Was interesting to see Dunfermline take a really good support there for the League Cup game recently though (albeit they dont play there very often now so was a 'big' game for them) Exact same happens at Ibrox though and we almost always sell out our 800 for there. Drops to 200 if you're luck at Parkhead for some reason. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 regulary go to most away games even with the now year on year increased prices and somehow find the money but cannot make this one and not too fussed atm ----- feel money will have better value both for our cup tie and for other away trips to come 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 There is a Twenty's Plenty campaign that has had a limited number of breakthroughs but deserves more support. This is one interesting feature that I found http://www.scotzine.com/2016/04/scottish-football-has-a-second-chance/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aumgn Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Prices are snide yes but every time we get it right up one of those two (and this has happened many times lately and could very easily happen at this game), I’d pay 50 quid plus for a ticket. Way I justify it is it balances out in the long term! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of them myself St Mirren, Hearts, Hibs & Motherwell have always been more appealing fan wise. I've never been to Parkhead myself but planning on going to the game in Feb solely to "tick it off the list" and never go back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I really, really grudge them the money. Been half a dozen times in my life, 3 Celic and 3 Sevco. Hate going. That said, the home support at Ibrox last season was less unpleasant than the away support at RP imo. I don’t go away every game and inevitably you choose games based on a variety of factors. Planning first-ever Dingwall trip this season; far more appealing that a game in Glasgow. Edited September 19, 2019 by NorfolkG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the issue is we've zerp support at there ever and therefore a s**te record. It's not a surprise our record at ibrox is better with a much bigger support. Just a shame really as there's been times we've barely had 100. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fankle Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 The area around Parkhead is certainly a lot more welcoming than it used to be, but the view inside is still terrible. I guess in comparison Ibrox is slightly easier to get to from Kilmarnock which might mean more fans go there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hate that place. Went every away game we played there (and hampden) from promotion til about 2001ish. Been twice since when sammon scored in a 1-1 midweek draw in about -5°c and when we were skelped last season. View is crap, food is crap, pubs are crap, home fans are scum, never get a fair crack from the ref. Final straw for me was when joos valgaaren scored with an offside possible handball in the 2nd minute of 5 mins injury time..........whistle pretty much went straight away. May as well just have said we're playing til they win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie89 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I can understand fewer people going (cost, terrible record, being surrounded by bigots etc) but our support seems to totally drop off a cliff at Parkhead. If we could even take a few hundred it would at least be something, but I’ve been in some truly embarrassing travelling supports there over the years. Always feel sorry for the players, it must be soul destroying waking out and seeing that. Anyway I never made it to either game there last season so I’m currently on a 2 match unbeaten streak at Parkhead - hopefully I can bring some good luck on Sunday! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Our hopeless record there won't help but for me the view is the major issue. I've been to Celtic Park for a few Scotland games but I can never justify the money for sitting in that away end with such restricted views. £30 for this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I went to the glasgow warriors final in may, sat at the front of the upper tier in the opposite corner from the away end. Good view of the pitch but getting there is brutal. Terrible stadium, like a rabbit warren. Would hate to be in there in an emergency situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming that would be the restricted view where they charge the bargain price of just £27. There’s generally plenty of room in the away section, so you can pretty much sit wherever you want - usually no need to be behind a pole. P.S. Hope I’ve not opened a can of worms with the “sit where you want” comment! Parkhead is the one ground where there should be no issues with that!

Pretty much sums up Ibrox with a slightly better view TBH. Wouldn't drink near either Parkhead or Ibrox on a match day, usually stay city centre. Although St Lukes is decent near Barras, as is West on the Green. Old Toll Bar and Park Bar are decent on Paisley Road. Usually only drink near either stadium if it's midweek or like sunday an early KO. 32 minutes ago, red_dug said: Final straw for me was when joos valgaaren scored with an offside possible handball in the 2nd minute of 5 mins injury time..........whistle pretty much went straight away Remember that game well, was near end of the season IIRC. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
