Frankie 8,146 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The Blue Order and Union Bears are delighted to announce that as of next season both groups will be located in BF1, and we invite all fans with desire to improve the atmosphere and further cause of the groups to join us. After discussions with the club it was agreed that the traditional BF4/5 singing section will now be moved to BF1 with the added bonus that the groups would be in charge of transferring new recruits into the section, and also the seating arrangements. This is of course aside from the existing season ticket holders who have been given the opportunity to move their seat anywhere else in the stadium free of charge if they don�t want to be involved in the new section. We are extremely pleased with this, it gives the groups the opportunity to have a section to grow both vocally and visualy in aid of the team. The key points are as follows: All those moving to BF1 WILL recieve a ticket for both Derby games at Ibrox. Once you have registered your intention to move we require you to sign and return a transfer form which we can either email you or meet you in person with. This is also providing the section has not already been filled. We have a few expectation for fans wanting to transfer; we want you to be willing to sing your heart out for 90 minutes and to participate in any displays in the section. Of course we�d like for everyone to contribute to the groups in terms of membership and creating the fantastic displays we hope to produce, but we know that everyone�s circumstances are different and not all are able to take a more hands-on approach. Everyone who currently sits in BF4/5 will not be moved unless you contact TBO and state your intention to do so. Season ticket holders in this area WILL STILL receive tickets for both derby games despite not moving over. Already there is massive interest in joining the groups next season with around 200 people already stating their intention to join. As such if anyone is interested in joining the new section we advise you to contact us at http://www.theblueorder.co.uk and click on the Contact Us link. We need you to provide us with the following details:- Name Address (including postcode) Rangers Number Email Address Telephone Number Here�s to a new era at Ibrox. Existing 'singing section' (BF4/BF5) season ticket holders will be given priority over new recruits however after seven days from now the folk in BF4/BF5 will lose that priority status.

Bluedell 5,329 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Do the TBOers look upon the switch to move further away from the away support as a negative? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 IMO the majority of the away fans are poor and rarely add to the atmosphere these days. Apart from Ian1964 starting songs such as 'get yer tits oot' and 'you fat b*****d' nothing much else happens in the away end 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Do the TBOers look upon the switch to move further away from the away support as a negative? I wondered the same. Reading that, i'm gutted i'm no longer in a position to have a ST. Would have moved my old BF3 seat in a heartbeat. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carmylebear Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Best of luck to all you guys. Shame it has to come to something like this, not like the old days when the place was bouncing at every home game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,146 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Do the TBOers look upon the switch to move further away from the away support as a negative? I was worried about this a wee bit as the banter between supports can be quite good. However, as Johnny says, by and large, most away supports are poor and don't react so given we're moving in order to have a bigger, better section that's one small negative worth moving past. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
