GOAT 30,449 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I done the tour yesterday for the first time in my nearly 28 years on this planet, can I just say you don't really appreciate how amazing the place is when you get the chance to take it all in rather than sitting there biting your nails for a goal.Also, you don't actually realise how massive the place is (at least from my seat in the top of the copland rear) until you walk down that tunnel and take it all it.Took the wee man aswell, got at least 200+ photos, it was a brilliant day, also done the Tennents brewery tour after it and went and got pished but that's a different story.A truly special place is Ibrox.

jackunion 536 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Did it the day we played alloa for the wee mans birthday.Found the recent addition of Walters mums letter in the trophy room a great story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Done the tour last season with the wee man,it was just before the EGM or thereabouts and i could sense there was an air of tension in the place.That aside,the host was brilliant and explained everything to the visiting party and the wee man was in total awe at the history we seen.It really is a tremendous place we have.He done the Man City tour with his mum a few months later and was telling the tour guide how poor their trophy cabinet looked compared to ours haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I also signed Sandy Jardines book of condolence. BTW, see if you have a spare four grand every year, get a ticket for the members lounge. Amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm thinking it must have been more than a year then as Sandy was still fighting illness when we went.Also the letter from Mark Walters' mum wasn't there either,might need to book another tour for over the Christmas holidays.

That's one for a new thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I did it when I was a kid, mustve been over 15 years ago, loved it, my favourite part was the trophy room and all the stories the guide told us, for some reason I dont really remember being down at the pitch, maybe we didnt do it that day.Would love to do it again, do they only do it during the season or can you do it during the summer too? Much does it cost these days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 The tour is well worth the money..Got took round Auchenhowie as well a couple of weeks ago. absolutely cracking complexWhen I was an apprentice Glazer a few years ago we got to work in Murray Park fixing the big glass panels inside where the big Rangers badge is on the window because someone hit the ball that high and hard and cracked the panel that was there. Great place, but would like to have had a better look about the place, but most of it was closed of because it was the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she came across a letter from a representative of rangers stating something along the lines that " in reply to your letter unfortunately under no circumstances can we let Walter into ibrox with a broken leg to watch rangers at pitch side " The letter itself was in the left corner of trophy room as you walked in the door.
