Wasn’t actually what i meant but I was going to ask that next. My first thought when it said memorial garden was well an actual Garden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great idea, never actually Knew we owned that eyesore area. We will need a 24/7 security watch mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,532 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm sitting with the application in front of me as an open tab, but for some reason on the council portal you can't open the tabs any more. https://publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=P1BDL4EXI4D00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ace 3,556 Posted January 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2018 With regards to the location, it's fairly close to the foot of Stairway 13, if a memorial should be places anywhere .. it's there.

Yeah. The gates look quality. I like the bronze bit and the crest as well. Should look good, and will be easily and pretty cheaply maintainable with the materials they've used (which are quite good quality by the looks of things).

That area generates the greatest footfall towards Ibrox on matchdays and is the logical choice. I'd imagine that whilst the bheasts got their state funded walkway at the front of their stadium this club / support funded option can't be at the main stand due to the roadway. Still so many positives about this project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important only the best of stuff goes into it because our climate is such that a few years down the line cheaper things can begin to look their age Inigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I had thought of having something in that exact area before but having it properly landscaped with seasonal flowers, benches etc. The memorial should be the barrier with the single scarf wrapped round it. I would also landscape as much as possible on either side of the path. Cold concrete walls isnt fitting. If anyone has suggested phone chargers they should be shot.

Inigo 32,532 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Dunno why a wall wouldn't be appropriate either. You get memorial walls everywhere. Where else do you put images, names and other such things if not a wall? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
