Don't know what the fuss is about the home game. Any Rovers fan who wants a ticket will be able to go. As long as you're on the database. It's just too risky promoting it as a match to attract "new" supporters, as it's obvious a lot of these places would be taken up by Celtic fans, or even worse, ticket touts look for a fast buck.
No, my gripe is with the away match.....
The fact is that those fans who travel to watch Rovers on a regular basis, and attend every cup home game as well, have as much chance of going to the Celtic game as a first time season ticket holder who’s never seen Rovers away does.
And all this talk about those committed fans will be the first in the queue on Monday.
Well, correct me if I’m wrong but how difficult is it to get a Rovers ticket at an away match these days? It ain’t difficult at all. So I don’t see a correlation between forking out hundreds of pounds to watch Rovers at Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Man City etc and having an ability to get up in the morning and queue up in the rain for a couple of hours.
And incidentally, this has nothing to do with me, as I’m not a season ticket holder and haven’t been to all those games above. I would, if I could, but that’s another matter.
Still, got a great chance of getting Celtic tickets now though.
