France ban British Fans

Mon Dec 06, 2021 4:45 pm

Rangers we’re given 2,200 tickets for game V Lyon 3 days ago, a couple of hours ago the Frogs said no away fans will be admitted to stadium. Guys have booked flights accommodation and weighed in for Covid tests. This is nothing to do with football and everything to do with Macron cranking up the anti British hatred with French voters.

Rangers frustrated by late ban on travelling fans

“Our fans will be left out of pocket”

Rangers took fans to Denmark for the previous away group match with Brondby


Rangers say a late decision to ban travelling fans from their Europa League visit to Lyon on Thursday is "bemusing and extremely frustrating".

The Ibrox club had been allocated 2,220 tickets for the final group match.
There is nothing riding on the tie with Lyon already through as winners, while Rangers have second place sewn up.
Lyon will be staging its traditional Festival of Lights and Rangers say they understand this will "test the policing resource and city infrastructure".

While it's not right that they are banned at such short notice after forking over a lot of money to travel your last comment is a bit extreme.

Le wanquerz have changed their minds and are now allowing away fans in.

The FSE and French fan organisations got this ban overturned..not much thanks from the Rangers fans though mostly more abuse.
Short notice bans should never happen its totally unfair on fans who have already booked flights etc.
