Devonbear the shefield forum was exactly the same 3 or 4 guys slavering the same muck about us being a sectarian club bla bla bla.

The week after the game everyone who was there said it was a brilliant atmosphere and craic with both sets of fans.

What fitba is all about...

I am mystified by the animosity shown to Rangers on this forum. I attended Rangers friendlies last year with Bristol Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday and had great days out at both matches with no trouble whatsoever and great interaction with opposing fans in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Ipswich town provided a similarly great occasion and were very welcoming.

The forums of both Wednesday and Rovers looked forward to the visit of rangers and did not resort to the insulting and sanctimonious comments that I have read on this forum. No such friendly behaviour or welcome awaits us from your fans.

I am unsure what you feel warrants your apparent and obvious feeling of superiority over a team like Rangers. We have appeared in several European finals, as recently as 2004, and hold many world records including a league attendance of 118,00. Indeed we had 38,000 season tickets last year for what effectively was the Scottish third division.

It is true to say that finances and TV rights now play such a major part in football that Scottish teams and Rangers in particular have suffered financially and now struggle to complete in buying players. Payments from Sky tv to English lower league teams dwarf our payout. Does this really warrant your contempt and air of superiority.

I for one couldn't care less if you all stay at home and don't attend the match. This would further confirm my view that you seem to be a  bunch of glory hunting part time supporters that only want to attend a friendly if the away team meets your inflated views of being worthy of playing DCFC

I support my team regardless of the opposition and so do 45,000 Rangers fans every home match. Over 10,000 will make this trip on Saturday. Please do not think for one moment that you are the star attraction. We are merely taking the opportunity to show our support in troubled times and have a great day out with fellow fans in a different environment.

My only regret is that Rangers didn't arrange a match against a team with more pationate and friendly fans. 

 

LOL part time supporters? we had a full house every week in the premier league when we saw utter garbage every week from our team.

 

Attendance wont be high because its a FRIENDLY

If 11,800 is a record league attendance, you must be playing in a pretty **** league.

No one is interested in pre season friendles, against Sunderland and west Brom the last couple of years we only got a few thousand, and they are premiership teams (just). I'm not quite sure why you think Rangers are a big enough draw to reverse that trend given the uselessness of the Scottish league.
