Bears r us 30,810 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Would love to see us increase the capacity, just not sure what is being considered is the right way to go. Obviously we will have to wait until any plans are shown but I am not sure that this will happen any time soon and to be honest they push for 55 should be the first priority. I still get a feeling of dispair every time that grinning cunt Robertson appears, surely Rangers would keep him well away from a project like this if it ever became reality.

rossDas 1,071 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 What is the estimated lifespan of the current stands? Perhaps the only sensible opportunity for serious capacity expansion is when a stand needs to be fully replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hopefully we can do this, 4000 extra seats at £30 a ticket (I know some would be kids tickets etc so cheaper) would be over 100k a match, I’ve no idea how much work like this would cost but generating millions extra every season it shouldn’t take too long to pay for itself unless I’m hugely underestimating how much it would cost?

raging blue 1972 894 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 heard uefa are considering limiting european finals to stadiums holding 55,000 or over - might be a consideration for doing this (amongst others) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will do exactly what they did to the front of the Govan Rear and add 3 or 4 rows Would I’ve liked to hear about any plans they have to improve the disabled spaces than increase the capacity.

The Bar 72 seats idea ? That at least would stop this idea of lowering the pitch which I am not in favour off. The disabled spaces are terrible especially in bad weather, they would need a lift fitted to what you think they might do and give an area in any new seating for them.

Aye mate Bar 72 it’s relatively easy. We have lowered the pitch before and I’m sure it takes a lot to keep the pitch drained because of that, so I don’t know if that’s even possible again. I know Mate, I look over at the disabled section when it’s pishing down and think fuck we could do something better than that for our disabled fans.

History shows Rangers FC as the premier club of Scotland with the best standards and the biggest stadium , Since that changed in the mid 90's with Ibrox being smaller was always amazed that we never did anything about it. In this time Ibrox is too small and too old , new locks of paint here and there just look cheap and nasty. We all know the financial thing but something needs done.

I would argue it’s too small and too old, 55k is a good capacity for us. Old doesn’t mean bad if it's been looked after properly which Ibrox hasn’t for over 20 years, hopefully that’s changing with the work slowly getting done. Just because something is big and relatively new (ie The PeadoDome) doesn’t mean it’s any good as the afore mentioned mess of a stadium shows.

SIRB_72 4,001 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Expanding the stadium is something that needs to happen for me. More seats, more fans and more money for the club. Hopefully ups the chance of a standing area as well that every modern club should be having in their stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo1872 4,065 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Would prefer some better food outlets and an outright ban on handicapables operating the service, one of them gave me a fuckin scotch pie instead of a steak pie. Useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Viking 702 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I am all for this- but where the bloody hell is the money going to come from - I would rather we build a unbeatable team, win the league and a few cups- do well in Europe- before spending money on the stadium- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,282 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Would it be possible to increase capacity by getting rid of the executive boxes at the top of the Sandy Jardine stand and put another couple of rows of seats in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
