Them getting a full stand behind our goalkeeper when we always got put in the corner with restricted view gave them a advantage for years
Never give that lot the full Broomloan again 🇬🇧
100%
@@ruaraidhmorrison6727 I agree, i would only tolerate it if they gave us the same stand behind their goal and not stuck in a corner miles away.
@@yogaflame7884F'em
best thing club has ever done . never let them back in .
to have a waiting list of over ten thousand year after years now should be addressed crazy to keep all those fans out .
With regards to stadium expansion - need to go the full hog and do 3-4K per corner. 1300 per corner won’t do enough
Optimising additional seats could make Ibrox a 75,000 capacity stadium, which would be a game-changer in terms of finances, with 75,000 season ticket holders. A 50%+ increase in matchday revenue. Spreading the cost over 10 years and divided by 75,000 fans with say a 5% or 6% rise in season ticket prices would be a small price to pay.
Technically speaking, it may be possible to lower the level of the pitch and tank the perimeter to avoid water table issues, and to do it without moving out of Ibrox, by carrying on the construction below the pitch which could be suspended on a deck, which can then be lowered down in stages, as the construction progresses.
And we'd fill that no problem, biggest club in scotland by a country mile.
Now you got me thinking. Keep the pitch a micro adjustable tilting platform and force the opposition to always play uphill.
@@noncompliance4100 If only, Rangers enjoyed a level playing field in Scottish football.
I would build a new stadium if we could find the finance
@@johnshields4333Rangers belong at Ibrox Stadium.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE 🏴 🇬🇧
Get rid of the screens, 8000 additional seats will pay for itself over the years!! 10k on the waiting list already.
Got to say with regards to Stevie Clifford - I quite often find myself baffled and disagreeing with his on the pitch football opinions 😂 but when it comes to fans and the club and what the fans want to hear and how the club should respond he is always bang on the money. He asks the right questions and doesn’t seem to cow tow to the club in return for favours as many in the past have done. Keep it up Stevie 👍🏻 (maybe lay off the on the pitch chat 😜)
I didn't think the pitch could be lowered any further due to the water table of The Clyde.
Correct
It was bad planning in the first place to install the Jumbo screens.
put the screens above the copeland stand and broomland stand and get rid of the hidious stair cases at each end
We should expand our stadium, You can't dig down because the pitch will get smaller, And you need to stay above the water table of rising tides of the River Clyde for obvious reasons, I remember when the Broomloan, Govan and Copland stand being built and it was announced back then that the three stands were built to take another tier on top if required, so the structure is already in place, the simple square design of the stands would make it a quicker build process. I'm pretty sure Rangers could dig out the old archives. BUILD IT AND WE WILL COME!!!
I saw we are being linked with the CF Benie Traore. I would happily take him for upfront and bring in Shankland. We really also need wide threats for right and left. A midfielder in and CB. Do that and we have a chance.
On a side note I think Bisgrove is brilliant. A guy who knows how to make money and his appointment of Zeb as Head of youths is another good move.
loweing the pitch isnt gona happen we need the screens gone there hidious we can sell the screens we dont need them we can buy smaller screens to put on each end of the side stands its a no brainer to put the seating areas where the screens are and get rid of the stair cases at each corner and rejoin them into the main stands
Would the screens have to be relocated to ensure we still adhere to the Stadium standards to keep our stadium rating up? On the point of being close to replacing Craig Mullholland, that was an important one for me, more important than the Sporting Director one. The Safe Standing is definitely worth it. There are so many people that stand anyway.. So whats the difference.
Screens can hang from the stands like they do in many countries
Ibrox has been far to small now for long long time . the Leeds United game back in the 90s Campbell olgavie back then said there was a demand of over 150,00 tickets for that game . should be a minimum 65 to 70 thousand . we had the biggest club stadium in Britain and beyond at one time for a reason. the club needs to address this and do it properly and not half hearted . the demand is there years after years .
I would rather we invested 25mil into the team to be honest. Get back to consistently winning trophies then we can look at expanding.
There's an idea..
I agree, get everything on the pitch right first and then expansions etc.
Thats my thoughts also, the 1st team is the bread and butter. You dont build a house starting with the roof first
Yet the increased capacity gives us more money ti oump into the team each year and raises the ceilimg on FFP and leagues financial sustainability criteria.
In short, we can then buy better players and offer higher wages.
If we do it later rather than sooner then we fall further behind the unwashed in finances. Especially as they are planning on building a sma stadium at the training ground for the womens and youth teams.
We just have a tiny stand.
I just need £101M spare, 1m for me and the rest I can give to the club lol.
So whats the planned final capacity???
