Combined Ibrox Improvements Thread

[hurricane_jack]

Taken tonight. When the narrow panel along the back of the stand is done and the concrete is cleaned it will be looking good. Copland not done yet.

Is the concrete parts due to be cleaned this summer? Long overdue.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

The Old Duchess will look stunning once this is all complete. Well done all involved.

Hope so looking a bit weathered. A wee bit of grey masonry paint would look lovely.

 

[Sonny]

Is the majority of the aforementioned work to be completed before the new season starts?

I would also like the broxi image and Family Stand sign on the side of the Broomloan binned.

 

[PunkScott]

I personally dislike Ibrox being called names like old lady , old duchess and so on

It’s Ibrox

Me too, unless a billionaire Arab wants to rename it.

And the tacky banners taken down on the back of the stand. You can see them on post 252

Apologies, no pictures but the new pitch was looking good tonight.

Looks like they have completed the hybrid fibre installation ready for seeding.

Loads of work going on within the Copland replacing the roof panels and the blue track ripped up in loads of places.

Once this all come together its going look superb for the new season.

Thought the hybrid pitch was put back a year?

 

[Diego Maradona]

I thought we delayed the hybrid for a season? Is it not just grass?

 

[Papasmurf]

Replace it. Nothing wrong with it, if it was replaced.

 

[DJ Blue]

Put in a Orange/Purple one.

 

[Dempster]

Replace it. Nothing wrong with it, if it was replaced.

Agreed except do the blue again with our crest on it like they have at filbert street and looks immense

 

[InTheKnow]

I was speaking to lads who were up from Sheffield working on both Ibrox and the monkey house so it must have been installed this close season.

 

[LoganBear]

Heard this also.

[CooperShoots]

From Saturday night, indeed looking very good

 

[Blue horizon]

A New Hybrid Pitch, Amazing !
I remember hearing that we were to be getting one of these and a BIG Well Done to ground-staff as our grass Pitch was mostly Always FAB Looking.
(don't remember reading that this was put back for a season however ?)
Anyway, it'll be Fantastic for Our style of play for sure.

 

[Necro]

Someone on twitter said the running track is being redone!

Few bears on here have also confirmed.

The Astro turf in front of the Main stand needs to go.

 

[Del]

Left the phone in the car.

I hope so Necro cos the one we have/had looks So Tired and has a massive loss of colour.

Could have snuck this into the Stadium Upgrades thread bud. No pic or not

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

She is going to look beautiful once again.

Can’t wait until it’s all been done.

 

[Carson’s chosen few]

Who is SHE

 

[Dempster]

Doesn’t show the crests but look how blue the track is . The crests on it look phenomenal I’ll keep searching bud

 

[Del]

Never heard that they had delayed by a year. Apologies if its natural grass that's planted.

That said, I would be amazed if they lifted the surface that ended the season to plant exactly the same again. It was in great condition close up in May.

The pitch close up tonight looked exactly as the below pic of Anfield (hybrid installation) in perfect rows.

 

[Del]

Few bears on here have also confirmed.

100% certain. Large areas of the track have already been removed.

 

[sammysun]

Everything in its own time, the place will get back to its best as we return to our place in the sun?

Bloody well said sammysun

 

[Dempster]

Filbert street again , look how blue it is trackside . I hope we have asked the same company to do it . The new crests are in front of the dugouts but not in this, but I can’t find any pics . Our crest would look amazing

 

[Kinbo]

I don’t have OCD but the Rangers FC above the Govan stand annoys me

 

[Bob Agg]

[Jjbscotty]

We should be going for the guys that done tynecastle pitch, that has been a standout all season.

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

It’s getting replaced I’ve seen the pictures.

 

[Ger572]

The Rangers crest embossed within the newly laid area around the pitch would top it off!

Great seeing our stadium being restored to its rightful glory.

So we're growing Fibres now?

Please don't say it!!!!!

 

[Mr Mojo risin']

Please don't say it!!!!!

if he does he should get a holiday

 

[PrideOfGovanLoyal]

We really need to get new seats installed. Old ones look completely knackered & discoloured.

 

[Teddy bear]

So we're growing Fibres now?

The hybrid pitch is a mixture of artificial grass and real grass, so it still needs to grow

 

[Del]

You do know what hybrid means?
