Then we can have an informed debate, rather than the car crash which was the other thread.Maybe even a poll? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,448 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Read this the other day. It's good that he is consulting the fans. Hopefully if its going to happen they can at least agree to something not too stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerwelly 115 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Good stuff, here's hoping for a positive outcome, which would be a decent name and lots of money! Always will be Ibrox! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncybear 43 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 As a related aside, Muirhead has a blog on ESPN ( see newsnow Rangers from late last night) Promoting the idea that they should go for stadium sponsorship too. Laughably he reckons they would get £4 million a year. He's a little confused on the history/heritage issue though. According to him only one club can and has sold its history. Charles should call him as a witness when the title stripping tribunal are challenged though the courts.In terms of realistic valuations the following provides a basis from which to speculate.http://www.american-appraisal.co.uk/UK/Home-Page-Features/Feature-1.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazy figures being thrown around previously can probably be put to bed and more realistic figures from mid to lower Premiership clubs can be considered. If it's more then good, it may sway some who are unsure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Talking to the fans is always a good thing, but what influence to they actually have in the final decision.It would certainly be nice to think that he's listen to what the fans have to say, no matter the outcome!I could handle the stadium being called something different for a few years for some money. We all know what it's called anyway.Some teams change their names for money. Airbus UK are playing on Wedensday night I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The cash we'd get from this would let us sign a good player from Europe every season without really having to budget for it.No brainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny_01 2,007 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Alot of talk above is hes sitting down with fans to discuss it, i would say hes gony tell the fans its happening. I am all for it. Its money for nothing. Ibrox is ibrox.... a few sportsdirect or Orange mobile signs around ibrox aint gony matter a difference.if we want to get stronger we cannae be silly ... if someone gives us 2million a year for sponsoring the stadium then great.but every meeting charles green has had with the fans was to tell us something was happening and then getting our views to oliviate and fears, so my guess is this is a done deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie2909 21 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 YOu have to look at it this way if the stadium was renamed and we got £4 -5 Mill per year that is money we have never had before and we would be less likely to ever be in the postion we were in last season ever again.Also i agree that it could buy us a good quality european player every season without haveing to budget for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWTC 2,272 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Im in no doubt this is goin to happen, its just a matter of finding some sort of common ground.Im all for the idea of keeping "ibrox" in the name though, it should keep everyone happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