What about the other corners
No THIMZ at Ibrox
Will we be using 2 up front this season not really seen anything about singing wingers and seems to be a huge influx is strikers linked
25 million, that's crazy money, no way is it gonna cost 25 million pounds to fill in 2 corners, I'm sure they just pull numbers out of thin air..
I think if you go back to filling in the corners it cost nearly 10 million.working up there at the time a boy asked the question why they no just putting in seats instead of screens
@@72Tales We aint Liverpool, they got well and truly gouged, same as what will happen to us if we are not carefull, idea rip the seats out the front of the copland and Broomloan stick in a safe standing terrace, surley get an extra couple thousand people in that way, i don't think we even paid that amount for the Mainstand revamp and that had a dose of work done an extra tier and roof stuck on..
@@technohead9670agreed
Why not get rid of the seats in certain areas and get back to standing in the enclosures . Things have changed since the old days and much improved safety measures available.
People seem to be getting very scared at this £25-£30m number for filling in the corners as if it’s not realistic. We would only be putting up around £10m of that number then taking out a loan on the rest. Not the best time to take a loan out in this current economic climate but very doable when we likely look to do this in a couple of years time 👍
good morning brothers and sisters
The idea of the screens was ridiculous in the first place rather than just filling it in at the time. Yet another blunder by David Murray. The capacity after the first refurbishment was supposed to be 52,000 yet u never ever see that even prior to the having some rows empty around the tunnel. Its always 49,000 & something or 50,123 or something like that for old firm or European matches ever since. As i used to look up offical attendances going back years n years. Not sure of that's because they just dont sell that many tickets or deliberately keep the attendance down or its not true that the capacity is 52,000. It came out Murrays own mouth it was 52. So it it does go up to say 58,000 is it actually going to be that...
It's 50,800. Will go up to 51500 with disabled area adding 600 seats
£25 million for 2 daft wee corners Robert McAlpine built the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff for £125M a full stadium. Lowering the pitch is a dodgy one too close to river Clyde and water table.
get rid of the screens and exstend the seating area areound the screen sections and get rid of these hidious stair wells looks awfull they could exstend the corners around the stairwells and rid of the stair section at each corners
10:50 did he apologise for what they did to Bar 72 season ticket holders? Eh.. no
The club has to find a way of increasing to 65-70k capacity because the Septic have been planning to increase to 70k for years.
We just know as soon as Ibrox is upgraded then Septic tank will be upgraded higher. So the financial imbalance will remain unless Ibrox is 70k min.
I am all for moving the big screens and lowering the pitch but we must put in Disabled facilities as planned and make them worthwhile.
every fans a season holder at ibrox should have a bucket and go around collecting money for the upgrade of the stadium and i am pretty sure we all can chip in the finances to support the club on the upgrade of the stadium we all should help the club the more the merrior we all should help our club gain
As much as I want this we need to focus on winning trophies at the moment 2 since we have came back up and so far behind them lot
I hope Jimmy B gets a statue.
Either that or some sort of tribute like a portrait.
@@positivevibesrfc Something special is a must.
@@jacksonbow2766 Agreed Jimmy deserves a real and permanent tribute.
Just a WEE thought Y is every1 writting Hagi off including Johny McFarlaine after a long injury BUT rhink Lawrence is gawna come back after similar injury plus setbacks n hes gawna be lk a new signin BS Gie Hagi a chance in his natural position
they should never get a full stand again , our fans get a sh!tty corner.a stand for a stand that's the way it should be if they're getting anything at all.
I would give them nothing.
Too many ads!
There's no ads if you join our membership scheme mate.
Qualifying for the Champions league
Get the corners sorted, lower the pitch, get safe standing and BOOM.... we will have maximised season ticket revenue, burst the seams for European nights, Old Firms and our club will be kindly rewarded in revenue and will be the envy of every club in Scotland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stadium demolition more like.What a silly wee stadium we built.
Check the crowds when it was built,crowds were dire then
@@suffern63 The stadium should have been designed for 80-100 thousand and stage one should have been completed leaving David Murray who would have finished it but people with no ambition put 3 stupid wee stands up. Me, my brother and ma pals started going to see Rangers in1981 an I remember the attendances being 12-16000 thousand.
It was basically one of the best when it was built. A tad harsh on the guys who built it at the time
Ibrox is great.
@@scotireland3087 that low in 81? Wow. The league revamp in mid 70s was allegedly due to falling attendances but the records show the attendances never changed much lol.
I didn't realise it got that low at Ibrox.
So we lost a bigger league without gaining any extra fans.
Now we have 10k waiting they say. I stopped waiting for a season ticket. Just go when I can and use RTV.
I would be happy to see a big increase in capacity.
Any chance of getting guest appearances by female blogger or player. Too many bald or balding men for my liking
A corner with restricted view or a full stand? Seems the balance is off in my opinion. ❤🤍💙
