Guvnor 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Would anyone else like to see a part of the stadium that's dedicated to fans who want to stand and sing(for the full 90 minutes)? I know that people may not want to stand and sing for the full game, but couldn't we get all the fans who do want to stand and sing for the full game and get them together, creating a better atmosphere at Ibrox. I am aware that "The Blue Order" do this already, but I'm sure there are many more Rangers fans who want to participate in the singing; and if we could group these fans together on matchdays it would help improve the atmosphere because as it stands the only really good atmosphere's Ibrox generates is against the tims and on European nights.

mccoist355 4 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 The mere action of sitting down is like turning down the atmosphere a few notches - there is no way you can generate as much noise sat on your ass. Definitely should be standing sections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamteuchter 1 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I would absolutely love it. They do it in Germany with safe standing areas and the atmosphere at Bundesliga games is fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guvnor 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 I try to join in with the singing at every oppurtunity, and unlike some fans, even when we're getting beat. But my section doesn't really sing as much as I want to, and you can sense people becoming irratated because your standing and singing every 2 minutes. So wouldn't this benefit the people who get annoyed by others singing in front of them. Wouldn't it benefit the people who want to stand and sing. Wouldn't it benefit the team, with the fans getting behind them and generating a big atmosphere. This idea is nothing but good, so why is it unlikely it will ever happen ?

Ive said this for a while now mate and think it would be a great idea! However would never happen due to this health and safety pish!! I think your correct in saying that this may never happen due to health and safety reasons. But how is it in places like Germany fans have standing sections, and there is no fuss made about that ? Are we as fans becoming to easy to be told what we can and cannot do ? I personally feel that if there is a big enough demand for a standing section, then there should be no other option but to grant the fans their wish. Yet people seem to think that we have no control over how OUR team's stadium is run. Shouldn't we the fans - who pay the money to sit in the stand - have the biggest say on how we would like our matchday experience to be ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overanout 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 This will never happen sadly..far too many have the mentality of "ive sat in this seat for years and im nae moving" which means we couldnt get a standing section as we would need to clear an entire section..if anywhere it should be the copland btw.
