hughesy1872 2 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Has this been done in another thread or is there another reason for the wanky reply? Defo something we should look into as the atmosphere at Ibrox was phenominal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Would love to see some standing areas brought in. I would start with what was the old enclosure area in front of the main stand Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The enclosure's would be the ideal place to start it off and personally I'd be all for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Would you no prefer a seat mate.you can still sit with the safe standing. Obviously you would want to be at the front of a stand/tier though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund have 70 odd thousand during league games, it drops to 50odd thousand when the need to use the seats - Champions league games fir example.

Amato 3,016 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The safe standing they're bringing in at the Girodome doesn't increase the capacity Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,278 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 All for it. A few times last season instantly as soon as the whistle went I got told to sit down by 2 grown men with no obvious standing difficulties. I get it if its a kid or an elderly person behind me but I think safe standing is a must for atmosphere more than anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously it's going to get to the point where someone elderly/small can't see.Agree it would make sense to bring in a standing area, it'll come down to cost though and for that reason I don't see it happening any time soon. Will be way down our list of priorities Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only had to move along a couple of seats, I think his whole row was empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wee General 91 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 See where your coming from. I'm an oldie who can remember 80,000 plus crowds at the stadium.Positives were the fuckin noise we created, the togetherness and no stewards or police could get to you to tell you to behave or stop singing a certain song! Carry outs were the norm and the wine, whisky and beer flowed.Negatives were the punters pissing on you and random punch ups between fellow Bears. Also, leaving the stadium was a nightmare. As a wee boy i always exited down stairway 13 with my Da. You always got your arms above your head and many times my feet never touched the ground from top to bottom. Seen guys with jackets ripped off and bollocks crushed on the railings. The disaster put paid to that and seating was deemed the way forward.However, I agree the enclosure at Ibrox is made for standing and would be appropriate with adequate controls. I think it will come and can't see any problems with it. But the 80,000 crowds are gone I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
