Read some of the comments for a laugh, it amazes me how people can choose to live right next to Ibrox and then complain about football fans, it's like moving above a pub and complaining about the noise
If you go into the planning portal of any council in the UK you will find the same two or three complaints for every application, light/noise/smell.
He was onstage, with the rest of the team, looking completely bemused.I must have been blootered as I can’t remember Gattuso in his white suit, as a matter of fact I was blootered
Would this have any effect on the plans?Public comments have now closed for New Edmiston House planning application. 8 objections and 1 in support have been received.
Been in the Paisley Gates yet?
Money maker more like. Watch your car mister.
Wouldn't be suprised if 9 out of 10 complaints are pure jealousy.If you go into the planning portal of any council in the UK you will find the same two or three complaints for every application, light/noise/smell.
When i submitted plans for my extension my next door neighbour wrote an essay to the council stating why the build should not go ahead making a huge issue about sunlight/shading etc, when i went down and sat with the planner she pulled out google earth photos showing that no matter what time of day it was no light would be lost to their garden, they were just pure vindictive.
Shortly after that they submitted plans and i had the option to raise complaints but being a fair minded person realising the build would not affect me in any way shape or form i never.
Interesting times in that close!!!FFS, just had a look at one of the objections, there's nothing like assuming people take Cocaine !
I stay across from Edmiston house (less than 50m away). I have stayed there for approx 20 years & during that time, the disturbance due to fans on match days has continually got worse. When I first moved to my current address, police officers stood just outside Edmiston House. However, there is very little police presence there now, which has resulted in numbers of fans gathering (particularly before a game) there, drinking alcohol, taking which i assume is cocaine & smoking cannabis before the game
Great to see . Now is a great time to make improvements with no fans having to be considered on matchday . I hope the rest of the panelling will also be complete on the sides of the Copland and broomie , they’ve done half each surely now is the time to do the rest .
A full week to demolish that building and that's as far as they've got?
Pubs are closed as well.
Much you wanting for your house mate?!"I accept Glasgow Rangers have the right to develop their estate. However, it is disheartening that they opted not to consult the local community and residents prior to making this formal application.Through early engagement with the community, proposals could have been developed that servethe best interests of all affected parties."
This comment sums up the state of our communities nowadays - I'm part of the Ibrox and Cessnock Community Council and I was involved in a focus group for the club's anniversary plans late last year. There has been plenty of engagement, but that engagement is skewed towards those who are also engaged with the community.
It genuinely winds me up some of these comments, few of these folk are actually participating in making the area around the stadium nicer. I've lived around here for two and a half years and I'm yet to see any resident take a broom and a binbag and do something positive for the area.
Proof of Ibrox residency:
With respect to the new plans, I'm not sure what it'll do to my own view, from a selfish point of view I hope it'll be lower but honestly it's the club's property, and if the council see fit to letting them build something taller then I can accept that because overall I really think having more things that people round here can actually use can only be a good thing.
You say you're part of the Ibrox and Cessnock community council, would you be willing to tell us all and expand on what Stephen Doran was pulled up for by other members of same community council regarding language he used when speaking about Rangers and i believe one of the local community cops also had something to say about it, this was at an official meeting and the minutes for it were never released."I accept Glasgow Rangers have the right to develop their estate.

Who has the banners ?Delighted the tacky Icons of Ibrox banner is now no more. Was good when it first went up but it was an eyesore recently.
Who has the banners ?
That was before my time. I can say it was stuff like the fan zone fiasco that contributed to my wanting to join (as well as wanting to do some good in the area).You say you're part of the Ibrox and Cessnock community council, would you be willing to tell us all and expand on what Stephen Doran was pulled up for by other members of same community council regarding language he used when speaking about Rangers and i believe one of the local community cops also had something to say about it, this was at an official meeting and the minutes for it were never released.
How long have you been on it ?That was before my time. I can say it was stuff like the fan zone fiasco that contributed to my wanting to join (as well as wanting to do some good in the area).
He is not a Rangers fan, A new building there will be good for the whole area Rangers have people that clean the area after every game and have portaloos leading up to the ground.
Most of the problems in that area are the homeless
Units that are situated in Copland Road

I went to the first meeting about a year ago and just recently became a member. It's mostly long monologues around parking, rubbish and planning permission in that order.How long have you been on it ?
Brought up most of my life in Kinning park and Ibrox, parking has always been a problem and never understood why people buy houses beside a football stadium then complain about something that's been problematic for decades. They should be more concerned by the general upkeep of the area especially around the Cessnock area right now,pretty disgraceful the state of it by those who live there.I went to the first meeting about a year ago and just recently became a member.

There's definitely some bitterness when it comes to that period, a lot of them tend to choose their words a bit more carefully.
UPDATE: I’ve found these aerial images showing the progress of demolition.
Thought it might have all been torn down by now.
Looks like big steel beamsAye what’s the hold up? Fs
Still got memories of when the 'club shop' was window in the building.I have no sentimental memories of the building.
Only old enough to remember collecting some tickets from it, and by that point, it felt like a dump.
New set up looks great.
Thanks for taking the time to record this
How do you manage to always be first to break news, do you work for the club?
Asbestos was totally removed months ago, demolition contractors are taking their time due to the proximity of the listed main stand etc.Very, very slow progress to be honest . Must be reasons but I expected it to be fully gone by now . Perhaps asbestos
Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up smoking.Your wife had a few good night's with Christian??
I don’t work for the club, I’m just very passionate about it.

Nothing to do with the main stand, there is a procedure the demolition companies must follow, it is all about health and safety, just takes time.Asbestos was totally removed months ago, demolition contractors are taking their time due to the proximity of the listed main stand etc.
