If you read the announcement it seems like a very reasonable request from the club under the circumstances.
I was at Anfield last time we played there in Aug 1995. It wasn't a big support that night (midweek game) but even then the Anfield Road end was pretty old and the back rows didn't have great viewing. Not a problem then as there were enough empty seats at the front for people to move forwards. That will not be the case on Saturday with a sell out crowd and several hundred of the seats Rangers sold are marked "severely restricted view" - rows 35 and 36 I think.
I know sitting at games is a bit of a yawn but if everyone stands then several hundred Rs fans will see nothing of the game.
I know Liverpool have also reduced the ticket allocation for Man Utd due to
persistent standing so that's yet another reason why it's best for Rs fans to
sit down on Saturday where possible - as if ensuring that our fans with the
severely restricted view tickets see something of the game isn't enough.
