I would love an increase but I don't know if 6000 would be required in all honesty and is it going to cost a fortune is it something the club can affordJust about to post this lol. Any increase would be good. Wish we could get blood safe standing as well!
Excellent news I'm all for it as long as my club are financially secure I always wanted rid of the big screens as they are horrendous imo but something that can be looked at in the future I'm sure I'd settle for even making them more modernThe way I understand it is they are looking at various options, the preferred option of replacing screens will be massive in terms of outlay so all options are being looked at
This is potentially the most cost effective way of doing it with immediate uplift in season tickets & minimal disruption
They have already drilled down to see how far it can go etc as they begin studies etc - this was done very recently
Yeh it’s like taking out a mortgage. It’s the smartest thing Septic did in the 90s as it set them up financially.Cost,
6000 seats x £500 (average season ticket) x 10 years is £30 million.
Change average season ticket to £400 is £24 million.
Don't forget sold out Europa League games which could be champions League/qualifiers and this brings in £10 to £12 million extra over 10 years making it £36 to £42 million or once paid off £3.6 to £4.2 million extra a season for additional seats.
For me 55k is enough.We could sell that no bother imo and sell out most weeks.When Rangers played Hibs at Christmas time in the championship under Warburton I remember reading the amount of traffic online and by phone looking for tickets that we could've had 80k at the game.I would love an increase but I don't know if 6000 would be required in all honesty and is it going to cost a fortune is it something the club can afford
6000 seats? The pitch would need to be lowered to the earth’s core to add that many surely
That and lowering pitch are by far the cheapest options for more seats.Was there not talk of also bringing the front sections of the Copland/Broomloan Rear forward so that it overhangs the section in front?

We’ll lower 5/6ths of the pitch and increase it by 5k thenFor me 55k is enough.We could sell that no bother imo and sell out most weeks.When Rangers played Hibs at Christmas time in the championship under Warburton I remember reading the amount of traffic online and by phone looking for tickets that we could've had 80k at the game.
David Murray really made a mess of it when he opted for screens instead of seats when building the corners.
For a captain of industry he really was a dick.
With today's available technology and the preponderance of mobile phones and tablets, and on demand replay system would be huge.Excellent news I'm all for it as long as my club are financially secure I always wanted rid of the big screens as they are horrendous imo but something that can be looked at in the future I'm sure I'd settle for even making them more modern
His thinking that we could make more money from screens through beambacks and concerts is laughable.Can think of 1 concert Bon Jovi late 00s and beambacks were done within a season or 2 as soon as sky started showing more or less all our away games.His personal architect was a dick, made a complete mess of the enclosures too
I’ve got images of the two options being considered.
One with the screens removed and partial infill of seats in their place with the pitch being lowered. (Short term option)
The other is a full infill where the screens (long term option) are and it looks amazing!
Dont know how to post pics though
I always wonder about this?I was under the impression we could do this due to the water table but suppose that’s the point of the study

And completely fecked us long term David Murray will be remembered as a self serving leech by me.A dick that brought you some of the best times as a Rangers fan.
Biggest club in UK when he bought us.We were well on the way to those times before he arrived and we also funded it.
I'd go further than calling him a dick.
He's the 3rd worst thing to happen to our club after the two disasters
6000 new seats is great news!
This would be awesomeWould love to know how they're planning on supporting that huge black beam on the roofs if they taken the end columns away.
Think removing the screens is too financially challenging by the looks of itwould it be feasible if the govan east and west corners were filled to have screens hanging from the top of the broomloan and copland stands? obviously not the large square ones we have but shorter and wider?
How’d you manage to get them?
The corners filled is the best option and only option for me, the other option looks quite ridiculousI’ve got images of the two options being considered.
