BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I see today that the filthy mudbloods are installing rail seating at Savile Row in time for next season. Does anybody know if the board have ever considered this at Ibrox,and if not why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRW. 5,631 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Definitely something that has to be introduced soon. Will no doubt wait until seeing the massive success the clubs implementing in now have before even considering it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Any idea current capacity of the wee enclosure and what it could be if we had safe standing? Or where else would be good for safe standing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know if the board have ever considered this at Ibrox,and if not why? It would be great if we had that installed as well. Unfortunately my knees are getting a bit arthritic and standing from a sitting position is very painful. Standing all through the match has it's down side also, so being able to take the weight off your legs would be ideal. I've heard all this being mooted before and I just wish we could have it. Although it would probably be a small area to begin with in some sort of experimental aspect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe standing wouldnt change the capacity mate as you have too fit the rail seats that lock up in place of the old seats Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 They are doing it to stop getting fined for their supporters refusing to follow safety legislation and sit down. Note it's in the area of their worst element of support. Would not be surprised if they received funding to pay for this seating due to their trialling of it for us.

Why clubs should consider installing rail seats… No. 3 3. It can increase gate receipts. Dependent upon the wording of the relevant new regulations, space currently used for seating could be converted into space for substantially more standing spectators. Current regulations (in what is known as the Green Guide) permit the space required for 40 seated fans in the lower leagues to be used by up to 72 standing fans, i.e. a ratio of 1 to 1.8. Given such a configuration (80% increase in capacity) and a sell-out crowd, any price for a standing place at more than 55.5% of the previous price for a seat would generate higher gate receipts. For example (assuming 10% of a 40,000 all-seater stadium is converted to standing): 4,000 x seated fans at (say) £30 per ticket = £120,000 7,200 x standing fans at (say) £20 per ticket = £144,000 Potential extra revenue per game = £24,000 Potential extra revenue over a notional 20-game season = £480,000 Some German grounds work on a ratio of 2 standing fans per seating space, thus increasing revenue still further. http://www.safestandingroadshow.co.uk/the-case-for-safe-standing/case-for-3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have they ever been threatened with a fine for fans standing at the piggery, or given one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,148 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Would anyone donate to a crowd fund for this ? I would certainly donate even if I wasn't getting an option of using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the conditions of allowing the safe standing trial here was that the standing capacity shouldn't exceed the seating capacity. I think the filth are actually going to lose a bit of capacity due to the modifications they've had to make to exit stairs or some shit like that.

PRW. 5,631 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The Safe Standing Roadshow did visit Rangers back in February 2012 (along with the taigs, hearts, hibs, sheep and dunfermline). Although obviously we got a bit caught up in other stuff around that time to give it a serious thought... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously bringing the old dear back up to standard and stability on the park is more important but this should be seen as a priority after that. Would love to see the Enclosure and Copland Front as standing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I knew GCC knocked back the tarriers twice before finally accepting their proposal. So that must of been what they changed about it.
