I'm only guessing btw, i have no inside knowledge whatsoever. They are horrendous when you see them up close, hopefully we get them removed in due course. Yes some of them get mixed up with fans and supporters at times. Looking from the fan zone area last Sat I would agree they are hellish. They will have to go.

Massive visual changes such as this need to be communicated to the fans. The reason they never is because that would be showing our opinions too much respect. Something fishy is going on with this SLO and the club, i am suspicious of the shelving of copper dog also. This highlights further just how much maintenance is needed. The money pena cost could have refurbished the full staircase area and the full stadium pressure washed and painted! The unit better prove his supposed worth. This SLO is a Joseph Goebbels. A propagandist who does nothing for the fans and everything for his masters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you wouldn't want a militant SLO now would you, that would mean having to answer to the important questions the fans want answers too.

The glass panels on the stairwell were an architectural feature that fitted the timeframe when the Main Stand was built. Sacrilege to be covering it up. I'll be picky and say that they were an architectural feature that were meant to fit in with the period of when the Main Stand was built. I still don't think they got it right. But the banners are hideous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighouse 1,012 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I sincerely wonder if it's being done as a way of easing us in to the idea of a banner of some sort being there before the space is sold off as advertising. Would be sickening to see a massive spots direct banner there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 This is just one of a million things that pisses me off about us. Get the banners to fuck. Those stairwells are unique to Ibrox; they look magnificent both from outside and inside the stadium. They can't even get the fucking design right, regardless of whether they should be there or not; the legends banners on Edmiston House, above the megastore and across the top of the stands are red, blue and white while these monstrosities on the stairwell look like the old Rangers tartan. Fucking amateur. Do we employ retards? Fuckwits who aren't skilled enough to run a business or football club? How can any sensible professional look at those stairwells and decide to cover them. Special needs cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Said when they went up that they were a permanent addition. Look no further than the supposed commercial director/consultant that we have. Useless doesn't come close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure_Quality 3,295 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The company that designed, and I think manufactured, the banners were told they need to be able to stay up until the end of next close season. Don't know if that means they are going to be replaced or not needed at that time though. Believe this came from the Head of Commercial, who had an influence on those pretty honking banners inside the staircases at Hampden too, so not massively encouraging he's done the same thing at Ibrox. If it was him his record at Southampton and the SPL was more than decent, but this is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There absolutely fucking disgusting and should not be anywhere near ibrox. Whoever thought these things were a good idea needs their head examined. Sans anesthetic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth_Campsie_Ger 17,995 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Would rather all this was sorted before safe standing is considered tbh!

Pure_Quality 3,295 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Don't mind the stuff above the megastore at all but the nicotine looking coloured ends of the Broomloan and Copland from the inside would be far better for a vinyl wrap rather than the staircases, such an iconic part of the stadium. Daft spend of money IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
