There’s over 10K on the waiting list isn’t there? They would go right away. Would imagine a big chunk would be hospitality as well given all the hospitality season tickets are sold out as well. There’s nowhere close to that on a waiting list, the biggest chunk of that wouldn’t take a seat if offered one. For years it was piss easy to get a ST and they couldn’t be bothered then. It’s all bluster since Gerrard won us that last title, it’ll die down again when we start winning silverware regularly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always the case, I wasn't in a position to buy 1 3 years ago but I'm on the waiting list. Do agree with your last point though, I think it'll get easier once we win titles more regularly.

It’s brutal getting out of Ibrox as is. Better yet, redesign concourse like English stadiums, sell booze and stick on 5:30 game liveon tv’s. Let the crowd slowly disperse.

Essandoh 21,288 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 It has to be a miscommunication. There’s no way they can justify or feasibly afford a capacity increase of circa 20k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way they can justify or feasibly afford a capacity increase of circa 20k. I think the same, pretty sure it's a misquote. Copland and Broomloan are around 7.5-8k each, so I'm assuming he said increasing them each to 8-10k, not an additional 8-10k, or at most 8-10k additional across both. There is zero chance the board are considering an extra 20k seats. Darth Bear, Essandoh, Jelavic191 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal72 11,817 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think expanding by 20k is pointless btw. But we should be aiming for a 60k seater tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, the capacity of an end stand is split with the lower tier being approx 3500 and the upper approx 4500. Another tier would possibly add 4000 but the construction cost would be astronomical. Look what a relatively simple building like Edmiston House cost.
