As I have said we have 1 in Govan rear and none in the Copland and broomland stands. To me that's a priority, yes safe standing is a good idea but how much will it cost? I want the stadium repaired etc and every penny spare spent on improving that squad. I think our hard paying disabled fans deserve toliets in these stands first, but it's only an opinion They'll get them as ALL stands must have disabled viewing areas by 2019.

Where is this money coming from as £450 per season ticket only gives so far. Another share issue ? I spent £5k in the last one and have 2 books and I can't take my autistic son to the toilet once the game starts , was told Govan rear up at the broomland end. You do know the stadium and the Copland rd is a memorial to those who passed away, Rangers decided back then to have an all seated stadium long before the Taylor report . If we did go along that route then both enclosures like back in the 80's and maybe the corners and move the away fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm all for safe standing and credit to the UB's for pushing it but I just hope that if we do get it it's not an exclusive Union Bear thing like it's their section only I'd like to watch the game from the standing section but no desire to be an ultra or anything so would be good if it's open to all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you said it will raise revenue as that's the only way I can see it raising revenue How about the Club sell flags, scarves, hats, etc for the SS Area? How about the Club charge you an extra £10 to be in the SS Area? How about the next generation it attracts, and the one after that, and so on? There's just 3 examples.

How is it? These things cost money and that's something we do not have in abundance right now, if we could magically win the league and get into at least the Europa league then I would say do both enclosures , but as it is we are skint so skint we do not have disabled toliets in most parts of the ground. That is a fact and to put this and other thing right in the ground is gonna cost money we do not have at the moment Personally if we ever did go along this route I would want to fill in the corners properly also and put safe standing in corners , full Copland, both enclosures , full broomland stands and keep the Govan, main and club deck as they are. The club would need to put this out to season ticket holders to see how many seats we would require, 12,500 if we done the corner and the new rear bit with the full Copland and east enclosure, they could also set up a site for fans to swap seats as I would move and I am behind the goal just over 3/4 of the way up, so I have good seats and would not want shitty seats in th Govan front row or something But this cost money and sadly we have not got any. But if we were ever gonna do it then do it right Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
