willygers4life 1,031 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What like is the Ibrox tour, as the missus is going along and not really in the plans for her whining about it and will it keep an autistic 4 year old happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take the missus unless she is a football/Rangers fan and fortunately mine had no interest in going along. The 2nd time I went I was with my 7 year old and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

RFC55 107,778 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's unreal mate. Breathtaking in places tbh I'd imagine your wee yin will love the trophy room. Loads of colour around with the pendants etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 been on the tour about 4 times over the years but the last one I was on with my father not long before he passed away. and it was a lovely day the tour is absolutely fantastic well worth the entrance fee to see behind the scenes at ibrox as a gers fan will be something both your wife and young boy will never forget the place is just steeped in history and you will feel it as soon as you come through the doors, climb the marble staircase, go in the home dressing room, trophy room ect. I hope you all have a lovely day and be sure to let us all know what your thoughts are once you have been on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewislaudrup 844 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've been on the tour 4/5 times, does anybody get this strange feeling in them when the enter the main doors and see the marble staircase, dont know how to describe it but i never get that feeling anywhere else. You will love the tour mate great feeling walking down the tunnel with your bear cub beside you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtanian 252 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Done it once and loved it every second of it giving you a small taste of what it would be like if you could play for our great club, for me the old guy that done the tour made it for me with his knowledge about the club and some funny stories and traits he told us about former players and present as he's seen it first hand.

Every kid is different but for what it's worth my wee boy is autistic too and he was only 4 the first time I took him, he absolutely loved it.

Pearson83 1,059 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I went few years ago and loved it tiny took us round and she told great story's about her time at club. Walking up that tunnel was the most amazing experience the trophy room is unreal so much history it's a must for every single Rangers fan my son is nearly 2 can't wait to take him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietspam 733 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My son is on the spectrum aswell. You'll know that no two are the same so it's really down to you mate. Mine likes to delve into great detail about Rangers and the teams they are facing and will sit and read through the programmes time and time again. We thought he would love the tour but he was very quiet on the day. That is due to his social difficulties though and we weren't aware of it as much at the time. Did manage to get the tour guide to let him sit in the managers chair and he set it up with the phone to my sons ear and i think it's a smaller replica of the cup winners cup in his hand. Fantastic photo and a great gesture from the guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willygers4life 1,031 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks for everything guys. Looking forward to it even more now, daughter watches the football with me but doesn't really take much notice really but does get excited when we score Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I was actually clearing a lot of shit off my phone earlier because the storage was full and looked over all the pictures of when me and my boy went (he's 11) but was about 8 or 9 when we went. He absolutely loved it and is desperate to go again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Incredible experience the history of our club just seeps through the place.nothing beats walking up the marble staircase then into the trophy room could spend a full day in there no problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Can mind many years ago when my father who followed our club all his life went on the tour. My father was dying with cancer, and we contacted John Greig, and he invited my father along for tour of the whole stadium. Had never seen my father cry in his life, but the tears were streaming down his face, and sad to say, that was the last time he ever entered the place and the team he loved.
