Gonzo79 15,299 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Looks like Roofe is struggling to get fit in time for Wednesday. We really could've done with him. I'm finding it difficult to get a good night's sleep just now - can't stop thinking about the final. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,349 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 No more talk from me about this. Nothing should detract from the build up to the match. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that would be ideal. You will still manage to watch the match some other way though, yes? 20 minutes ago, Blue Moon said: Are you at the windup?

Bluedell 5,679 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The last place I'd want to watch the game would be on screens at Ibrox I've heard 2008 wasn't that great with little atmosphere, the natural delay in the broadcast and various other issues, and no alcohol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,652 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 There is no reason why Rangers couldn't have provisionally prepared for this a month ago at a minimal cost of existing staff time. Catering, security and other services are already outsourced to staffing an event is simple. Sourcing extra screens should also be simple. Carefully vetting supporters by restricting the event to season ticket holders is also simple. Bringing in an external company to project manage is simple. Charging interested supporters to recoup any costs and perhaps even make a small profit is something that could have been explored. Yes there are other factors at play - policing and political to name just two - which might have concerned the board in a PR sense. I understand that but that's something we should also be able to anticpate and deal with by now. But we know they struggle with that so what's new? All in all, why anyone would want to suggest this is difficult and/or not question why we can't mirror what other clubs are doing seems strange... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt many attendees would bring their own drink, mainly tonic wine and it might not be as 'family friendly' as one would want. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it wouldn't interest me either to be honest but I can understand why many would like it. It's the usual executive fob off with no explanation or minimal effort to understand why 2008 didn't work and improve that frustrates me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 To those going to the game, it would be best to take a powerbank with you so that you can recharge your phone during the day. You don't want to turn up at the ground with no charge in your phone and not get in. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
