Combined Ibrox Improvements Thread

[rangers_champions]

Someone mentioned the blue track being dug up and also large hole dug in front of dug out areas. Could we sink dug outs into ground and giv the seats behind a better view?

 

[Bluebrox]

Its not a hybrid pitch. It was delayed a year. Its the usual coral the top off and reseeding job.

I've read so much on this with contradicting stories. Is this a fact mate??

That's what I mean mate. So many different bits of info mate I think we are laying a hybrid one, based in what King said last year. But several saying it has been delayed a year etc.

 

[Jose Calypso]

There’s a lot of work going on around the changing rooms area. Along the corridors and also the kit room.

 

[Blue Goose]

There's no hybrid this year. Grass seed only.

That’s for the new undersoil heating pipes they are getting laid under the track ready for the hybrid pitch getting installed next season and that’s when the new pipes get laid under the pitch.

Yep. The manager has requested these changes.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Coming along nicely

 

[theryesider]

How I miss that first game of the season when you clap your eyes on a full grass covered pitch, always gave you goosebumps.
Ahh the memories.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

The running track relaid would make the absolute world of difference

Cheers bud, everything looking good

 

[GourockBlue50]

Have we ordered the 4 million quid disco lights yet?

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Great to hear the interior is getting a revamp, badly needed.

That'll be so we can syphon off the water form the Church!

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

So we're growing Fibres now?

We should ask Celtic's advice. They have been growing fibbers since 1888.

 

[Cutty/Young]

Can people stop claiming it's a hybrid pitch,It's a grass pitch.

Was told last week the track was being dug up and replaced with asphalt rather than the astroturf,will be majory disapointed if that is the case as the track round the pitch would look much better with the blue astroturf.

Asphalt?

Surely no

 

[Coop]

Asphalt?

Surely no

You can get blue Asphalt.

 

[remembertheepoch]

it was already blue asphalt or some sort of really tough rubber from my memory of playing on the pitch a few years back and having to retrieve the ball from the stand

 

[5*RFC]

Noticed the "Family stand" writing is gone

 

[RangersEasyOK]

Noticed the "Family stand" writing is gone

Been down for a while now, one inside the stadium anyway

Ah right, living in Inverness means i don't get to make it down as often as I'd like. Looks massively better.

 

[Cutty/Young]

Couple of pics

 

[Dempster]

Couple of pics

Is that still being dug out mate ? What are we getting as a track I was hoping for similar to filbert street

Certainly hope it’s not asphalt , I know it’s a bit softer than concrete or tarmac but I can’t see it looking near what we want it to look like as you say

 

[Necro]

I know this is very minor but I'd love for us to get new seats, badly need them.

 

[uaerangers]

Looks great.......well, not great at the minute, but great to see work being done.
As an armchair overseas bear, I always notice the camera shots we see of our manager looking not so good as the trackside looks a bit grubby. Delighted to see this being replaced and upgraded. Hopefully the advertising boards behind the electronic advertising boards can be removed and just be painted / wrapped the same color of blue as the track and seats, enhancing the “blue-ness” of our stadium.

 

[Dempster]

I know this is very minor but I'd love for us to get new seats, badly need them.

I really see that as one of the last things to be done . I also think it would be nice when it is done to incorporate some red , black and white seats as well to brighten it up a bit .

 

[Dempster]

You can get blue Asphalt.

It’s a very dull blue called “ midblue” you can get and , whilst not terrible, isn’t exactly what we’d hope for in terms of finish and effect . Almost like a Dundee blue but weaker .

 

[Gramps1]

Never mind the pitch what’s the bogs like at BF2???

 

[Mr Mojo risin']

Nonesense, one of our admin started that and was slapped down by Mr Dingwall!

do you think i meant an actual holiday?

For the record, this is Filbert Street:

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

wheres the blue cairpit?

 

[Captain_Buns]

Who is SHE

Ibrox of course

 

[Deleted member 125]

Ibrox of course

Most of her is only 40 years old. She's not an old lady she's a MILF

 

[uaerangers]

Any updates on the pitch and trackside?
Oh how the close season makes the small things all the more important......cant wait for the players to get back into pre season and we can talk about the real fitba again!

 

[uaerangers]

Posted something similar on another thread, about being desperate for the real fitba to start again as you find yourself desperate for any kind of rangers related news, but is there any updates on the stadium refurb? The pictures by the RFC Youth Development / Pools guy on his Twitter / RFC website felt like a few weeks ago now? Have any of the sides been completely finished?

 

[jackstar]

That's a blast from the past. Changing the valves in the telly then we progressed to vision hire.

Can well remember the TV repair man coming out to fix it,lol.

 

[klosrfc]

Not sure if its mentioned but anything will happen with the wee panels of glass for the main stand going up the stairs? Wonder if it'd look better replaced or modernised somehow with different glass.

The glass suits the grade b listed building that is the main stand. Agreed it's not modern looking but I think they tried to make it suite to the rest of the main stand and done a good job of it imo

 

[TPP]

Agree re catering comments, I’m not sure how much control we really have over it though?

 

[Crispy Bacon]

The Old Duchess will look stunning once this is all complete. Well done all involved.

The what!?

 

[Empire]

Is that yer good lady you are talking about?

 

[KA1960]

the Broxi bear image and Family Stand sign was binned earlier this year

Is the majority of the aforementioned work to be completed before the new season starts?

I would also like the broxi image and Family Stand sign on the side of the Broomloan binned.

 

[BWO]

the Broxi bear image and Family Stand sign was binned earlier this year

Does that mean we’ll be able to buy tickets online for that stand now? Previously you needed to buy a child’s ticket

 

[lumbear1872]

The what!?

The grand old lady of Edmiston dr...Ah forget it

 

[Gordy Boy]

Can't wait to see Ye Olde Red Brick Royal Duchess of Ibrox looking trim.

 

[buffalosoldier]

Her Grande Imperiale Majestie of the Govan Burugh will look simply the best when all of these works are finished.
