"Difficult to criticise the board for this".. talk about 'incorrect conclusions'. So a Board that had the entitlement to say NAW! THAT'S NO GONNA WORK, shouldn't be criticised? You're either in group 2 or 3. Alas, you always find people that don't have a clue will blow smoke - just let in some clear clean air there. Just gonna ignore you from now on as you really haven't a clue how to debate cogently. One general point for viewers. People that go on Rangers forums fall into many categories.. I'll mention them and you can figure out for yourselves where this one lies.. Group 1) Rangers fans who are open to dialogue and are prepared to accept when they are wrong. Group 2) Rangers fans who don't want any change at the club and want to close up any push for action by the fans, apathetic fans who don't want change. Group 3) Celtic fans who regularly go on Rangers forums trying to create divisions so as to muddy waters and cause Bears to argue with each other. BYE BYE mate - being wrong isn't the end of the world, I've been wrong on occasions but I always hold up my hand. I doubt you will, so you'll not hear from me again.

You're clearly not interested in cogent debate so I'll leave you to it.

Spot on Gribz, some of the design work might have excuses as they were done in the past but we need to factor in treating RANGERS FANS as PRIME SUPPORTERS (customers). There's no DOWNSIDE if they treat we Rangers fans like sh*te, but treat others in the same way.. and they go into hiding and are scared of the media.

"Difficult to criticise the board for this".. who gave the okay for the design of new seats and the cantilever? The answer is to take action and that means a) buying tickets but not showing for games.. that shows we're not happy b) demonstrating outside Ibrox in the hope that Directors not scared of Parks will start to ask questions and look for answers.. new investment.. King back.. Are you saying my remarks are a little tantrum? Protesting for we fans to be treated better is important - change never happens if we all sit back and think protesting is 'COMPLETELY POINTLESS'. Rangers are being destroyed by APATHY, and you've shown were it comes from. Also, one last thing protesting outside Ibrox doesn't happen in isolation.. it happens when fans build up a head of steam, and that means internet and pub and all other outlets, but I guess you're happy with finishing 2nd while they rack up league wins.

We do have a problem with many areas of the Main Stand and the Enclosures (far east and west) I just hope that when we eventually (with Parks in charge it will be a long time) increase capacity that passes Parkhead we take those seats out of commission or sell them at a pittance. Thing that angers me most is we give that corner away to away fans.. absolutely brilliant seats, no obstruction and in return our fans are hidden in partial sited areas of away grounds. Rangers FC must change this IF we the fans in any way matter to them. Giving the ****s 5% of our capacity in that area compared to 5% seats that're partially sighted is criminal and Rangers should be deeply ashamed of themselves at how they allow Rangers fans to be treated. Some will say it's on the advice of the Police.. but then again for Rangers fans to be sighted where they are at Parkhead is more dangerous.. the other corner (where the scum of the GB sit is more ideal for our fans entering and exiting their ground - have we questioned the Police on this? We pump tens of millions each decade into Rangers and our Board don't give a rats ass for we the fans.

mm Mixed feelings myself but in total I'm for it. Reason, it's highlighted the cheating and done the job Rangers FC should be doing by looking back. Trouble is looking back they've just added rationale for the mistakes.. there was an electrical outage was a new one.. It's now on Rangers to harass them for 'clarification'. Also, they need to refer to Celtic games.. and the mistakes they gain points from and the ones we lose (or could've lost) from these 'mistakes'. Let's be absolutely clear, and the number of goals in Rangers games that go to VAR, relates to the abuse that the Rangers hating media and Scottish Clubs throw the way to officials bears this out. The officials are TERRIFIED to give us decisions and their default now is to refuse anything that benefits us, or hinders any opposition (or Celtic). So.. all about the club HIGHLIGHTING the inconsistency and applying pressure. I'd also like to see Rangers put forward a kinda badge of honour re ex players, as the number of these players that basically bash Rangers for a few bucks is so f*cking annoying. It doesn't happen with that lot over at Parkhead, any sign of not toeing the party line then they become persona non grata.

