They have only done one panel on the outside. So you can still see the discoloured inside ones. So difficult to tell.

It’s a similar colour to the roof. So I’m sure it will be a great improvement. The concrete at the bottom of the cladding is awful though. Hopefully that will be blasted

For the future mate:

If you’re looking for a ‘simple’ method that works on PC, tablet and mobile then try this.

Go to https://postimages.org/ and leave it as the default 'do not resize my image' in the first box (though you can select something else if you want it bigger/smaller).

Leave the default ‘no expiration' in the second box.

Click on the 'Choose Image' button to select your image to upload and let the website upload the image.

Once it is uploaded click on the small icon to the right of the ‘hotlink for forums’ row and it will copy the relevant link. Occasionally, clicking on the Hotlink for Forums doesn't work, if that happens simply go to the adjacent box and select the text for the link and then copy and paste it.

Paste your link into the Quick Reply box.

You can then click on the ‘More Options’ button below the Quick Reply box and then preview your post so you can see it’s going to work before you commit your post to the forum.

About time, hopefully that concrete below it will be getting hosed and painted too

Thanks for posting

I hope so ...but I'd have probably pressure washed it before putting up the nice new cladding..

What is the Ronson patter I missed FF that week?

 

[Manbearpig]

So many cladding specs out there to choose from, not the one I would have went for. An improvement none the less

It's our take on ronseal, it does what it says on the tin after a few posters said it. As for being missing, nae bother water off a dugs back mate.

Ah, haha thank you.

Agreed - an absolute eyesore.

Orange cherry picker as well, nice

I bet those bigoted scumbags are eating oranges, drinking orange juice and snacking on orange clubs

 

[Rangers_2001]

They did the overcladding on the Broomloan and the Copland a few weeks ago. Not sure if they did it for the SJ as I sit there so can’t see it.

Main stand roof still needs a good wash.

 

[GEODGC]

This pleases me greatly. I feckin detest that horrible yellow looking crap it’s replacing, It has been assaulting my eyes for years.

Are they using no nails to keep it in place ?

That’s some hassle to post a picture

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Got to say looks 100 times better already. M sure some stone cleaning will be involved as well. Will look the business when finished

 

[Papasmurf]

I'm not sure. I never asked them. I would imagine not.

 

[Dempster]

Exactly . Surely blast it with the old stuff up ? Now they’ll be blasting it onto the new panels .

 

[Arminius]

Wow. That’s easier.

That is looking fabulous.

The general improvement across every single aspect of our club since DK and T3B's came in is astonishing.

We are finally back in the hands of capable, business bears.

For the first time since the early 80's, I finally know for sure that our club is back in the hands of genuine Rangers men.

 

[Bluebrox]

Couple of squirts of Gorrilla Glue and it's job done.

Agree with this-seems very odd to improve those horrible yellow stained sheets, and leave the brown stained concrete blocks. Hopefully this will be getting replaced or cladded over too as the new stuff I’m sure will make it appear even dirtier by contrast.

The ridged concrete blocks would clean up nicely with nothing more than a high pressure water jet.

Someone said it instead of ronseal one time and it stuck. I was the same as you for a while and assumed everyone saying it was a moron.

 

[It Is Old But Beautiful]

Thank god, honestly was an eyesore. Hopefully they replace some of the seats and could even have some of the seats a different colour that could say Rangers or something, makes the rest of Ibrox more interesting.

 

[It Is Old But Beautiful]

The board’s been terrific and Dave King is keeping his promise of improving Ibrox. New score screens are being installed, £3 million new roof, new cladding for the Copland and Broomloan.

 

[It Is Old But Beautiful]

Is there any way of improving the concrete? It looks worse than the cladding.
