wellfan09 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Would be awesome if all the Well fans were able to meet up somewhere in town before it. Something similar (on a smaller scale numbers wise) to the church on the hill before the cup final would be quality and get everyone fired up! Dont know if im going to make it myself though as im moving up to dundee and train tickets are so fucking expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Aye, I'll likely be going along. Never seen us win at Ibrox. A few draws though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 So why not the supporter's buses? Is it a preference thing or is there another reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I dare say its more down to the fact that on certain buses you won't be allowed a sneaky beverage or two. Not so much an issue now with the new motorway but remember some of our visits in there.in the past on buses and given the traffic jams you invariably get going to Ibrox, you'd be nearly in tears bursting for a piss by the time you get there. I've seen folk give up and get off the bus at Provan Gas works before!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think the potential for aggro at ibrox is being massively overhyped! The worst you're likely to get is the odd snide remark, and over fussy policing and stewarding. I can't think of a single time I've felt physically threatened at ibrox or parkhead. Boxing outside away end when we beat them the weekend they went into admin. There will be trouble of some sort at this. Would be amazed if there wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know that. I'm actually seriously considering going but I finish work at 5 and by the time I get home and all that I was thinking the bus would be an option. I'm in 2 minds now, I might just get the train straight from work and leave my colours at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bus would be good if we were to take around 1000 to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it a load of h*n supporting neds at the Orange Walk that smashed up our empty bus on its way to pick us up for the Masters? Wee arseholes, but it's not really the same thing. As I said before, there'll be abuse, intimidation and perhaps even the odd scuffle if the two parties are game, but chat about anything more is pretty over the top IMO.

stuwell Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I've no doubt that if we manage to beat them then there will be trouble outside after the game. I know some tossers at work who are foaming at the mouth already - might have something to do with me winding them up - but trust me some of the rangers fans have no respect and total hatred for anyone who supports an spl team and us beating them will send them over the edge!

Frazzie Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I have no intention of this turning into an argument so instead of saying "supporters buses are pure pish", I'll just say "supporters buses are not for me". Each to their own and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerWoodsMFC Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Sadly I'm on holiday so I'll miss the game...well when I say "sadly", I'm in Florida so it's not so bad. I would have loved to have went to the game, the last one we played against them at Ibrox was one of the best awaydays I've had! And as for the potential "aggro", I'd imagine the Old Bill would keep us in the ground until the orcs had gone back to their caves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather donate 20 quid to one of the Steelmen Forever initiatives (and watch the game on telly) than fund either of the bigot brothers' bile.

They'd get the same cut if it was a home game or neutral venue though, which I assume no one would object to attending? I'm looking forward to a good gloatfest tbh!

gilmour Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 All its and buts, fact is its not at fir park. Even if it was I wouldn't go I won't subject my kids to either of the ugly sisters. Season tickets go unused. Good idea to donate to the club will probably do that.
