What time did you do the tour at m8t ? I also did it for the first time yesterday , I was the 10.30 one , it was brilliant Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no problem if you are disabled or handicapped in any way because the staff ensure that your tour is done in a safe and enjoyable manner; for example, if you are in a wheelchair you are taken in a lift up to the top of the marble staircase etc. The only problem I can see is that the Trophy room is now becoming too small for the amount of Trophies and mementos that are already there and undoubtedly will increase over the years,because when things get cluttered to the point where you can't see things clearly it detracts from the experience, so perhaps that is something for any future board to consider. I hope that for any Bear intending to go on the tour the SPFL Trophy will be sitting proudly on display sooner rather than later as it is a lovely piece of silverware that has been missing since I last was there at the beginning of November 2011. I'll tell you a funny (but ironic) wee joke???? the tour guide made on that occasion; Craig Whyte had just conned his way into taking control of our club in May 2011 and by November we were so far in front of the others in the SPL that everything looked rosy to most of our fans, but others,including John Greig, thought differently. In the Trophy room there is the impressive collection of medals won by the great Richard Gough who won 9 league titles, 3 Scottish Cups and 6 League Cups plus other medals awarded to him when playing for Rangers and Scotland. but there is one medal missing from that collection (it was loaned out for some event) and it stood out like a sore thumb with the imprint clearly visible on the blue cloth inside the case. One of our fans who was handicapped and in a wheelchair wanted to know why it was gone? and the tour guide said with a serious look on his face.....Craig Whyte has probably came into the Trophy room and removed the medal then sold it on the black market.....It wouldn't surprise me if the lot got pawned before too long. It would be interesting to see if that medal has been returned to its rightful place. There was a medal still missing from Goughs collection yesterday, tour guide said it was actually a medal he had won when he was at Spurs and they had loaned it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Done the tour 5 times now and love it. There is just something special when you walk through the door to do the tour, and when you see the look on the face of your grandchildren as they do the tour makes it so special.

The only other medal he received outwith playing for Rangers was a League Winners medal with Dundee United when they won the title in 1982-83, so it would be interesting to see if that particular medal was in the display case at Ibrox. I know for a fact the Tour Guide on that particular day didn't say exactly what medal was missing or where it was loaned out to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,287 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Going on Saturday and can't wait!! Just a pity there's no game on that day too. Got it as a present, so not sure about what happens. Being a thicko, I take it you just turn up at the door at the given time? Also, is there a dress code?

BallochBear 1,613 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Did it a few years back with my son and MIL. Almost had to drag me physically away from pitchside, I could've stayed there forever. A genuine emotional lump in throat experience. I'd urge all bears to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
