Saint_Jonny Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 Should be a good evening I reckon Rangers and Arse will bring plenty of fans, as lets face it, they are both massive and have fans everywhere.

shurlock Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 Cue all the wannabe sectarian posturing - but really some sweatie smalltimers (the squad not the support) shot to pieces by admin?

They played in a tournament there a few years ago, took about 10k there and played in a sold out ground. Delighted to have the famous Glasgow Rangers coming to town.

Only thing I found 'wrong' with that as such is that it is a cup competition in memory of Liebherr, so it'd be a bit odd to have it at another ground.

This Charming Man Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 Clearly part of the "insert Rangers player we are signing here" deal. Their entire squad have just had release clauses activated due to them all taking pay cuts. So if we wanted any of them, they'd be no need to negotiate anything like this as part of the deal. The only Rangers players I'd be excited about would be Naismith or McGregor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%Red&White Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 More than happy to see Rangers coming to the party but could be a few issues. With big visiting support expected from both them and the Gooners, are we going to see 2 separate away sections? They may have to give an entire split Northam over. Then as Saints v Arse is the last match on, the sweaties are going to bail out early and fill most of the boozers in the area. And there's always the possibility of a few skates thinking they could turn up in support of their new bestest-bankrupt-buddies from north of the border.

The9 Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 Consider me massively underwhelmed. Was going to do this and take in the Olympic torch too, now might just pitch up to see the torch on its short trip to the ground instead. Then again they might unveil a new kit, so there's still that. It's way too early for the matches to be remotely competitive with the season a month afterwards, and I'm utterly unconvinced that anyone's going to be particularly interested in travelling in any great numbers to see it.

I'd say there'll be considerably more 'Gers than Gooners who could have a couple of thousand. The Jocks will see it as a mini holiday, a trip to the seaside (let's hope they like docks) and will bring plenty down and that number will be bolstered by many Rangers supporters around the south. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for the Arsenal players they is gonna be well confused when they get a awarded a bear! They're probably bringing down champagne expecting to be awarded a big golden cup but you can't drink champagne from a bear! The whole thing is ridiculous. It'd be like someone calling me Cupsy.