The next update on all will be Monday 11th November 2024 and I'll post the links then. It's completely sorted now, but 1) I wanna make sure the formula entered works out and 2) I'll have a better idea re these European formats and how they work out after this 8 GAMES part.. so after 4 games (by then) I'll know how it finishes off. Reason for the delay this season is the amount of players coming and going... there was a few errors but in hindsight (being a pedantic bassa) that is one of the tasks that appeals to me - get the feeling that subconsciously I deliberately make them. So.. Monday 11th November 2024 at around dinner time (ish).

It obstructs the view. Also, when fans stand up (en masse) in front of them they can't see (from what I can see - I'll nip up there at the next home league match to confirm) they can't see because standing up means the cantilever obstructs the view especially at the Broomloan end goal.

Is there any pics doing the round. Hopefully so as I'll need to go up there for a game just to take them. Another point that's become clear is that these barriers that they put in the Copland Front (at the back - far left and far right) needs to be removed pronto. At the moment these areas are looking like the back of the class where you were meant to stand with head to the corner.. then next summer there needs to be amended plans for those two areas there too.

Totally agree. He can be a special player - seen it a few times where he's on the bench and we're doing badly.. no signs of being able to open up oppo.. but then Hagi on at half-time and 0-1 becomes 3-1. A thing that confuses me is how often fans call him 'wee'. He's a tall lad. Re Europa League, he's not in the squad but the question then is, is the Squad we've given for the whole 8 games or just the first 4? Having said that I think Ianis will be more valuable coming on in domestic games.

Is this just for a couple of games or for the initial whole 8 games?

As above pic from today at 3:15pm I'm liking the look of the disabled area. Betcha they have heaters in there in the winter.. good for them.

In Morrison's earlier on and at the checkout nearby I saw a Rangers fan taking some light-hearted abuse from a Celtic supporting stranger, and taking it really well.. both seemed happy... seen that a few times in recent years, don't mind taking it myself either. Must say in my near 68 years I've never saw a Celtic fan (after a defeat) taking a ribbing from a stranger that's a Bear. Is that unusual? I'm not talking about pals at work or in the pub.

As above, they've started laying more Rangers Bricks. Also, taken at 5:15pm

Not with Parks and Co it isn't. I agree.

If you can't wait for the current one to be ready you'll get the last upload on my homepage on twitter @The_Sharp_Files

I'll take your word for that mate - got a lot on at the minute. Cheers. I'm probably gonna get a new laptop soon, so I dare say any msexcel upgrades in software might be easier and quicker to download/upload.

Not sure what csv is but I'll look it up.. the file size from what everyone says is easy to download the only downside is the time it takes to do so. It takes ages to upload too btw.

3-5-2 and the ugly wee Jap doesn't score that goal. 3-5-2 solves the Tav dilemma (for a while at least) as we can play him right side of the 5 (or 1 in from the right) First point is clear to me.. the second is just a way to get him in the team (captain n all that)

I think Frankie has some links but I think it's ones from the past. I'll post a link for the new spreadsheets whenever I have this current one sorted. Like I said before lots of changes at Rangers this season along with a more complicated European set-up so it's taking longer than expected. Also, spotted a few mistakes that are proving problematic to get the answer to.. Time..

I hope you're wrong there Lenny. Looks like another Stuart Robertson YES MAN.

That's a worry, as it sounds like they're not gonna wait until we go past 60k to have a reaction. All the more urgent that we go to 3 tiers in all the Stands (filling the corners probably) and that to me and I dare say everyone spells we need Parks and the rest out - these people aren't 'Speculate to Accumulate' Capitalists, they just see a support that will continue to throw money into the club.

My concern is the Board have chosen between getting the whole Copland Road Stands opened (for a grand opening) and the more pragmatic, get one finished first and have Ibrox ready for opening asap and getting that income. I dare say we can still give Dundee/Hibs tickets and take care of our Season Ticket holders, if we open just one of the Stands.
