Bit amateurish. Personally im not going as it feels like a waste of money and a non-event, think they will be lucky to get 10k home fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it on the computer, Rangers looked a lot better in the 1st 45 mins, great improvement, just a lack of finishers at the club, hopefully get the lad from Hearts and Naismith back... Niko Kranjcar still has it in him and Bruno Alves looks a beast Didn't realise Arry was the manager up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers_1986 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm a Rangers fan who actually signed up to OwlsTalk after the last friendly, however this is my first post. I'm looking forward to visiting your fine city again, home of one very proud football club (The Owls!) and two of my favourite bands (Pulp & Milburn). Each time I've been to Sheffield, I've found the people to be extremely welcoming and I'm sure this will be the same on Sunday. I know there are some posters on here who don't particularly care for my club, whether that's because they have leanings for Celtic, or because they feel Wednesday could have attracted a better standard of opposition, and that's fine, I respect your view and I'm not here to change it. For those of you who are looking forward to welcoming us on Sunday, I look forward to having a pint with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The vast majority of our fan base will welcome you with open arms. We have a fairly solid fan base of around 25k fans.and it is virtually impossible to please all of them. You only have to read various other topics and threads on OT to appreciate what a cross section of fans we have. There is also a section who just enjoy stirring it up. Enjoy the day on Sunday as will most owls fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to both the friendly at Hillsborough and Durrants testimonial at Ibrox, drank in the Rangers supporters club up there and went to the Jubilee club and drunk with 1000s of Rangers fans for the Hillsborough match, both times I found the Rangers support a happy, friendly bunch. You were already my preferred Scottish club but this and the exceptional display of colour, noise and passion your fans produced last time at Hillsborough has cemented that. I for one can't wait for Sunday to again have a drink with you lot and then see the atmosphere that 10k plus of you will produce, if others choose not to go it is there loss.

handworth52 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 They ain't 10000 rangers supporters coming sypolice and sag have done there usual and put a stop to it only 6000 been allowed in North now. Loads of rangers supporters got tickets in South stand and coming without tickets. I guess the clowns will section leppings lane off , net 20 rows of seats off and put 500 cops all around them in North stand , last time they came it was a fantastic atmosphere but these clowns are doing there best to ruin things again.

OWLERTON GHOST Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) 23 minutes ago, steveger said: The sooner the club knocks down the away end and replaces it and modernizes what needs doing in our other stands the better... either that or a new ground....aint arsed either way, hell i might even start going again... Missed the " moment" years ago could have had all the land that stretches from our ground across Penistone Road all the way down to where Sunblest Bakery was and build Larger modern Stadium fit for purpose but still maintaining Heritage not that it means much these days to most fans (Preston are the only team who still play on the exact spot that they were formed) let's face facts we are on a tight site and its not going to change. History has dealt the club with attendance issues for an eternity whilst the stadium maintains its footprint . It's a no brainer. We put up with it or relocate let's just say we try to make it a St James Park alteration.. do you really think we would get planning permission with our relationship with the council?

I think my supporters bus are booked into a club for 11am (we're leaving Scotland at 5am lol), but I fancy going along to the stadium and having a look around. Is there a museum I could visit? Or a memorial to the Hillsborough disaster victims? I think it's healthy to educate yourself with another club's history and culture whilst visiting, so I'd quite like to do something like that, if you (or anyone else) have any recommendations. 16 minutes ago, Owl.1867 said: More Rangers fans like this guy would do nicely.

Utah Owl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 We certainly used to have a rather large trophy cabinet in the boardroom that actually had loads of trophies in it! Not sure what happened to it , believe it got moved after the floods in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because The Rangers aren't very good? Thank you for calling us our official name "The Rangers Football Club". I know a lot of fans of other Scottish clubs, mistakenly, think that they are being clever and derogatory about our club when they call us "The Rangers", as they seem to think we were renamed this. However, as you can see from the attached, we have always been called The Rangers. Your point about a "bunch of bigots" isn't really valid either, every club in the land has a minority of idiots that spoil things at times, Rangers have them and I'm sure Wednesday are no different. The vast majority of us want to come down, be respectful of our hosts and enjoy the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
