der Berliner 3,267 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 While doing a bit of prematch stuff for the German board, we happened unto this: Montrose's HP says about Links Park Pitch Size: 113 x 70ydsGround Capacity: 3,292 Seating Capacity: 1,338 Record Attendance: 8,983 (17/3/73) Tayside Police's info on the game ... Montrose FC v Rangers FC - 14 December 2012 A capacity crowd is expected for the Division Three fixture between Montrose FC and Rangers FC on Saturday, December 15, kick-off 12.30pm. Entry to the ground is by ticket only and there will be no ticket sales at the ground. Around 3000 Rangers fans are expected to travel to Links Park from Glasgow and changes have been made to traditional home and away sections of the ground given the large travelling support. Montrose supporters have been allocated the East Terrace, access via turnstiles at Union Row, and the right side of the Main Stand. Rangers fans will occupy the Covered Terrace, the South West area, the North Terrace - with access to the ground is via turnstiles at Wellington Street- and the left side of the Main Stand. Match Commander Superintendent Kevin Lynch said: â??â??We welcome Rangers to Angus for what we hope will be an excellent fixture. We hope that both sets of supporters enjoy the occasion in the correct manner and enjoy the day. â??â??Given that we expect a near-5000 capacity crowd at the game, there will be a significant increase in traffic in Montrose during Saturday. We would appeal to those attending the game to recognise that the stadium sits within a residential area and to be considerate of residents. â??â??Furthermore, those attending should be aware that there will be no on street parking at or near to Links Park on Saturday. Residents have been advised accordingly by club officials.â??â?? Well well ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The wiki page for Links Park has been VERY recently updated with a capacity of 5000 claimed and references the Tayside Police article for this match, so it would appear that they are on the ball. Maybe they applied for increased capacity and had it granted.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Article from 6th December in The Courier states that Montrose have confirmed a capacity increase, so as I thought, they must have applied and had it granted.

Super_Ally 0 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Article from 6th December in The Courier states that Montrose have confirmed a capacity increase, so as I thought, they must have applied and had it granted. In the black with green and blue: Angus clubs hope to cash in when Old Firm come calling (last paragraph of the article) Was it not rumoured that Elgin sold tickets for a capacity increase prior to it being granted, hence the cock up there? may be bullshit though. Irrelevant to the current point anyway I guess. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
