General Custer 516 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looking on the official Rangers website today at the photographs of the main stand, the best in the world in my opinion, got me wondering why we don't move the gantry on to the Govan stand. I realise there are more pressing issues at present but I was curious what others bears thought of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Unfortunately it's written into the contracts that the media must be given seats as near to the half way line as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and True 311 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 TV is now on the Govan side is it not?Just press in the main stand Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
better than all the rest 153 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 One of the longest gantry's in the game,so they were saying when we did the Ibrox tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking that since we have the best stand in world football we might as well show it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchie1804 2 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I agree, my first memory of inside ibrox was looking and thinking how fantastic our main stand is, and my dutch father(an avid PSV fan) said he had never seen anythin like it...tht would b a welcome change, along with moving the blue order to behind the goals, so tht evry1 can join in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE5 107 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I thought the cameras still looked onto the Govan. Just thinking that since we have the best stand in world football we might as well show it off.I think that's a great idea, it would also take away the awful sight of the away corner just about. I think you should officially ask the club, let us know how you get on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron1873 509 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was thinking this as well the other day funnily enough.I think the Bill Struth main stand would look stunning shown live on tv. Its funny for most fans outside of Scotland have never really seen what a main stand we have. Its a shame Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and True 311 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 cameras directly above me in the Govan perhaps they are on both sides Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Have always thought the main stand should be on the tvWould look much better IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 There are camera hides in all 4 stands. The gantry allows cameramen and journalists to move into the tunnel and press room for interviews. When I was at the Newscastlle game I was right next to the directors box and all the journos and cameramen were constantly turning towards Green and co. Also spotted Bomber Brown and Archie Knox amongst the VIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Custer 516 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I would love it too but where would the live tv camera go in the govan stand?I suppose you'd need an engineer to design some sort of cantilever steel structure and anchor it in the existing concrete one but then I'm no engineer.

G.E.C. 18,633 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I watched a reserve game on RangersTV years ago and the camera was facing the Main Stand, think they do the same at the Piggery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think there's lots of cameras at matches these days, but the majority of the match is viewed from the Gantry.It's certainly worth investigating as it's a wonderful sight to behold.A strange sense of pride fills me up when looking at it.Well, some folks are easily pleased lol.

bearinthewoods 0 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Won't be done I'm afraid. My brother does freelance work for the TV companies and they say they want the main cameras pointing north or east if possible because of the sun. Obviously not possible in some smaller grounds but there's no way they'd move established north-facing facilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superkai 54 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I could be way off the mark here. I think the cameras are in the main stand because of(don't laugh) the sunshine. Too much glare if they were positioned in the Govan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
