Parky89 12 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Ibrox is Rangers and thats it. Should knock Hampden down and build a new national stadium where theres room. I always thought off the m8 where theres nothing there. Easy access from edinburgh and glasgow. Could build a 60/70 thousand capaciy ground and a massive carpark.

As long as it doesn't end up in the East End. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Regan was in the papers a few days back saying we may change venue.

My question is how would you feel about Ibrox becoming the new National Stadium. A long term agreement being reached, and with the money from the rent being used towards redevelopment of the Broomloan/Copland and Govan stands to make Ibrox a 60,000+ world class stadium?

It's the scumdone being modernised every which way, so if anywhere, it would be there. I'll be expecting the SFA to be setting up new offices there in future. And anyway, how the fuck did you arrive at that idea, knowing the SFA scum fc connections? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 As someone who stays 10 minutes up the road from Murrayfield, get that idea to fuck aswell. It's bad enough having the hipsters going to watch the egg chasers invading the place every few months.

graeme_4 33,992 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hampden is an absolute shitheap. Dreadful stadium with zero atmosphere. Cant wait until it's no longer in use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickshaw77 287 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 If the SFA do give up on Hampden then only one place all that rent money will be heading to and it won't be Ibrox. Interesting that septic are talking about building a new main stand then this comes along. Any bears who are apathetic towards the SFA giving up on Hampden should note that potentially all cup semi/finals would probably be played at Porkhead in future giving them home advantage every time with also more tickets when the stadium segregation is planned out. We've already seen the peados benefit financially from the Emirates arena being built on their doorstep this sounds like yet another Liewell plot.

Tom0411 1,226 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Earlier this year when I did the tour of Ibrox after the Founders Tour the guide mentioned that currently Ibrox & Hampdump are the only 5star or whatever they call it stadiums in Scotland. He then said that celtc were putting in place moves to make the stydome 5star too. As soon as that happens we can forget about hampdump internationals & big European finals being played anywhere else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
