loch71 10 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 How much ?Does it really matter how much? As long as it is bringing in cash to our club at the moment. It has been a crime for us as a club to not rectify a modern format for ad revenue that has been lying broken for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoramsGlove 12 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was only saying seats in their place in the long run, although it baffles me that everyone scoffs at the idea because we can't fill our current stadium capacity..Empty seats are in moderation IMO..If we expanded our capacity our average attendance would more than likely go up. There would still be empty seats, but we would still gain a bigger average attendance than we do right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 110,307 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 That's a very negative view IMO. Surely as a club we need to look forward and one of the main items on the agenga is getting regular bums backs on seats as well as getting NEW bums on seats. If there are empty seats, surely we need to ask why and tackle it by more imaginative pricing structures and packages that will entice people back to Ibrox.But they arent doing that now so why would that change? At this moment in time around a 45,000 seater stadium would do us. Apart from when IRA fc visit the grounds not full. Even against Man ure last year there were empty seats. In the financial climate we are in at this moment in time people cant afford the football so i dont see why us raising our capacity would help other than too have more empty seats on show. Even the away sides are not bringing as back a support as they used too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people cannot afford to go to games, then you have to realistic and make it more affordable to people TBH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoramsGlove 12 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 7,000 of them?As silly as it sounds, what i mean is that we would still get a higher attendance..Our average this season so far is 46,314.. If we took our capacity down to that exact number would it be full every week?I could be very wrong but I don't think it works like that. If we added more we would get more people in..

Surely if the stadium was full every week then we would have the chance to expand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Rangers would have a decent amount of local and National business' queueing up to exploit a great ad stream like a large screen in an environment that a regularly get 45,000/50,000 people every other week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoramsGlove 12 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Just to clarify i'm not saying we should expand at this moment in time, all i'm saying is out average attendance would go up..The tims average attendance this season is 49,423 which is shocking considering they have about 7-8000 more seats than us?For me this doesn't mean they have a better/more loyal support, if anything it shows how shit their support is, but for me if the fans know there are more seats more will come..If we dropped our capacity then our average attendance would lower surely? It would work in the other direction aswell?I may have a flawed logic though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'd enjoy a better matchday experience if the guy controlling the volume on the PA system would crank the fucker down from the ear-exploding 10 that he has it at all the time, to a more listenable 5 or 6 on the dial.Halftime conversation is almost impossible - indeed the guy who sits along from us that reads his copy of War and Peace during the halftime interval has been complaining that his concentration levels are struggling to cope.Ibrox at full blast is where the word "Eh?" is heard (barely heard, surely?) most often.

GoramsGlove 12 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm sure what we lost in advertising while the screens were out would have been more than made up for using the electron boards that surround the pitch though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough if you have 50,000 every week but if we have 5/7,000 empty seats we need to address it and pricing is the most obvious thing that comes to mind.Call me a fool but surely it's better to have more people in the stadium at a somewhat reduced rate? The profit would be balance out in the end and you surely have more people buying from the shops/catering etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 All these people asking why we don't take the screens away and fill them with seats. We can't fill them with seats. Because of the support beams in the corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fucking ridiculous. It also shits on any type of atmosphere that the crowd could get started before big games (OF games) which is probably why they do it.
