RangersFanBase 611 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Who remembers the times when Ibrox has been opened on things like European nights when people can't make it abroad, some times Rangers have opened Ibrox and allowed fans in for a small-fee to watch the game on the screens?Well as Ibrox has just had new GIANT Screens fitted, I think Rangers could really be onto a money-earner next season if they open Ibrox on away games aswell, Think about it - These little grounds don't hold much in terms of capacity and alot of fans still want to watch their team; Rangers could charge a small-fee for letting fans into Ibrox (having only a couple of stands open) and allow fans to watch the games on these new screens - Not only would they make money from the small admission charge to Ibrox, but they'd make money on food at half-time etc, and surrounding Rangers pubs at Ibrox would also make some cash.We'd make profit on ticket sales for those going to the away games & for those coming to Ibrox to watch it on the screens & hospitaility etc.Thoughts?

Marky. 6,927 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I like the idea. There's no better place to watch Rangers than at Ibrox and it would be great to be able to say that I've watched Rangers away from home, whilst being at home!The only time I've done it was for the uefa cup final!I'd understand it would need a vast amount of organising though.Maybe for the bigger games!

RangersFanBase 611 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Not many of our games are televised for the next few seasons atleast.Only places to see Rangers are at the games, or on RangersTV or the occassional televised games.

JamieG54 812 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bar 72 aye but big screens freezing and tbh you cant see much on these screens compared to your house widescreen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,621 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Could open Bar 72 or some of the other function suites for away games like we did with the dundeehibs game. £5 entrance with a pie and pint seems reasonable. Dont think opening the stadium to watch the big screens for away games would work with the exception of the biggest games (like the UEFA cup final).

showtime69 514 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 would probably have to pay the home team money and whoever owns the rights,, doubt it would be worth while once all the costs were taken in to account Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary2006 123 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If rangers want the fans to go to ibrox to watch away games they would need to fit ibrox out with as many bar 72 s as they could.im sure that would be a good earner for the club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Would be a good idea , although are you allowed to show a 3pm KO ,when other teams are playing , think theres rules against showing games at certain times , Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I went to one of the beam backs when we played Hearts at Tynecastle at the end of the 9 in a row season. We lost 3-1 and it was shit, could barely see the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnybear1 25 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I remember going to a beam back when we played some Russian team and there were two screens in the centre circle. All I remember was being in the govan and people running across the track from the broomloan cos they couldn't see. Im sure it was the Russian team that michelichenko played for before he signed for us. I think we beat them over to legs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andypendek Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I would hope the redevelopment of Edmiston House would include provision for this.It's a no brainer: get @1,000 Bears on club property and sell them food and drink for 2-3 hours. Easy money. But do it right! No horse-burgers at £5 a go. Real food, half decent drink, well policed. LIke I say, easy money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If games were played during the summer and you could geta few pints, i could see myself doing it at least a couple times a season, unfortunately that isnt and wont be the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
