In what sense was it not true for those not there? Was there more people for it than being made out at the AGM?
The Rangers AGM
- Thread starter mdingwall
- Start date
I'd like to think the museum would be open 6/7 days a week.

Majority were for it when a survey was done
A new survey should be done with more soffit if questions + feasibility study done on cost
Questions like - would you pay more to cover cost etc

of a survey of roughly 7,500 responses, 82% said they were in favour of safe standing at Ibrox

Alan Harris (yes the nutter). - away European travel. Safety of fans and ticket allocations. I have been at 45 in. 39 cities. Brondby worst experience ever. Home club and police failed to put in agreed procedures. Faced baton wielding stormtrooper.
Robertson - you are one of our more regular contributors …
Supposed to be ticket cordon but was none. Police didn’t deal with it and just piled in. Brondby fined 3,00 Euros for their breaches.
Our security already in Lyon ahead of that game.

I know that buddy but I mean a fresh one so we can get current feeling known too
This is a disgrace
Things like disabled access improving are
Think this is more important than the safe standing issue tbh. Our disabled punters have been shat on in terms of service for a long time.

There was more to his question though, wasn’t just about the stadium access. But should he stay silent on it because someone else asked?

Of course it's not. The majority of fans who go to Ibrox couldn't give 2 hoots either way, add into the mix that whole groups may need moved to accommodate it depending on where it goes, and it therefore will likely never happen.
Section I'm in (CF3) stands for all Euro Group games now mate. Have done for the past three seasons. From what I could see there were loads of areas doing the same. Definitely appetite for this.

I misunderstood the original post. I thouight there was a mixed reaction at the AGM to Robertsons response to the question rather than a mixed response to the survey.

It’s a pathetic excuse and like you said if it costs people an extra couple of hundred for the first season and an extra £50 for the seasons after so be it let the supporters pay for it.
They were happily enough to nearly double and kick us out of bar72 sorry price out with not even a seasons notice so if in reality could’ve saved up to keep the seat there but they knew what they were doing pricing us out so the people greeting about us having the best seats in the house hoovered them up.
Thanks for the updates.

I know many people of various age demographics that want safe standing
It needs to be done. We need to ramp up the pressure

I'm personally not interested in a safe standing section, but there is obvious demand there. Just about everybody stands in BF1 as it is, so what is the clubs issue in converting BF1 and 2 at least for those who do want it. It's not like they are prime seats either in terms of view or price.
I'm sure people in that section would be happy with even a small rise in ticket price to cover cost of construction. I'm talking the equivalent of a couple of quid a game.

'It would improve the atmosphere but'
Terrible from Robertson and the club.

Who would have to move if it was implemented in BF. It would be a tiny percentage of folk in BF that would be against it

In what way will safe standing improve the atmosphere? It’ll benefit a small section of the support, most likely the UB who stand already. No or little impact on atmosphere at all. It wouldn’t be an accessible area for the majority of supporters so I’m not fussed about it in the slightest.

Look at away games. Look at the thousands who stood on Sunday at Livi.
People want to stand. It is the clubs duty to provide this as an option. They are failing us by ignoring the demand.
Fair play to the clubs in England who are giving their fans what they want and also helping to improve the atmosphere etc.
Makes my blood boil when the club treat this as an issue of non importance

I don’t want to be in it but I want it at Ibrox for the supporters who do there is absolutely no excuse for it not to happen even if it means those doing so have to pay for it themselves because they would.
The simple fact is it’s not making the club money were as from paying nearly 1100 in bar72 going to 2400 they couldn’t give a f*ck if you couldn’t afford it because the people in club Europe wanted the seats at the premium price.
Because those who want it want it moved to behind the goals which wound mean moving loads of those who don’t which gives the Club a headache they don’t want.
Our security in Lyon - it’s a shame Lyon still don’t have security in Lyon.

My take on the safe standing, although I am all for it, think the club will be looking at other ways to expand capacity first, safe standing section ,might come after that.

Fair question. Possibly need council involvement to provide a pedestrian crossing. Even part time lights that are only active on event days.

Folk have to stand at away games as they have no choice,
given the choice a lot wouldn’t,

Anonymous guy. Glad to be at an AGM where it is about the actual club - it’s not for everyone.
Rangers held to a different standard than other clubs. What about Hunza and Dornan? All the time we have these negative MSPs which we never seem to get feedback from the club on. Brand protection and vilification of fans important - tell a lie often enough ..
David Graham - we hold media to account, all we do has best of Rangwrs at heart - balance and fairness is all we look for. 1986 when I was born David Holmes the then chairman wa complaining about same thing. Our response is long term process and probably best more scalpel than chainsaw.

If it’s going to be in BF it would need to be the whole of BF not just the middle section otherwise it would block views etc. the issue of moving UB centrally although related should not stand in the way of safe standing

So can those who do want it not accept the compromise of being in BF1 (and maybe 2) where most are already standing? At the moment its a stalemate.

It’s an absolute shambles, there’s not even a safety risk. It’s actually more safer with rails stopping folk from going into the row in front of them. We’re falling behind English clubs who have it, even Killie have a Safe Standing section…

So much so that I literally can't remember an away game where fans sat.
It proves that the 'vast majority' are happy to stand.

Making BF safe standing would present an issue if we drew the tims at Ibrox in the cup unfortunately.

It really is an issue of non importance in the wider scheme of things considering where the club has been over the last 10 years.Look at away games. Look at the thousands who stood on Sunday at Livi.

This will likely costs millions and it’s money we don’t have. Not sure what is hard to understand about that.
I would rather the new manager gets the money in January and we go on and win the league.
Folk stand anyway.
Think if the stadium is expanded safe standing should go there. Then no one has to be moved for it. It’s a win win.
And for the majority of game that I could hear the signing was coming from where the UB were situated for most of the game not the whole ground. Its a myth safe standing will improve the atmosphere at Ibrox
I would respectfully suggest that is why Bisgrove is in the job and not you.

I love our board, I’d rather them than Newcastle’s new owners, I couldn’t imagine us in safer hands.
It appears there’s a real lack of appetite for safe standing though, no movement for years.
In that case, UB and crucially the wider Broomloan Collective, should start standing for 90 minutes of every match in protest. Our own make-shift safe standing section until it’s implemented properly.
Yes, it’ll cause fuss from some initially, but that’ll only create more awareness for the campaign.
Rangers come before any individual.
That’s the quickest way to ensure safe standing- Action. Without it, we’re going nowhere fast.
Make it happen. @Broomloan

Safe standing isn't a priority because it isn't a priority - it actually isn't. It would be a desirable 'nice to have'...all of the 'nice to haves' should be on the pitch, not off it in the current climate.
Priorities relating to attendance should be wholly focussed on finding a ground-breaking way to increase our capacity by a meaningful number.
Somewhat surprising that the club even need to emphasise how far down the priority list it is.
If our finances were wildly different and everything else was up to scratch then I'd understand.
