kelvd1873 7,659 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 1 minute ago, Dan Deacon said: No but I think common sense says they'd want to continue works interrupted for as long as possible and that shutting down and getting the stadium approved to open for fixtures would be a ballache. If that was an option why wasn't that mentioned yesterday and only mention alternative venues. It's shite regardless but playing at an alternative ground seems like it's what's needed until works completed. Has it 100% been ruled out by the club yet? Only said looking at alternatives. I think it’s important to be playing at least the champions league games at Ibrox. Tbh I don’t really care as long as the results on the park are wins although I know it’s shit for season ticket holders etc in the Copland.

Crane isn’t on the pitch so you could remove the crane and the boards on the pitch area,cover the rest of the boards if you want.Takes an hour to reset that crane up PS when the fuck will they change the yellow side sheeting Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted June 21 Popular Post Share Posted June 21 I think the reason there is so much anger being aimed at the board over this is there isn't much goodwill amongst the support towards them. If this was an isolated incident I'm sure people would be understanding but the past few years have been one disaster after another on and off the park and people have had enough.

The goalmouth area looks to be covered in boards as well as the crane. In order to get that into a state of playability you would have to move the crane and the boards and re-turf the pitch. This would likely need to be done a few days before a game. So you are halting construction for a few days to play a game of football. Then after the game is finished you would have to bring it all back in, set it up etc. If we play a Champions League game on a Tuesday night and then a league match on the Saturday you probably halt construction for the entire week. It just doesn't seem feasible at all. Dan Deacon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they relay that section each week they wrap up work and hope it is ready for the match the next day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Also for me an alternative venue and folk having to suck up some travel for hopefully a handful of games is better than a whole section not being able to get in / doing a ballot to see who does. Plus it means works can continue uninterrupted so that the stadium can reopen ASAP.

The SRU might not try to screw us as much as the SFA to hire. Murrayfield we could sell 000s more tickets. Availability potential into September+. We'd probably protect better the hospitality revenue stream at Murrayfield too than at Hampden whilst having all ST holders in. Fuck knows there'll be more, buy the bottom line will be the priority. Those factors will be more important to a Board than the question of Glasgow v Edinburgh. Dan Deacon and Paisley Blue Loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were successful in the ballot you could chose any seat in the stadium.

kris1984 1,569 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 This is a massive fuck up by the board. And it’s not the first. Sadly won’t be the last. We have a shower of absolute useless cunts running us and I’m sick of it. How many millions will we lose because of this? Plus Hampden being out means huge effort from support to get to Edinburgh. I long for the day we have some serious players at the top of the club. crmpicco, Madina and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
