PRW. 5,631 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If Rangers truly do want Ibrox to have a fantastic atmosphere, not just once or twice a season, then they'll invest in this and put it in the Copland Front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWAC 2,245 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 IMO our support has changed since we went all seated in the way we regard a certain seat as "ours". Remember what happened last year with the UB's asking to move to the copland? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a club we have to strengthen the squad and of the field thare are still plenty of thing to be sorted out that may require cash. But it will give the fans who want to stand which I think there will be 1000s the choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxterboy 476 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 There is absolutely no comparison to the excitement generated by a terracing compared to an all seated stadium. At my first game as kid at ibrox ma da took me to the stand for safety. During the game he asked me how i liked being at the game. I told him it was magic but, pointing to the Copland road end where it was pandemonium, asked him if we could go in there next time. He laughed and obliged. Make this happen now, Rangers!

The excitement generated by this group will create so much atmosphere and intimidation, it will motivate the team to win games they otherwise wouldn't. Great atmospheres will also sell more seats at wee games that many would not otherwise attend. Which means more money for the club with pie and bovril sales etc...

You're right. Maybe people would drink less in the pubs or busses and pace themselves throughout the match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I would like to see it back with safe standing at either the Copland Rd front or the enclosure but only after the club have sorted some proper disabled access first Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first old firm victory was at the girodome when it was still a terrace. When Rangers scored the place went ballastic, it was amazing. I went one way and my cousins went the other. Took a good five minutes minutes to find them after everyone had calmed down. Not experienced anything else like it. That's my memory off being on a terrace but it won't be the same with the rail seating. I think a lot of people would be disappointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,531 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The 'that's my seat and I'm moving for no cunt' mentality would scupper any plans to turn the Copland front into safe standing, the only place the majority of ST holders would vote for this to happen is Broomloan front 1  and  possibly BF2, too many lazy cunts set in their ways who just want to sit on their arse for 90 minutes eating hot dogs and moaning like fuck if anybody stands up or sings a naughty song. Fuck, even when we close the club deck for cup matches we get people taking the huff and refusing to attend because they canny sit on 'their own seat '...We're our own worst enemy at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macranger 296 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For the life of me, I can't understand why the UB's want to be in BF1. Stuck right in the end of the stand, while a few hundered away fans sit in the SJ corner & are heard all round the stadium. If it was up to me, I'd stick all the away fans in BF1 & move the UB's up to the SJ corner & then depending on how many are there, start off by giving them BF5, then BF4 etc. The sound from that corner travels all round the stadium.

Then it is beyond my comprehension how anyone who has experienced the terracing at ibrox during an old firm game - which is, without doubt, the most exhilarating, electrifying phenomena in all of sport could write what you did. On sunday i attended the Indy 500. There were close to half a million people and the announcer described it as the greatest sporting event in history. It was amazing. However, relative to the terracing at ibrox during an old firm game, it was as exciting as a game of bingo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gc_CardonaldLoyal 0 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think safe standing would be great, problem is enough people won't move seats in another stand (Copland front would be perfect) and making it the broomy means moving the Mhanks when they come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
