I tried to but I'm crap at negotiating these things so may be not be able to now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Celtic in December last year I sat up the very top of the Club deck and can't really remember any issues except the climb. I am not sure if I could see the nearside touchline or not but i was too nervous and happy to worry about it. You should have been able to see the touchline. The ball disappears above the roof sometimes though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eventually moved from CD5 to the Main Stand, mainly because of that awful bloody climb but also my shins could no longer take the bashing from the seat about six inches in front. I bought a debenture when it was being built, sat in my seat for the first game and never went back because it was so uncomfortable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escalators would be murder and dangerous with so many people at once. At the end of a game you would have a queue for hours'Not an option in my eyes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club deck only has the staircases to go up, further ways up would be needed for escalators. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I was impressed at Schalke where the biggest climb is outside the stadium with just a slow gradient up to the gates. after you are in the stadium you have to go up or down which meant far less of a climb, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when Murray built it in the 90s he either couldn’t be bothered or the cost bothered him? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do escalators cope with the huge crowds at mass transit systems like London's underground? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet stadiums like Emirates which houses more fans than Ibrox can manage it no problem...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
