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!

Typo, surely?

Vomiting?

Great wee insight, thanks for posting.

 

[Brant Hurley]

I-glasses (eye glasses). Brilliant!
Buzzin' looking around the ground and over to my seat in the SJR. Thanks, Mark.

Is it still the roundabout at Broomloan Road.

 

[Cutiecarol]

Enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing

 

[Farley1968]

Thanks for posting Mark, great to see this insight.
I remember once hearing Mr McIlroy hadn't missed a match since 1968? is that still the case?

I'm almost embarrassed at how loudly I guffawed at "Ipad, Iphone, Eye Glasses"

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

I can’t imagine Mark on a Gary.

Outside on the roundabout

 

[Montyplums]

Thanks for that Mark - it's great to see the inside of Ibrox - I can't wait until we're all back there supporting the Scottish Champions

 

[Gunnerger]

Big roundabout outside is their spot mate

 

[MFM_Bear]

Can't wait to get back into that stand.

It's fair to say it needs a power wash and a lick of paint.

 

[Positively Blue]

Great video, and great game you got to see.
Thanks Mark!

 

[Boldvale]

First 30 seconds I thought I'd stumbled onto a porno.

 

[mdingwall]

Thanks for posting Mark, great to see this insight.

Until this season - he had not missed a first team competitive match since Sporting Lisbon away in the ECWC-winning season.

 

[Clicker]

So glad I watched that, gave me another look at the seats my late father and I had from 1991.

 

[Grampian Bear]

Thanks for the insight Mark good to see what goes on behind the scenes and the level of the professionalism displayed by yourself and Mr Edgar.

Although I thought they might've opened up the food kiosk just for you alone !

Starts out like a horror film but great stuff!

Don't want to be overly negative but those steps sure could use a coat of paint! Seems like things like that would be slowly taken care of since fans are verboten.

 

[Bearinabluehose]

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

I was going to say the same the image of suck vaulting in my mind's eye does not compute with the greatest respect to you Mr suck!

I was in the old press box a few times in the mid 80s It was Alastair Hood who gave out the press passes in those days

 

[wakerickman]

Thanks for that Mark!

 

[Coisty09]

Thanks Mark. More videos like that would be wonderful when you get the opportunity.

Was expecting to hear Crockers voice at the start after that bout of wheezing - no offence

 

[cm72]

Jammy bar steward!

Outside on the round about

 

[Eight ball]

[Dalai Lammers]

Lovely to see Mark.

Thanks

I always thought you were Glaswegian!

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Thanks, just seeing the inside of the Main Stand was delightful, haven't been in there for a very long time, that long ago I can't even remember when.

 

[Everyone knows his name.]

Brilliant and thanks.

 

[Rangerista]

Glad to see Robert McElroy hale and hearty, would have loved a blast of "Rangers Historian!".

All those vaults over the vaulting horse for the display team in the BB finally paying off for you then Mark ?

Lucky your vantage point wasn't in the Club Deck then

Thanks for posting

 

[Kilwinning74]

hopefully not long till we are back. David the Dirrans boy has done alright

 

[tottie beck]

“Vaulting” up the stairs?

If you say so chief...

Not that I could do better. The missus just said “that sounds like you”

 

[Bathbear]

Those stair risers need a lick of paint

Sanded down, primed and a lick of paint!!!

Hope that you had an inhaler with you Bigyin as you sounded cattled after climbing the stairs

 

[Ibroxcw]

Good to see DE has recovered from the press conference on Wednesday, I thought he might still be lying in the fetal position after Mr Gerrard gave him the death glare

Until the Club Deck was added the press box was actually in the roof of the Main Stand - until the early 60s this was a castellated structure but then they took the castellation away. After the Club Deck was built the press box was roughly where the "UEFA" temp one is but slightly to the left before they built on the press gantry in front of the stand.

 

[Shamrock hand and crown]

Wee things like this are just what we need as a support. Keep up the goodwork that yourself and Mr Edgar do on matchday it’s these little insights that cheer us up.

 

[Puggy]

You sound out of puff big man, old age creeping in
Great video thanks for sharing.
