UEFA Cup semi-final thread **Spoilers**

Haiku said:
It seems the Manchester authorities are refusing to put up big screens and are urging fans without tickets not to come down. I wonder if they really realise what's going to hit them?

PS: Do they sell Buckfast in Manchester? Good opportunity for and entrepreneurial Mancunian there.

i think they will have to provide facilities for fans without tickets,if they dont its disgraceful but certain journalists in scotland will do there damdest to spoil the occasion for the rangers fans .
 
Sell out for Leeds las fixture tomorrow before the play-offs, important we get the win and no doubt will rest a few of the players. Will be interesting who we face in the semi's.

I bloody hate play-offs, was nearly sick when we lost to Watford in the Championship play-off final :(

Absolutely, i`m sure they will, unlike your family who....well.....probably don`t know what a cup looks like? ;) . It`s probably something you can all discuss the next time you all gather round a bail of hay.

Speaking of glory hunting, do you recall how many St Mirren "fans" attended the 1987 Scottish Cup final? :D ;)

Silly little joke club that you are. Now run along and go and annoy some Dumbarton fan or whatever village pub team you call your rivals.

Do you know how many fans were at Ibrox in 1985? :p

5000 or so.

Now thats what you call glory hun-ting. :p:p

They couldnt get 25,000 for a Scottish Cup semi final 2 weeks ago. They will take a large following of hangers on and glory hunters, dont forget even Gretna took about 20,000 to the scottish cup final when they usually get about 400 fans each week.

Gretna took 10 000 for the final. An absolute minimum of 25% of these tickets went to Hearts fans. I wouldn't be surprised if Gretna sold 50% of their tickets to Jambos.

Ive read reports of them getting between 12-20k at that final, the fact remains that they had a massive swell of glory hunters for the final who have all but gone.

Now that I've thought about it for 30 mins they were given around 10 000 which increased to 12 000 once they had sold their original allocation. They did sell out their section. However, a very large chunk of their tickets went to Hearts fans. The Gretna ticket office staff were knowingly selling tickets in their section to Jambos.

As far as the glory hunter comment goes you're not wrong.

Really!! I'd love you to point all those posts out to us.

Most of the Celtic fans on here have kept their heads down, and let you gers fans enjoy your result without making snide comments.

As a dyed in the wool tim it wasn't easy to post saying well done.

Take your praise with good grace.
