Guest The Brown Brogue Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 What is the point of this meaningless thread....to give Murray a few thousand more season ticket holdersDo you guyz have no credibility at allI actually have to agree with you here to an extent Fish.Do people really expect Murray to spend say 20 million on the stadium and the same kind of money on the playing squad when he is actively trying to flog us?And even if expansion was to occur, would people be happy if this was to the detriment of our transfer budget?I couldn't care less if Ibrox is smaller than Septic Park, at least our stadium isn't an utter shithole like theirs is, and Ibrox will still be standing in 20 years time.What matters is on the park, we need to get this sorted out before we even consider any redevelopment of Ibrox.

docspiderman 1,228 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Unless there is a massive improvement in signings and performance we will have even more empty seats rather than a need for more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy 0 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 As someones already sayed why do we want more fans in the stadium when its dead already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,786 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think it'a bout quality rather than quantity and Ibrox is a fantastic stadium. At the moment it's fine, but perhaps in a few years when we are playing better we can add some more seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue1872 2 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think we can still lower the pitch. Was Bain not on about that last summer when we added Bar 72. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Just checked the main stand is listed, designed by Archibald LeitchLeitch was the main man for footie stands.Ibrox is one of the few left, there was Roker Park, The old 'shelf' at White Hart lane and Everton (it might still be there). Can't think off hand of any others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 761 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think the problem lies within the ground Ibrox is built on. Something to do with the soil and how close it is to the River Clyde makes any expansion a big doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers & Arsenal 1 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The only place we could put seats are where the big screens are, and I can't see that happening, TBH.Would love it, all the same.agreed i'd love it to be like 70,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_ni 12 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Cant see us adding any more seats for a while untill we are a bit more financially stable. The 2 corners where the screens are, are the obviuos place for more seats. In theory it would be possible to lower the pitch a few feet and get more seats in that way. Just looking at the ground, i know we couldnt completely fill in the corners at the main stand but surely it would be possible to get some seats in there. Even if we only got 500 seats at each corner thats a potential extra 20000 from each match that could pay the wages of another player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper1989 0 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Not at all sure about this, but I though Leitch did work on Highbury as well? Isn't the foyer at Highbury modelled after Ibrox? Marble straircase.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
