TheBluebells 6,898 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Worked in it during the Commonwealth games and a lot of it clearly needed some tlc. Hopefully it's something that'll be addressed, especially cleaning the top of the main stand, it's badly in need of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera platform stays there as the sun can be straight in your eyes in the Govan. Camera needs the sun behind it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just keep on submising to suit your clouded judgement and I'll listen to my professionally trained mate who has spent extensive time in the place in an exclusive manner So your mate has done a professional job and recommended the place is closed ?

The survey would be for the club, why would he say the place should be closed. If there is no hot running water the enviromental agency would serve the club with a notice, if the work isn't done they would close the stand.

Well he isn't an EHO so I doubt that he has that authority. What he will have done though is recommend what works are needed to be carried out and im sure that would have been on the list.

Because as a professional you would close it on food safety if there's no water to wash, clean hands etc. regardless of whether it's an internal adviso/consultant or an external GCC report.

You wouldn't even mention EH buy yes you would write your report and recommend it closes based on food safety legislation probably using a rag system and if the client ignored it then as an advisor/consultant it's really out your hands.

Doesnt happen as too many times a season unfortunately! This reminded me.......Was watching an 'Impossible Engineering' episode where they showed you the build of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. They go to mind boggling lengths to make sure the climate is just right inside the stadium during summer and winter. Climate control at Ibrox generally comes down to the choice of 1 pair of socks or 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,820 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The stadium is sitting on potentially a fairly lucrative income for years to come. I spoke with someone in the solar panel business who's company approached the previous regime about 18 months ago. Their proposal was for a feasibility study into fitting solar panels on the entire roof areas of all four stands. They had apparently already looked at it from an engineering point of view and determined that the roofs would be capable of bearing the additional weight involved. Next step was to install sunlight recorders at three points on each roof for twelve months to come up with the numbers. previous board knocked it back without even hearing them out at a meeting. Mind you - this was the same week that the whole marketing department and the manager's secretary got sacked in order to cut costs. Club was even on stop with grass seed suppliers for not paying bills! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
