TheDetails 98 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Prefer a seat personally but I agree that there needs to be fairness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Would be great if we could get some standing areas back. I suspect we are doing nothing on this at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Bob 1,360 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Enclosure would be ideal but we would need to consult with the ST holders in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,534 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Enclosure would be ideal but we would need to consult with the ST holders in there.Nah, fuck them.

The Educator 1,572 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I really think our club has more pressing matters to deal with than worrying about whether or not "they" are allowed to take football crowd safety back a step by introducing standing areas.

cumnockbear 2,446 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ibrox would look daft with any sort of standing area, let the beadrattlers get on with it, they can re enact the Dundee boxing day game all over again in their new standing areas and fight amongst themselves and pish all over each other like a throwback from the 70's Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most German clubs have safe standing areas and there's nothing daft looking about their grounds. Seats can be put back in for European games. I don't see how it'd look stupid having a section that allowed standing if done safely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in a standing section in Germany and the seats were locked (closed) in place. The atmosphere was amazing. The seats can be unlocked and used as seats when necessary. If fact you wouldn't really see much difference to the section with these installed.Anyone who thinks this is a bad idea doesn't know what they're talking about IMO.

I was using German football as an example of how it wouldn't look daft, I didn't ask your opinion on their football.I'm giving you my opinion on their football, why would standing improve the atmosphere at Ibrox Williamson ? the only atmosphere generated at Ibrox is from BF1 and there is seats there already, the atmosphere is fine, what makes you think the atmosphere would be any better without seats ? the rest of the stadium is silent without the UB/BO so what makes you think the silent majority of ibrox ( 99%) would make noise without seats ?

Shetland Bear 433 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 This is a brilliant idea and something the club needs to seriously press on with. Obviously there would need to be consultations with ST holders but I'd have the entire Copland as a Safe Standing area like the German model which would turn into a seated section for Europe and potentially Old Firm games as I could see that being an issue with the police.

There are many more people within Ibrox that would love to be more vocal on matchday but can't as they'll either be moaned at by people around them or no cunt will join in.
