Possibly, but if you are at Anfield on a CL night the first rows of the crowd are probably half the distance from the touch line, which is a major factor in intimidating the opposition. If we could lower the pitch and put another 5 rows of seats in at the front of it would make a massive difference. Apparently this is a no go though due to the level of the water table.

The only empty rows at Anfield are the front row at each end to meet UEFA requirements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that’s what I’m talking about so if we did build the stands closer to the pitch we wouldn’t be able to use the seats in European competition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anfield is 101 x 68 metres, Ibrox is 105 x 68 metres. So we could add a couple of rows at each end for Euro games without a problem. Where we are missing a trick is not making the pitch wider for SPFL games. Add 3 metres each side and stretch the teams that sit deep.

Real Ranger 3,195 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 There will always be people who are never happy and go out their way looking for negatives like moaning about the food or the surrounding area. There’s nothing quite like Ibrox for me, it’s a truly wonderful stadium to watch football in.

HuistraHairDo 12,505 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 You would think this was posted on KDS the comments in here fs. It's a harmless opinion poll that we came 1st in and ppl are falling over themselves to find the negatives.

Willis 20,919 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Ibrox is a beautiful stadium and probably the best looking in Britain but its certainly needing some work and TLC done on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the pitch near touchline can't be closer because of the sight line at back of govan and back of main club deck, as for them leaving 3 rows behind the goals that's because euro advertising is bigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
