Did I say any of that???? Im talking about future plans that suddenly drop from nowhere. If you want to swallow ever little crumb our board toss you carry on.

BookWorm 4,151 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I thought they were going to convert a few rows of the Coupland front into the safe standing bit, not put more seats in there. Might increase chances for me to get a season ticketc though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can obviously understand the need for investment in other aspects of the club, particularly to close the revenue gap with celtic. Possibly short-term outlook from me which doesn’t always end well but I’d rather everything was geared towards a winning team on the park in all honesty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future plans have got to start from somewhere, all the essential repairs and improvements happening right now tells me that we are heading the right way, Craig Whyte/CharlesGreen/Ashleys plants and all their entourage trying their level best to milk us dry every last one of them a cunt, I may be in the minority but I will cut the board some slack when I see the huge improvements top to tail in our club.

The same cunt in charge now was there when we used to get all the Moonbeams. 😂😂 And that cunt you are cutting some slack to is costing us millions because of his and his hired hands stupidity, so from now on when it’s done I will pass judgement. Until then if we take the stance the board is spouting pish we are more than likely spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockwellGers 14,718 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Just stick a line of seats along the edge of the roof on each stand. And a safety rail. Just get seats from IKEA or something. Easy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb85 1,783 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I think we are just looking to see if it’s possible to expand. I can’t see anything being done for at least a couple seasons yet. No harm in getting this looked at now and later on getting right to it after winning a couple titles and playing champs league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really saying that you are happy with Rangers falling behind team after team with modern stadium? I'm not. I go to the Struth stand every game, and it's not good. I go to the Thornton Suite for hospitality once a season, have done 4 times. It's well jaded. The only decent bit is the marble staircase. We are falling further and further behind, with no plans for a stadium that is already 40 year old, forgetting the main stand. At the end of the day, I'd watch Rangers at a council pitch. But to be frank, that's not how we'll bring in future generations. So yes, the current stadium situation, comparing what other countries have, is depressing.

We can spruce it up, but what are the future plans? These things need to be in place 5-10 years in advance. It's not happening any time soon, so no need to worry about a bowl design.
