Particularly from outside that brickwork looks oppressive and depressing. The main stand is the only good part of the exterior. What would you rather have concrete blocks with cheap panelling like the modern stadiums ? The Copland stand is 37 years old and if it had been maintained over the past 10 years the way it should have it would still look like new. My only problem is how do we improve on 51,000? I would do the corners properly give it a clean and put all new seats in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell me another stadium in Scotland with offices on the outside ? Make these changes and we could have 58,000 in Ibrox at a fraction of the cost. And if we ever moved out the Scottish league we could put a third tier on the govan on top of the argyle house coming down to meet both stands behind the goal. Ibrox is one of the finest stadiums out there and is just needing a good clean and brought back to the usual standard. Creating the extra space in the lower parts of the stand would be a welcome addition and easily done. But the truth is we can't even afford to give her a proper clean which has been long overdue They look fresh out of the eighties, aka, pish. The whole stadium should be made to look like it was built at the same time as the Main Stand by Leitch, if you know what I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 None of our stands need rebuilt. Our stadium is fantastic and unique just needs a clean up. Would rather it be crumbling than move to some modern soulless stadium. Fans have died at Ibrox and their memory lives on there so we should never ever leave Ibrox Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could throw a canvas over that Just cover the full of Govan & Ibrox with a canvas cover, sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconer 29 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The big white beam structure is absolutely disgusting it's a disgrace it's got the state it has it's like lime green with dirt and seagull shite. Give me a power wash and a level three rope access manny and I'll do it myself since I've still got my rope ticket ?Wouldn't take two days of the weekend that's how strongly I feel about it. I've been to many a stadium around the world it's up there with the smartest but at this very moment it looks rough and neglected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee gym next to tunnel, never gets touched from one week to the other. In dire need of hoovering and mirrors cleaned. Don thinks know if the players still use it. Cob webs all over the tunnel area that have been there for months. Dont know who the contractor is for the cleaning but they need removed asap. There must be a stadium manager who should be on top of things like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lot of people posting about painting and spray cleaning the stadium and I totally agree. Surely there is a network of bears out there who own firms who can help out eg Andy Smillie would have scaffold up in a minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to buy decent players and you want investors in to build a new stadium,Regardless how old it is,It's the best football stadium in Scotland and one of the best in Europe. Priority is on the pitch not a new stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

insider 123 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm not impressed with the new banners. I'd rather what little money that is available be spent on something that actually made the stadium better for the longer term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 17,065 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ibrox Stadium shouldn't need tacky banners to cover it up, leave that to the breezeblock and MDF monstrosity across the city. It's a disgrace that the place has been allowed to fall into its present condition, surely it wouldn't cost that much to lick it back into shape.
