Jon-the-Stripe 2,459 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Sorry Bear's just had to post this the excitement got the better of me!I've skrimped and saved for months and at last its done....Flights booked, Swallow Hotel booked, Ibrox Tour Booked (for second time)...I'm on my way to Ibrox for the Remembrance Weekend. Just gotta get the Peterhead Match Tickets when they're available now.I literally cannot wait to get there, when i clicked the confirm buttons on the flights i had a tear in my eye.My god Rangers FC is special and the events of this year have raised our great club's stature even higher in my mind (and in my heart).WE ARE THE PEOPLE GOD BLESS THIS WONDERFUL CLUB Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

topgoalie 637 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 You just cannot beat the feeling walking up to the stadium after a few beers,just does not leave you even 35 years later.Then into the stadium "amongst yer ain"......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sliver fox 1,746 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've got exactly the same feelings as the OP for the boxing day game. Managed to make the first 4 or 5 games this season and then left for Kabul, but have been granted an unexpected 2 weeks off over xmas/new year. Can't wait to get back for what will probably be my final 2 home games of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 No place I'd rather be. Ibrox gets into your blood. You crave your next visit. Got my Peterhead flight booked. But I'm hoping I can sort out a day off for the Glasgow Derby October 20th otherwise it'll be over a month with no Ibrox for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearette 23 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I unexpectedly made the Motherwell game last week. Decided to go instead of going to the Fratellis and it was the best decision I've ever made. There's no better feeling than being at Ibrox. I don't get down very much but it's always very special when I do. Hoping to make it down on the 20th for the Queens Park game and I cannot wait.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Don't get to Ibrox very often at all but it's always a thrill. When I'm back in Scotland staying with family, take the subway, short walk from the station. Then hop on the subway for the return journey. When you first see the field ............... brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stopped at a red light at the junction of Copland and Edmiston Drive and looked up and the gold lion against the blue on the side of the Main Stand was shining as bright as anything and it made me think how lucky I am to be able to pass it every day Hope you enjoy your trip mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
