CF5LOYAL 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Theres a load of posters from abroad and lots of different parts of Scotland, but have any of you never had the chance to visit Ibrox either on matchday or just a tour? I can remember the first time I went and I couldn't beleive the size, especially the Main stand when you got to your seat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter 5,627 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 mccoist355! I was the same first time I went, absolutely overawed by the place. The first glimpse of the pitch was the moment for me, just sheer excitement, anticipation and awe. Still is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I love going in, when it seems like there's just me in the Stadium - ie: when the turnstiles just open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnclosureBear 2,926 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I will always remember my first time going to Ibrox, 1999 we played Dundee Utd, beat them 4-1 according to the old man. Just remember looking at my surrounding rather than the game of football, I still love it to this day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayWestFree 107 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 The first time I went I was only a wee lad. And I always mind everyone standing. So my dad put me on his shoulders for a bit and I was head and shoulders above everyone and it was jam packed. It was an amazing feeling. It was Super Ally's testimonial against Newcastle.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 The feeling walking in is immense, there is just this atmosphere about the place, even when I walk past and it's closed I walk up to the gates just to have a peak and always so tempted to walk into the main entrance and wonder what the bloke on the front desk would say.

MrSifter 181 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Can't actually remember the first time I went, it was pretty much a way of life for my family. I have a lot of fond memories of watching the players train at the Albion and getting autographs and pictures. My old man always took us when he was off.

Chef 436 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 my first game was when i was 8 or summit, visiting my mates gran with him and his family and his grandad took us, he stayed right next to it in the flats and i was totally gobsmacked, even as a kid you get excited about most things but this was just out of this world, as prior to that i was free entry to old muirton park in perth by jumping over a garden and there are massive differences between both parks, i though muirton park was like all stadiums but was i wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I dont remember the first time I was there since it was about 17 years ago but I remember the stairs used to scare the shit out of me, I always thought they were so high and that they were going to collapse, I remember when we scored i'd start crying because it was so loud. One of my earliest memories of Ibrox is an Old Firm game that was at night time when Tommy Burns was the ta1gs manager, everyone was singing "McCstay Missed a Penalty!"

minstral 5,375 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wonderful place in the 60s, the hairs in the back of your neck would stand up with the atmosphere, and the Celtic games were electric. But sad to say that they days are gone which is a shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember looking at my surrounding rather than the game of football, I still love it to this day. That's what I did the first time I went when I was younger. I don't think I watched much of the game, I just looked about and took in the view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
