Four Lads react to official Rangers statement today as Ibrox plans outlined
Four Lads have hailed the “great news” announced by Rangers regarding plans for supporters inside Ibrox starting with next month’s visit of Livingston.
The Gers confirmed on their official website on Tuesday (9 January) that a trial will begin next month to maximise the number of tickets on sale for home fans.
Visiting teams who do not take up a large allocation of tickets will now be seated in the Club Deck, rather than the Govan West Corner.
The Livingston match will act as a trial, following which the club will decide whether to repeat the scheme for further fixtures of a similar magnitude.
Four Lads Had A Dream posted on Twitter [9 January]: “Great move and maximising our supporters is a good thing.”
Can only be a positive
The club stress that this scheme will only be rolled out for games in which the away fans do not take up a large allocation.
That means visiting clubs are not being cheated out of tickets – they are there for them if they want them.
As with this Livingston example on 3 February, though, there are enough seats in the Club Deck to accommodate those making the trip to Ibrox for the Scottish Premiership clash.
That will free up more tickets for Rangers supporters, making for – you hope – a better atmosphere all around.
More than 20,000 supporters are on the season ticket waiting list, so it is clear that something had to be done to help with that type of demand.
It is a scheme that makes perfect sense on the face of it and should become a regular feature assuming this trial against Livingston goes well.
In other Rangers news, a “very interesting” transfer twist is now reportedly possible at Ibrox before the transfer window closes.
