WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If it works for them next year, do you think Rangers will consider it? Where would it work for Rangers? BF1/BF2 or under the TV? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCRobertson 11,771 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 BF1/2 would be good but wouldn't they be getting took up by the tims come an old firm? CF4/5 could be a decent shout though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,455 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Save money for future stadium revamp/rebuild. I really don't think we've got the money to be throwing around on something which is basically a luxury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned it in relation to mitigating the reduction of capacity when Rangers start to comply with the forthcoming UEFA requirements in regards to wheelchair facilities and was told it simply wasn't going to happen. Strange it was subsequently used as one of the main selling points of Club1872 eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 We should see what kind of demand there is for it then try to get the whole bottom of the Copland turned to standing. Fuck doing it in Broomloan front, the tims get that stand and fuck giving them the standing section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum_rfc 85 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Behind the goals in the Copland would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StublueKPL 524 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Been saying for years we should do this. My season is still in the east enclosure which was the last standing part in ibrox. It killed the atmosphere in the enclosures. Would love standing back at ibrox Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three stripes 411 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Last place it should be is BF1,that's where away fans should be put. Idealy the Copland front should be safe standing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to happen but I much preferred the old grounds where the only place you didn't stand was the stand!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be better in the Copland or even better maybe the whole front of the main stand, being in a standing section under the stand would be bouncing.

Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 At the end of the day standing up is dangerous in itself let alone at a football match, I mean im 5'10", I could die if I hit my heid from that height! Thats before I mention all these psychos walking about at 6 foot plus not even giving a fuck about the danger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Safe standing areas can become seating again but for say Celtic game or Europe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Educator 1,572 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 There are better things to spend cash on than ripping out seats and putting in ones that allow a standing area at some games, don't forget a standing area will not increase the capacity in the area of the stadium where they would be installed. As a club we have to strengthen the squad and of the field thare are still plenty of thing to be sorted out that may require cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe standing does increase capacity, specifics were posted recently with details including a nice wee diagram. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

five stars 1,635 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 East Enclosure first then the West if there's enough demand for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outline of this that I saw was that the same number of folding seats would replace the fixed seating, and the number of tickets sold would represent the number of seats installed. Therefore no increase in capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that lot waste their money being the guinea pigs, only when it becomes financially advantageous should we consider it. If it were to happen though I'd love the whole Copland, like the Westfalenstadion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 There are loads of examples on line, here is just one Stadium A Current capacity: 35,000 Two-tier stand behind each goal Lower tier of the ‘home end’ (3,500 seats) converted to safe standing A section of the ‘away end’ (1,750) converted to safe standing Total seat spaces converted: 5,250 (15% of capacity) Total standing spaces created: 9,450 (5,250 x 1.8) Revised total capacity: 39,200 (+4,200, i.e. +12%) Example seat price: £25 Example standing price: £18 Total gate receipt potential before: £875,000 per match / £17.5m per 20 games Total gate receipt potential after: £913,850 per match / £18.25m per 20 games Potential gate receipt increase per 20-game season: £750,000 Potential total extra revenue (incl. spend on drinks etc.): £1.4m Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
