Rangers director reveals Ibrox expansion blueprint plans to boost capacity

[Bill 13,717]

Many years ago I sat in the very back row of the club deck and was surprised to find I had no view of the Govan stand, which was completely obscured by the. Club deck roof. Didn’t like that at all

Aye, I remember that too Bill, sitting in the back row, when Davie Robertson was bombing up the line, I could only see his feet!. ?

 

I'm with Gonzo though, the more new stadia I see, the more I cherish the main stand. ?

I loved the Club deck, had a season ticket for couple of seasons up there. Back then it was still quite fresh though. The only fault up their for me was unless you were a midget you left every game with bruised knees as there is zero leg room. Im average height - no idea what it must feel like for guys 6ft plus.

My mate and I bought the Club Deck bonds when it was being built. We sat in our seats for the first game. He lasted till half time, me full time and we never went back. Far too uncomfortable.

Someone said to me the other day, wasn't it impressive we have a 10,000 waiting list for season tickets. I said if that was the number then it was a tragedy we had to leave at least £5million on the table every year because we couldn't sell what people apparently want to buy. frankly, if that's the situation then the stadium simply is no longer fit for purpose. Most of it is 50 years old and the main stand, despite relatively recent improvements, is all but 100 years old and no longer providing what we need. Sentimentality is understandable but we need to be  club that leads change, not one that's shackled by the past.

We should get some of that money by pushing up prices. Particularly for hospitality.

Yeah it can be difficult. But as some have previously said front and centre has some viewing but there are quite a bit of restricted views - and the cost up their was very high when I had mine.

I wonder if part of the refurb could be to reduce the capacity a bit in the Club Deck to make it better viewing and more spacious. I think it holds 7000 but a shuffle around and taking down to 6000 may work better and add 1000 elsewhere in the ground if possible.

Restricted view in the club deck?

Yeah. My mate sat in line with the goal line Broomloan end and quite far back. You cant see the corner flag and part of the pitch at the Copland / East Enclosure.
