Could Rangers introduce safe standing?

We could actually sell any seats taken out, like we did with the multi-coloured ones. I forget who we sold them to, St Johnstone???

 

I still doubt is something we should even be bothered with this year. Next year maybe, as we'll have some unspent transfer money laying around.

I think we gave them away to a Lithuanian team...

 

We gave a European tie to Kanus, but if we gave away our seats as well, now we know why Romanov came here. lol

Just thinking this could be something to help attract some of the less convinced fans back, and as an interesting experiment to show that there is a place for safe standing in British stadiums. We could start with just 1000 places which could possibly take the place of say 800 seats and actually increase the capacity of the stadium.

 

If we get the rules changed, that could be a cheap way of increasing the capacity by say 2500 places (by replacing 10k seats, to 53.5k for Celtic games when we re-enter the SPL.

 

That would bring in at least an extra £150k a year and possibly more like £500k when some other games are taken into account if we're back to capacity due to the excitement of being back in the SPL plus the odd cup game against Celtic.

Would actually end up costing the club revenue when we get back into European competition.
