rabc10000 5,061 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 not seen this posted yet so thought i would take the opportunity https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2913662/ibrox-planning-permission-refurb-repairs-Rangers-council/ Rangers have been handed a boost after plans for the second stage of the Ibrox refurbishment were approved. The recladding of external roofs on Gers‘ stadium’s Broomloan and Copland Road stands was given the go-ahead by Glasgow City Council chiefs on Friday. KEITH CAMPBELL - THE SUN GLASGOW 2 Rangers chairman Dave King vowed to make Ibrox a stadium fans can be proud of PA:PRESS ASSOCIATION 2 The planning application was submitted last December The application was submitted on December 15 last year. That came just two weeks after chairman Dave King admitted the club had spent a lot of money carrying out Ibrox repairs. Speaking at the Gers AGM, King said: “A lot of the work we’ve done over the last couple of years has probably not rightly been termed ‘improvements’. “I think what we’ve done is refurbishing and repairing a stadium that had become dilapidated to get it back to being fit for purpose and something Rangers supporters should be proud of.

The stands behind the goals are next along with the GRP sheeting on the sides. Undersides of all three stands will be done bit by bit in small stages Pity Fat Mike didnt feel like doing anything but let's keep ripping into King meantime ?

Forget a new stadium. Ibrox is irreplaceable and iconic. A few refurbs here and there it will be restored. The inside, particularly the main stand, needs a lick of paint over the hand railings, steps etc. Cedrick, Travelrug, Teddybear123 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sat in CD4 for the Bury game and you can see the difference with the new cladding. Still the front section to do and reinstall the lettering. Will be good to see the other two stands done. Would love to see the yellow screens replaced with blue ones but I doubt that'll happen probably just clear ones. Inigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend top dollar refurbishing the concourses and toilets, stadium surrounds and Edmiston House. The Copland and Broomloan are easy modernised by putting glass or screen cladding over the backs of them and recladding Argyle House. Last thing I want is Ibrox looking like a Meccano set like so many other stadiums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billym27 315 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 We could do with a larger capacity stadium. If we're cutting away allocation to a wee corner then we could go up to 60-65,000. Money's no there right now though and honestly I don't want them to change the stadium too much. Keep the same appearance but add an extra tier around broomloan/jardine/copland so that all 4 stands have 3 tiers. I'm no an architect so no got a scooby if it's possible or how much would be needed. Let's just focus on restoring the stadium. lerxst and Paisley Blue Loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder why the club didn't utilise the offer of supporters willing to help (can't recall the ins and outs of it). Jobs like the touching up railings and steps with some paint aren't exact skill reliant. I would think, however, one of the more costly jobs will be refurbing the exterior of the main stand. Noticed it on Friday, its in bad nick and something needs done about it. Johnny Dangerously 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest thing that would help the main stand would be to pedestrianise Edmiston Drive. eejay the dj and big blue Fin 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will only need a clean anyway, but it looks neglected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
