A standing section would have massive demand, thousands would be interested. Honestly cannot wrap my head round anyone not in favour of safe standing, mind boggling that they must be content with the current Ibrox "atmosphere". I honestly don't see the value in it. The atmosphere would still be shite in the smaller games. I'm not sure why you can't wrap your head around someone having a different opinion to yours. It's hardly mind boggling is it?

They are obviously the driving force in that section but they don't have that many actual members. Whether it be 2k at Pittodrie or 9k at Kilmarnock our entire away support stands so I think it's very naive to say we couldn't fill the Enclosure. You said joining the "singing section" so I assumed you meant the UB. You're not going to recreate the atmosphere of an away game by having a standing section in my opinion. Unless you are going to charge a premium to be in that section then I would agree that the club would be wiser spending the money elsewhere in something that can generate extra revenue.

Well you assumed wrong. Fair enough, find it baffling that someone thinks a proper section that could potentially hold a few thousand wouldn't create more atmosphere than a tiny wee corner.

graeme_4 34,350 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'd definately back it. Would be great if the UBs could share the details of their proposals. I think most won't have a clue about the potential costs and timescales - is it £10K or £10m we're taking here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 How long has CFC had their standing area because that's the pilot program & until that's finished with reports from all stakeholders (police, SFA etc.) no other club is getting thier own Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Fuck me in 90's the enclosures were the singing sections that bounced no matter if East or West. Just get a standing section but many old boys will change the songs and not be laalalalalalala for 90mins maybe that is the fear of our strong as fuck board.

A lot of baffled and mind boggled people out tonight. Is the atmosphere significantly better since the introduction of the UB's? Not particularly in my opinion. The atmosphere is great on the big occasions and not so great on the lesser occasions. Always has been and always will be and no amount of people standing will change that. I appreciate that my opinion may be a bit of mindfuck for you so I apologise for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB taking the corner would generate a cracking atmosphere, nae cunt has to spit the dummy about "Muh seat" and the group guys don't need to move for taigs. There has to be a way of getting the away fans totally out the way I know it ain't a priority at the moment but has pissed me off for many a year.

Somebody like myself who can't stand for 90 minutes might be able tae help ye wrap yer head around it. ? I don't actually think there would be thousands shouting for it.

You cant see how the current section which I think holds 500ish can't generate as much noise as say the whole Copland front would? Fair enough, it is a total mindfuck.

I'd ask the SLO to get a questionairre organised for ST holders that would be affected/were interested in joining/were not interested in joining BUT would be in favour of it. Also to get the away fans moved incorporated into the overall plan. Eg. I'm not interested in joining BUT I'm in favour of it AND I don't lose my current seat.

Spinal surgery means 90 minutes of the bouncy isn't advised but at the same time if I was told I'm being moved and not given the option to go then I'd be raging. It's also discriminatory to disabled people in wheelchairs who cannot stand. Behave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted August 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2017 Folk saying it wouldn't add to the atmosphere are in complete denial Celtic games and big cup games have best atmospheres and most people are standing, same with away games Regardless of it's affect on atmosphere there is a demand for it, I like to stand at games even if it's not crowded regardless of the atmosphere graeme_4, The Specky Forum Organiser, Band of Brothers and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. UEFA Rules state EVERY STAND must have wheelchair access by 2019. Rangers have a serious problem here as it will cost millions in my opinion to have lifts put in to be able to provide this.
