lerxst 99 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 This is post only for the positive thinkers so no "we canny fill it the noo" . With season tickets looking good an increase should be in our thoughts , with all these other clubs expanding Ibrox is getting ever more left behind .granted they are premiership clubs with mega money , the stadium has not looked better but it's getting on for forty years old . the corners where the screens are cant be done as Murray shit it and played the easy game filling in with screens instead of using metal trussing similar to the bill struth stand to span between . So main point how would it be done [btw I would move them to last sections of club deck ,mainstand and enclosure, lets get the Broomie back and keep those scum out of sight as they do for us.

Smile 26,592 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The stadiums big enough just needs tidied up a bit. Its not worth having a big soulless tescos like the Park de paedo that they cannot fill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What's the point? We've no need for a bigger stadium in all honesty. 50k is plenty. I doubt you could put them in the club deck due to the segregation needed both in and out of the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 To be honest, given the perpetual decline of Scottish football, I think downsizing is more likely over the decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgers 565 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Cheapest option would be to remove the big screens fill in the spaces, might add about another 1k, reduce away support allocation there is another 1k. The American stadiums have big video and advertising screens that hang on steel cables in the middle of the pitch at the half way line, that can be risen and dropped or sit at the optimum position during the match. Maybe cost about £1mil, Could be one to part sponsor through the Club1872 Special Projects? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the original plan, to have it that way without the screens. The screens were a later amendment to the plan. Too big, no need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that there's a single open air stadium with that. There certainly isn't a single "soccer" stadium with it that I know of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the sponsorship comes in, say bet32 could sponsor the floating advertising screen. The club could remove the big screen at the Govan/Broomloan corner to start with, also it could be allocated along with the lower corner to the mhanky mob, when they arrive.

tannerall 25,935 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Could sell season tickets with a 50% discount that allow midgets to sit in the laps of those with season tickets already.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It would cost 10s of millions, and woukd take decades to recoup that money as it would only be full for a few games a season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we get a big money deal with sky Scottish football will be very poor standard well it is already but much worse, we see that already even over the last ten to twenty years.
