B1872 21,080 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Your last point is simply not true. When was the last time we sold out a game in Europe or against Dundee utd or Aberdeen or the likes? We struggled to get 30,00 in our most recent euro games and in the champions league seasons we hardly ever sold outEh we just sold out against St Mirren 11 days ago, no?

martin93 136 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Eh we just sold out against St Mirren 11 days ago, no?I meant over several seasons which is better evidence than as other folk have said, the honeymoon period we are going through just now, you can't seriously argue for extending the capacity based on one or two games, if we pretty much sell out over the course of a few seasons then that would be the time to look at it but it won't happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it would happen but I could see the benefits of it 100%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcd1983 25 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I think it would be well worth Dave king to at least explore what could be done to Ibrox to expand and keep ticket prices frozen instead of puting prices upWould he want 60000 paying £20 or40000 paying £25, I know what I would want Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copland bear 7,966 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Fans buying tickets would get that money back no problem, third tier in govan/jardine stand and the jumbo trons away to fuck and filled with seats, Ibrox would look immenseImagine the atmosphere in that stadium, opposition players arses would collapse Could be very easily done but at what cost? The blue bells are blue video Murray showed us the corners filled with seats with the capacity of 60,000, No one ever explained why the screens were put in instead of seats.

kcd1983 25 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 40000 people paying £25 for 18 games = £18,000,00060000 people paying £20 for 18 games = £22,800,000£4.8 more, how much would it cost to have rest of corners filled in and screens punted to fund some of it?

Parky89 12 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'd definitely prefer a full stadium every other week rather than a 60 odd thousand seater with patches of empty seats everywhere. Turn the enclosure back to standing area. Thats an idea now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats an idea now.If they made bf,gf,cf and enclosure all standing and left br,gr,CR and rest of stadium all seated I think there would be more than 60000 people and it wouldn't look as patchy if only 40000 turned up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky89 12 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Can we not have something like Dortmunds ground? Seats that can be removed for big games. They have a stand that when seated the ground holds about 60,000 then when converted to standing hold around 70,000+. Obviously the sfa and uefa would have to agree it first. Its not like we've got money to burn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
