Remember people Rangers are in town on Tuesday prior to playing United in the Champ League

and being held in our stadium before going to OT!

Good or Bad??

If ever there was a good reason to stay in that night that's it.

Cant for the life of me understand how they are well supported - Scottish football is gash (see the Lichtenstein match the other night for evidence), United will put six past them.

Because when it comes to the CL, both Rangers and Celtic in the past take big followings away to other gorunds than most other clubs despite the league being very poor. Why are they being held at the DW Stadium though exactly? Is it a place for them to drink before hand etc...? Not heard anything about it really.

Celtic and Rangers aren't just about football.
Funny how DW had all those rows with GMP about not paying them for policing the stadium and they end up bringing 10,000 + Rangers fans to Wigan under their supervision because last time they were in Manchester they trashed the place.
Thanks GMP

They get a comfort break in the stadium for a few hours before being handed out their official tickets and then board the buses to OT. Think its a way of ensuring the only fans to enter Manchester from Glasgow on this day is via this route only. (And Whelan making a few quid out of it).

somat to do with all the that went on in manc city last year or year before when they WRECKED IT thousands turned up without tickets and made a mess of the city !

so they get to wreck Wigan / OUR stadium instead GREAT

I'll not bother going down for any tickets on Tuesday!

wont need to till week after any way till we know who we are playing in week three

for once i'll be

i'm not working in Wigan that day!!

And

I have to take the flags down Monday Morning Before they come!



Plus I'll be



Oh, and it's before a Tics Photoshoot at 12!

Leave them up!

So SSN says 125k supporters turned up in manc last year and ripped the place up! 3.5k OFFICIAL fans are coming down on coaches "AND WILL ONLY GET THEIR TICKETS ON THE JOURNEY TO OT" whats to stop more Rangers fans turning up on their own via train or car or coach with out any tickets (and turning up in Wigan to be with their mates before going to Manchester without tickets and ripping our place up)??

I remember when they were in manchester last year. I was in Salford having an exam and I could hear them as my exam room was near the train station. Then a bus load got off at the front of the uni and came inside looking for toilets. bedlam!

although, to be fair, manchester invited them with open arms, promised they'd be able to watch the game on a big screen, then didnt put it on.

pfft im working at the cinema near the stadium, think ill leave my car at home that night and barrier myself in a screen til they go!

Shiit! Has anyone seen the panic button?!

Nothing will happen.

i would keep the flags on the south stand then rangers fans would know which is the main team in town

scots always have the minor sport in the belive when its against the PREMIER league team

They've done it before the last time they played Utd in the CL



I'll give you a hand don't worry.

I await the comments from Captain 13 !!!!!!!!

Could be waiting a wee while as he's currently away in Greece, I believe he seen Rogues and mrs Rogues staggering after celebrating the Stains win last night. Should I change the locks on the house doors?

Sell the house while he's away, move to Wigan, dont give him the new address, just leave him his Ray French signed underpants and photograph of Tom Van Vollenhoven's cat as reminders of better times !!!

Yes. Yes you should

Firstly, yes... i am in Kefalonia and watching the Rugby league with mr and mrs rogues whilst sparing a thought for you lot in the UK shivering your titties off



re: Rangers coming to town, there will be no bother at all, fair credit to mini rogue and his comments which are bang on.. The problems in Manchester May 2008 were down to many factors and also the fact that Rangers will never reach a european final (certainly in my lifetime) so everyone and his dog made the trip and got pished = trouble no matter who it was. And for the undeducated in the sport (which there is a few on this thread) Rangers visited Manchester United in october 2003 and that passed without trouble and so will this! Gtr Manchester Police are treating this occasion with a hint of paranoia (and rightly so).

Anyway, back to my pint of Amstel!! yeh, mines a pint brian.... erm like i said ...... cheerio

I went to Manchester in 2008 specifically to watch the match on the big screens. I saw no trouble at all. There was trouble but it certainly wasn't thousands of maurauding hooligans like it was made out to be.
