Bazzas right boot Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Shambles, split should always be 50/50 with unsold tickets then being offered to the other side. It should get the chance to be as "neutral" as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Scottish football is biased and corrupt, get used to it. We could be bought by a Saudi and it would not be allowed to happen, through fear the duopoly would be smashed. They 2 could receive Saudi investment and it would be totally waved through.

Bull's-eye Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Might as well give the whole stadium to Rangers. Its time a club made a proper stand against this type of Shit.

It's basically the Glasgow FA ensuring the Old Firm get the lions share of everything.

kingantti1874 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 They should have been given the opportunity to sell the tickets, the segregation excuse is a lie. id love to see the other clubs including hearts, grow a spine and walk away from games with the old firm. Let them play each other 36 times and their corrupt west coast referees can take turns ****ing them over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Imagine Aberdeen just returned all the tickets, that would be an amazing move. Like how much more can Scottish football bend over to give them every marginal gain possible?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Hans Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Not only an unfair split, the ticket prices are extortionate. £49/44 for the South stand, £39 for behind the goals. Kids £26. In comparison the Scottish Cup final prices v Rangers in 2022, tickets were £35 and £30. Doncaster clearly lining up his next bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KG1874 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 As others have said only way things like this gets stopped is by making a massive statement. Write to the SPFL and say rangers fans can have our 19500 tickets and their B team can also take our place in the final because we won’t be there. Many thanks you corrupt shower of ^^^^s.

buzzbomb1958 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Why is anyone surprised it’s not call the Glasgow SFA for nothing , it’s partly every club in the top flight to blame , if they stood up and fought together to fight against biased decisions that favour these two vile institutions . Tell the SFA to shove it refuse to play the final ( a very hard thing to bring about but I think the fans would go for it) imagine the ructions that would cause and every other team would have to back Aberdeens stance , also refuse any allocation at all for both of the uglies, and if the SFA want to punish teams then refuse to play anymore games until all teams are treated the same way as the uglies, it’s getting all those teams to come together and fight this but as always you have sides who hang onto the uglies coat tails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percival King Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Maybe the head of the Aberdeen supporters federation should write a "Dear Neil" letter.

ToadKiller Dog Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 As we know the game is run in the interest of 2 clubs ,in every decision made ,in how and where the officials come from ,in how teams/league is promoted in the media ,which games are chosen for live coverage be that radio Scotland or sky TV. There is little space for growth for the rest of us ,we soon will hit the glass ceiling . The corruption Is blatant because they know any opposition is soon broken up by self interest .

The spfl have a duty in the first instance to attempt to create as neutral a venue as possible by giving the non ugly side a chance to sell as many as able. This nonsense of rangers always getting the west end is also a sign that they don't give a crap about neutrality or fairness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter McGavin Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 The fact that an unfair deal is now the SPFL’s default position, and the other clubs need to make a case as to why they should be treated equally is beyond embarrassing. You couldn’t paint a red neck on the blazers at this point. Aberdeen should just forfeit the game, no final taking place, to make the situation even more farcical.

132goals1958 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Increasingly the legislators are treating the other clubs as more or less there to make up the numbers. Travelling to Glasgow for a semi final invariably is arguably less attractive than a final. This is a precedent for a final which is an absolute scandal and compromises the very basis of neutrality. Don’t be surprised if Scottish cup finals are similarly carved up. This is further evidence that the clowns that run the game are only interested in two clubs.
