That happened 4 years ago mate it’s literally metal and plastic. The club’s just giving out terrible excuses.I’d be willing to pay double for the first season to cover the implementation cost for my space
Feasibility study should be done
"Rangers Communications officer makes threats to attack those who speak out against the Club"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.
Disgraceful reply from Bennett. Money over access for disabled fans. Shocking.Steve Sinclair wheelchair user - 18 years a wheelchair user. What I would to do is to show how difficult it is to the disabled to access to enter the ground. I want to provide you with two spare wheelchairs and meet you at the Alibion and you can try it.
Will you accept this challenge?
Robertson - we have car parking facilities nearer ground than the Albion but most disabled fans don’t like them as traduce form there clears more slowly.
John Bennet - spent time with wheelchair user - he articulated the problems. We have example of resource allocation. Blue Sky Lounge for instance - giving access cuts revenue but we are taking up the challenge. People tasked to bring back menahiful plans.
Thanks MarkMeeting now closed.
100% incorrect mate. Standing improves the atmosphere. Every single game where propel stand the atmosphere is better!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.
Thats not what he said if you look at the full answerDisgraceful reply from Bennett. Money over access for disabled fans. Shocking.
First things first the only guys that try and create a bit of atmosphere needs to get moved into the middle of the BF.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.
And this is why Scottish football is fucked.Mark Campbell - size and loyalty of fan base is huge - but accounts talk about Scottish football undersold and undervalued what plans do club have to change this.
Robertson - I get hard time at SPFL board meetings but we need help - look at what we have done for the European coefficient and sponsorships would be good with better governance. Until then Rangers taking reposnisblitu and get ahead with making Rangwrs the best they can be.
They can do both at the same time?I sit in the Club Deck and feel ashamed and embarrassed when I look down and see wheelchair users with no cover in inclement weather.
It needs addressed immediately and before tackling any safe standing issues.
It would have been an extremely difficult target to achieve had we already been at the maximum capacity of engaging with partners and retail for example. It's not so difficult when in the position we have been.I have no idea how Bisgrove expects to effectively double our commercial income in one year. Sounds like an extremely difficult target to meet, and I doubt he’ll be able to.
Right enough aye, we’ve never had directors wing it at an AGM before.You think he was winging it at our AGM, jeezo some people on here are mental.
That image sends shivers down my spine. What a dark place we were in. Been said countless times but I am going to say it again. Thank you Dave King and the 3 bears.Looks a lot better than a gazebo on the pitch that's for sure.
In fairness most of that is already the case (in relation to standing full game etc).I love our board, I’d rather them than Newcastle’s new owners, I couldn’t imagine us in safer hands.
It looks like 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
"Rangers Communications officer makes threats to attack those who speak out against the Club"
Coming to a tabloid near you soon.
Celtic did it, why can’t we? For the greater good a few folk being moved and still staying within the Broomloan wouldn’t be a disaster.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.
Get in there and get an interview with Gio.
Is this in regard to stadium capacity Increase?Douglas Park - will have at least a plan in place by this time next year.
That boy looks raging. “Who the %^*& are you taking a photy of?!”
Take That have fair let themselves go.
Only problem I can see having it in the Broomloan is if we get a big cup-tie and the Away team want the full allocation to which they are entitled - Hearts, Hibs, Dhims etc. As things stand, they'd, potentially, get the safe standing area as part of that.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
Most fans I know do, and I'd suggest most of the ones that don't haven't experienced it done properly in the likes of the German Bundesliga.I don’t think it’s a case that they don’t want it, I think it’s a case that not all fans want it.
Because make it big enough then people will move.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.
It could be a massive pr win as well as getting the support onside to help with funding and then enhancing the matchday experience.It's been said to them, on numerous occasions, that crowd funding could be an option. The potential for marketing content that could come from Safe Standing in BF would be unreal as well
Take our current revenue, invest it in Bitcoin. Viola!I have no idea how Bisgrove expects to effectively double our commercial income in one year. Sounds like an extremely difficult target to meet, and I doubt he’ll be able to.
He's been in the job a year or so, I expect he's got a handle what works and what doesn't - Smart guy.You think he was winging it at our AGM, jeezo some people on here are mental.
Seen him at Maribor a couple of seasons back.I've honestly never seen that Alan Harris weirdo at any European away
That has been a been a very positive AGM.
Some great news in there.
Yep.Because make it big enough then people will move.
I would and I know plenty more that would too.
The issue will be with the fans that will either need to move seat or stand.Most fans I know do, and I'd suggest most of the ones that don't haven't experienced it done properly in the likes of the German Bundesliga.
The matchday experience is awful in comparison.
We need a campaign all fans can get behind, my days of standing and singing all game are long in the past but I still 100% support a safe standing area for those who want it / are able to do it.If you’re in the Broomloan Front I urge you to join the Broomloan Collective to help campaign for fan issues such as Safe Standing.
Didn't read it like that. Think he was saying despite the drop in revenue we are trying to meet the challenges of improving access.Disgraceful reply from Bennett. Money over access for disabled fans. Shocking.
The majority do. He is lying about the poll. They didn’t release the results publically for a reason.I don’t think it’s a case that they don’t want it, I think it’s a case that not all fans want it.
