For once, I agree with the lot from 0141... bad form treating any fans like that...

They'll still have to cover costs themselves though, i'm sure stewarding and policing costs a fair whack when the old firm come to town so i can understand why they have to charge something.

Think when a games called off it's just one of those things that's bad luck but nothing really you can do about it.

Exactly.

They'll still have policing and stewarding costs to cover for 6000 Weegies.

If they're covering costs, that is understandable, if they're making profit, then thats out of order.

The Rangers fans will still need to travel again though, which is a cost in itself. Added to that another £13 (as the original tickets were £26) to get in, plus something to eat, it is a bit of a joke. I agree that Dundee United would be out of pocket when they cover their own costs though, so it's a doubled edged sword really!

I'd suggest that Rangers should put a free beamback of the game to Ibrox, but that would still mean travel costs for a lot of them

That's true. Have you seen the price of a ferry ticket recently ?

How many of the bluenoses will be from Dundee/Perth/Creiff/ other surrounding areas? Not all of thier fans will be travelling from Glasgow.
I believe there are 4/5 buses that leave from Dunfermline alone every week to go to Greyskull?

I kinda thought the second part of my post would have covered that point?

[MB62]

It's standard practice and we have had to do the same thing ourselves at least a couple of times that I can remember.

I think getting in for half price is fair enough to help cover costs. If they don't like it they don't have to go.

[Steve20]

It is out of order to charge anything. If this had been a Hibs match, then every person on here would have agreed witht that, I am sure.


















I suppose it is Rangers, though.

I can appreciate clubs are skint these days so nee to cover costs, what happened for the original fixture was just unlucky, Utd can't be expected to make a big loss here, they're in no financial position to do that.

Dunno if its just the way I'm reading it but it comes across as though it was stated initially that the stubs would be valid for the replayed game and now that's being gone back on. That was more my point. Bit off if they said the stubs would be valid, so folk kept them instead of getting their money back at the time only to be told now that they're gubbed for it.

I would be surprised if Utd committed to that so soon after the game was called off, i imagine fans were advised to keep there stubbs until they knew what the arrangements were going to be.

If it was up to me i'd charge them double for the re-match

Should maybe be something the SPL/SFA/whoever come up with some standard practice for how to deal with it in that regard. As much so that the fans don't get messed around [as we always do anyway] and both clubs know from the get-go what the set-up will be... Just a thought likes?

missed that!! oops

[NGP]

The SPL should help out here - say 50% of the costs for stewards / police, then the home team coud just charge a nominal amount - £5.00? There has be some kind of charge for supporters, but a game being stopped due to poor weather, although unusual, will happen in Scotland so the SPL should have a policy in place to support the home team.

[Hibercelona]

They will be paying 1.5x the cost for 1.5x a game.

Makes sense to me tbh.

[danhibees1875]

Was there not a similar situation with a Hibs vs Dundee match years ago?

Fans got in for £1 for the rearranged game.


Think it was called off due to snow...

[Sir David Gray]

I read this last night and I think Dundee Utd are totally out of order here.

The tickets for the last match should be valid for the rearranged fixture.

[Dashing Bob S]

Totally agree with United's stance. Who wants those vile, minging, sectarian bigots in their town?

If they don't like it they are under no obligation to buy tickets.

Damn them all to hell.

[degenerated]

i don't remember there being a uproar when it happened to us at perth after a match was called off at half time because of the snow a few years back.

[bobbyhibs1983]

i think this half price tickets is a good idea as alot of people have said dundee united have to cover cost, i wonder if rangers could arrange buses from glasgow for suports from glasgow?but then again i doubt they have the money,

[Franck is God]

£13 per fan is a lot to cover costs. I doubt Sky will have asked for half the match fee back because it was abandoned...

Perhaps a nominal cost for a fan with a ticket stub from the original game is fair but should certainly be no more than a few quid, maybe as much as a fiver but that should be the maximum.

Think United are a bit out of order with this.

From what I remember fog was the reason that the game was abandoned and IIRC entry to the re arranged tie at ER was free.

Oops, just remembered our televised game against Dundee a few seasons ago being abandoned for snow, think we were being beaten at the time. Don't know if any charge was made for the replay which IIRC we lost

That was only because Hibs didn't have any vouchers/stubs/whatever available. There was a bumper 8,000 crowd at ER for the free-for-all replay.
Them were the days.

I was at both matches and IIRC the second game was a much reduced price of a fiver to get in.
Naturally HIbs played crap and lost 1-0.

I think DU are out of order here.

[Jack]

I wonder if Dundee Utd. would take the same stance if Rangers [and Celtc] hadn’t introduced that money grasping selfish 5% premium on away tickets.

In my own wee world I’d like to think they wouldn’t so that I can rejoice in yet more OF efforts towards supremacy and domination smacking them back in the puss!

Well done Cake Utd.

[Do DU season ticket holders pay???]

[Keith_M]

I was just about to post on this subject.

I think it IS out of order. I personally think the Rangers fans should boycott the game.


IMHO, anyone holding ticket stubs from the first game should be charged a nominal amount (say £5) and I'm sure that'll cover Utd's costs for the game.
