by someone with the mindset of a toddler. Utter shambles.

[Phil MaGlass]

Lets hope we return the favour and cut their allocation according to the % they give us. ER and the rest of Scottish fitba should follow suit. Hopefully this will bring more Hibs fans out to games against the huns at ER then maybe families can start taking their kids to these games again witbout having to listen to bigot morons for 90mins and have to walk a gauntlet of hatred just to get to see your team play. Bring it on man. CUT THEIR ALLOCATION.

[Keith_M]

So, the conclusion is that the only change next season is how many tickets Rantic are planning to give each other, and it doesn't affect the other clubs at all.


I personally think we should demand more, just to wind them up.

Wonder if there could be long-term implications..surely the big away supports at old firm games, and the resulting atmosphere, is a big part of selling the tv rights in England and worldwide (if it is even sold world-wide now, I have absolutely no idea)

Good point, the "special" atmosphere is a big part of the marketing pitch by Sky/BT which will disappear if the Huns ban Celtic fans. Now they just have to ban sectarian singing and they'll be able to close 3 stands and save on policing.

They are not banning Celtic fans though are they? If they can sell tickets to their own fans then fair play.

We done the exact same thing to them a few weeks ago and reduced their allocation as we had sufficient demand from our own fans.

They were always able to sell tickets to their own fans for OF games but had agreement with Celtic (and vice versa) just as we have with Hearts. Nope, this is a juvenile, deflection move by the Huns inspired by Hibs decision to cut their allocation for 1 game.

As others have said, it's as if Sevco is being run by the adults in the Haribo ad.

Where are you reading this?
We got over 950 last season, thought we are only getting 800 next time?

As far as I can tell, the 800 number is only the media mistakenly reporting the capacity of the corner at Ibrox inaccurately.

There was nothing in Rangers' statement about the figure 800, so I think we'll have the exact same allocation as we always get.

Wouldn't happen but it would have been amazing if Celtic had just copied and pasted Rangers statement when their allocation was cut with a line and the bottom that sad "only kidding, we're not that petty. However we're more than happy to offer a similar arrangement when you're at Parkhead".

[givescotlandfreedom]

Does anyone really think Celtc and sevco hadn't already agreed to this amongst themselves before this announcement?

[A Hi-Bee]

This is good news and can only be good for the game, 850 sevco's at Easter Road all paying a deposit just in case of damage caused, wonderful.

[S4uzee]

Imagine what will get chucked down at the Celtic fans at Ibrox ....

I was talking with a Celtc season ticket holder who said just that. He also wasn't fussed about the allocation being cut as he thinks it makes sense to sell to your own fans first.

Seen plenty games from the EPL on Sky of the teams @ top & bottom of league & there is no atmosphere.

Also been to a handful of Bundesliga games & the atmosphere was brilliant.
