Rangers: Following the Hibernian ticket update, Simon Jordan lashes out at “morons” live on talkSPORT.
Following Hibernian’s release of a new ticket update about Rangers’ away allocation, Simon Jordan blasted “morons” for taking flares into football grounds.
Due to recent fan misbehavior in the stands, Hibernian CEO Ben Kensell acknowledged that the club is thinking about reducing the Light Blues’ ticket allocations at Easter Road in the future. [Scotland football, February 28]
Although there are individuals who contend that the utilization of fireworks contributes to the ambiance within the stadium, talkSPORT broadcaster Jordan has taken aim at a Luton Town fan and encouraged him, along with other supporters, including those present at Ibrox, to follow instructions.
“I don’t think football has ever encouraged people to use flares and with that in mind, I think it’s a very simple guideline and a very simple directive,” he said in a speech on talkSPORT on Friday, March 1, at 11:27. This concludes our conversation. Follow instructions and refrain from bringing flares inside the stadium.
“Your viewpoint is unimportant; whether or not you believe it improves the atmosphere is incidental. You must comply with any instructions not to ignite flares.
“There are plenty of idiots who aren’t using the product correctly, despite your claims that it’s safe if used correctly. You may be a sensible man in some ways.”
Will Rangers’ ticket allocation at Easter Road be cut in the future?
Hibs has decided to consider reducing the number of tickets allotted to the Rangers, even if the pyrotechnic displays frequently seen in the away ends of games can look amazing. However, they are not safe for fans.
If teams choose to cap ticket allocations due to the acts of a few fans, it will be a great tragedy if many other Rangers followers are discouraged from visiting venues like Easter Road in the future.
Both at home and away, Rangers supporters will be crucial to Philippe Clement’s team’s quest for the Premiership title this year, therefore it would be devastating to their ambitions if there were empty away ends at stadiums.
It is hoped that Scottish police would take every necessary action to stop these displays inside stadiums and allay concerns about “morons” hurting people inside sports stadiums.
