OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Do we know the dates of both pictures. I'm guessing the latest is very recent and the older one must be 60s/70s with the tower block in the background. I suspect the picture is taken from the other tower blocks at the Copland end.I also think there's a sad element to the older picture, which older bears may be able to confirm. I believe that's stairway 13 on the right, which causes pause for thought at, especially at this time of year. Spare a thought for those poor souls.

The older pic is in the sixties. There is no cover to the Copland Road end. As for the disaster stairway, yes that is it on the right. Every time I see an old photo of the stairway I think back to that awful day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The reason I ask minstral is that from that animation it doesn't look like there was the space for it before the ground was redeveloped Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 looks like it here ThermoIt's not there is it?Stairway 13 in painfully narrow when you see it there . In the modern Ibrox the exits take up about half the frontage but that is perhaps only 10% of the end. I wonder what part the railway played ... it would certainly have been easier to widen it if there had been more room Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what part the railway played ... it would certainly have been easier to widen it if there had been more roomNot there, but the land it was built on might be.Speaking of the Disaster, I visited my elderly uncle today - he's in a care home near Ibrox, he has terminal cancer and his memory is going so we find it easier to reminisce about events years ago. We were talking about that terrible day, and I said I assumed he had been at the game. He was quiet then replied not only was he at the game but as he made his way down the exit stairway adjacent to passageway 13 he could see people falling. He must have been so close to losing his life that day, and it took me 42 years to find this out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,286 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Your uncles generation fought the fascists and then rebuilt the country in the late 40s and 50s .I just mention the social club because I'm sure there wasn't any room for it when the old ground was there and yet in my thoughts it also seems older than the new one ... and obviously both can't be right Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the pic I posted there is a strip of land between the outside boundary wall of the old East Terracing and the tenements, which I think it was later built on.

The stairway was as wide as the other three main staircases. They were wide enough but the problem was simply the volume of people exiting at one time. There were two other smaller staircases at the end of the Main Stand and two exits under the old shed opposite the stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
