Behind the scenes in the Ibrox press box for the Royal Antwerp game

A wee video with a slightly breathless me after vaulting up the stairs!

 

[pandager1]

Thanks for sharing Mark, I have to say, I'm very envious of you and David this season.

 

[Barry]

Well that makes me sad and jealous in equal measure.

 

[RoyalBlue1]

Nice wee look behind the scenes Mark.
I think our definitions of vaulting are slightly different!

 

[Truckerman]

Thanks for that, oh how I miss Ibrox.

Thanks mark
I really enjoyed that as a season ticket holder in the main stand

 

[Wishbone]

Interesting insight into the way the media cover the games.

 

[cooprfc]

Sad viewing for me. That's the concourse and stairs that I haven't walked up in a year!

Good video though.

 

[nzb]

Those stair risers need a lick of paint

 

[Coza]

Mate you need to get into the lounge Running thread and speak to @MearnsUnionist for a training plan!

Thought Ben Dover or Ron Jeremy was going to show up with all that heavy breathing going on.

 

[The Gooner]

You sound a bit out of puff going up these stairs mate.

 

[Tommy48]

Where do or did the BBC sit.

 

[Lainey Love]

I like these “behind the scenes” clips, doesn’t mean I’m not envious

 

[Aragorn]

Enjoyed that...lets hope Ibrox is soon packed again.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

If we win the league at home and you’ve not snuck in a half bottle and took an eccie FF won’t be happy

 

[Leopold]

Those stair risers need a lick of paint

It’s the old crest at the start of the video too. Be work done in the close season I think.

 

[Bluedell]

That's how I get to my seat. I sit further down from where you were sitting, Mark.

An eccie

 

[Bouncebackability]

Seeing those stairs

 

[muz73]

Great stuff!

Thanks.

 

[Tino_Col]

Lucky bastard. One of the few watching a historic season live. Enjoy!

Good wee video.

 

[ScottP]

Great video Mark, thanks for sharing that. As a ST holder right beside the Directors Box, great to get that view again of where you sit. Missed it this year!

 

[Disco Deejay]

Should we start a crowdfunder to get a chairlift installed at Ibrox for @mdingwall ?

Seriously, cheers for the video. Must be a surreal experience.

 

[DavidSmith]

Very interesting, cheers

 

[Bluewelly]

Very interesting,thanks Mark.

 

[Tummi]

I sit a few rows in front (MRE row A) of where the press box is set up, hit me right in the feels

 

[Allybear]

Rushing up the club deck last minute before kick off, I can guarantee that will turn your legs to mush.

 

[archimedes]

No sign of Jordan Campbell?

 

[RWL12]

How many catering areas are open, and is it just coffee and bovril?

 

[BlueBritain]

Mate you need to get into the lounge Running thread and speak to @MearnsUnionist for a training plan!

Thought Ben Dover or Ron Jeremy was going to show up with all that heavy breathing going on.

What's the opposite of being aroused??

That's how I felt.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

An eccie

I’ll grow up one day but certainly not this next few weeks

 

[mdingwall]

How many catering areas are open, and is it just coffee and bovril?

Nowt - we bring our own.

 

[alexg123]

Well that's my morning exercise for the day , I'm out of puff as well now Mark but thanks for another wee tour of Ibrox .

A wee video with a slightly breathless me after vaulting up the stairs!

Thanks Mark. Right at the start I was waiting for "awright doll, wit ye wearin'? ah shite wrong video"

Even if were back in, I'd be envious of that view. Not the trundle up the stairs though!

 

[Beswgers]

@mdingwall - Do you, David and Bob have to retain your decorum while you're reporting, or are you able to celebrate a bit after each goal!?

 

[Felixrfc]

Great video.

Love seeing behind the scenes stuff like this.

 

[mdingwall]

@mdingwall - Do you, David and Bob have to retain your decorum while you're reporting, or are you able to celebrate a bit after each goal!?

We maintain the press box as a neutral working environment at all times. :shh:

 

[Dalmore bear]

You mentioned it in the video mark about hearing the players.
On that who is the most vocal in the team, is magregor giving the centre back peleters.
Also from the management team, do you hear them, as on tv you dont see gerrard losing the plot that often.
Cheers

 

[GEODGC]

Nice wee insight there, thanks for sharing.
The heavy breathing was slightly unsettling though. I once received a similar phone call from a man asking me what colour of pants I was wearing.

 

[nzb]

Nowt - we bring our own.

Do you have a tartan flask?

 

[gersandproud]

I can't pretend I don't feel pretty sad watching that
I know it's the reality of the situation & we've just got to get on with it -
& to be fair the team, management, backroom & grounds staff have responded to all of this really well - thanks guys

I'm also left wondering what the noise, atmosphere & general scenes are going to be like - when a full Ibrox happens again
The decibels alone are surely going to be off the scale

Hope it happens soon

 

[Barca Bear]

I like how you showed the steward at the beginning that carried you up to the first level.

 

[TCWNS1872]

Cheers Mark.

 

[billgers]

good viewing

 

[imvaison]

Interesting; thanks for that insight.

 

[O.K. Bear]

Envy is tipping through me right now.

 

[mdingwall]

Do you have a tartan flask?

I leave such vulgarity to Mr Edgar.

 

[Baloo72]

Bob normally sits just in front of me, on the gantry

God I miss it

 

[sheabo]

Bit creepy at the start. Was kind of like the bit in Silence of the Lambs when the serial killer is stalking Clarice in the hoose.

Can you tell I'm just jealous?

Great insight into the current matchday experience.

 

[bluetonic]

A lot of heavy breathing going on, was it those stairs?
