Bill 13,717 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Lowering the pitch on it's own surely couldn't produce 6000 additional seats but if you raised the rear seats in the lower tier and sloped the lower tier more steeply you could probably do it - and without altering anyone's view or requiring anything more exotic than new earthworks and a new concrete base for the seating. The hospitality viewing in the Sandy Jardine stand might need to be sacrificed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I very much doubt it would give the number of seats quoted. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Ergs 1,654 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The whole perimeter seats 600, so an extra 10 rows seems to already have been discussed as a possibility. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,677 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Unfortunately Ibrox is now too small for Rangers. Adding capacity is imperative as I don’t think building a new stadium is feasible 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,830 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 To put this into perspective, we are taking about a 12% increase in capacity. Cannot see how that can be accomplished by just lowering pitch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The 6000 figure comes from more than just lowering the pitch, there are a few scenarios where they can add a dozen here a couple of dozen there etc. Construction work can be done during the season without affecting current capacity. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no doubt with one eye on the SFA nonsense about buying Hampden 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
