Smokers corner in the CoplandImage 4 really shows how much the new side panels flood the broomloan with light , compared to image 1 with the old panels still in the Copland .
Looks superb !!!!
Surely the bit under the new cladding needs cleaned? It’s a mess.
Agreed - looks soooo much better !Image 4 really shows how much the new side panels flood the broomloan with light , compared to image 1 with the old panels still in the Copland .

I agree some of the ones in the Broomloan have seen better days.I know this is very minor but I'd love for us to get new seats, badly need them.
Maybe have a Rangers FC made out ofI really see that as one of the last things to be done . I also think it would be nice when it is done to incorporate some red , black and white seats as well to brighten it up a bit .
Someone said there are plans to Karcher it once all the panels are done . It’s being Karchered last , can’t mind the reason the guy gave .
There's no doubt the new sheets look better, although I have said before there are many other specifications of cladding out there that would have looked better than simple corrugated sheets, even going with an opaque sheet would mean you don't see the secondary steel work coming through.
Still an improvement none the less.
Images not working for me eitherI can’t !
Welsh red brick no lessCan't wait to see Ye Olde Red Brick Royal Duchess of Ibrox looking trim.
Is that not like saying I dysoned the carpet the day?

Have you maybe tried clicking the image mateImages not working for me either
This works for me now! Thanks for the tip. It was coming up ‘image was removed’ however, tap on it and it appears. Ibrox looking glorious-thanks for posting.Tap the image and they open
Well spotted! Looks bloomin' fantastic!Image 4 really shows how much the new side panels flood the broomloan with light , compared to image 1 with the old panels still in the Copland .

I lay the rubber crumb and it gets layed on self draing asphalt, so hoefully the asphalt is only base coat.
Is that not like saying I dysoned the carpet the day?
Filbert street is lovely and the trackside blends in really well with the rest of the stadium and looks classy. What they dug up was asphalt with a layer of rubber stuff on top stuck to the asphalt,so would imagine the track will be replaced like for like as it's very hard wearing and lasts for years.Is that still being dug out mate ? What are we getting as a track I was hoping for similar to filbert street
Certainly hope it’s not asphalt , I know it’s a bit softer than concrete or tarmac but I can’t see it looking near what we want it to look like as you say
Broomloan outside has been completed,Inside panels are still there and work next starts on the Copland side,re-cladding of the Copland roof is ongoing and LED lighting being fitted.
I also think the interior cladding of the sides of the Broomloan and Copland are being done in stages,so might not be completed for a while yet and the Copland interior panels couldn't be done anyway until the roof work is completed,It took them over two weeks just to do half of the Broomloan exterior cladding.
Slowly but surely getting there bit by bit.

From one of the pictures i posted you can see they stopped just short of the end of the main stand at the Broomloan end and i'm unsure if they just stopped for the day or that is where the digging will stop,can't see it though as that is also part of the track with the blue rubber material,most if not all of the other 3 sides of the track has now been dug up and levelled in preparation to lay the new stuff.
I can see why the club may have decided to just replace like for like as it it more or less maintenance free and last's for years and over time cheaper than perhaps doing the ground work and replacing astroturf every few years,but the club may look at it as it's simply a track round the pitch that serves just one purpose of people walking on it.
Personally I would have liked to see the whole track done similar to Filbert street with the astroturf in blue as i think it would look smashing at Ibrox.
Sometimes with things like this i wish those running the club would integrate with the support on what we would like to see done as is the example of the relaying of the track,after all it's our club also and many of us are also shareholders.
The track will look nice when it's down,but in my opinion it's old tech and just saving money by not replacing it with modern astroturf which is available in a nice blue,but if the club is saving money from this and the money they are saving is being spent on doing other things around the stadium and improving it,I'm happy with that.
Apparently so.Cheers for info.
Any idea what we are replacing the blue carpet track with around the park?
Like for like?
End of the day it's a track around the pitch and nothing else,absolutely no point spending loads of money on something that would be nothing more than nicer to look at but served no purpose other than that.Great post m8 seems we can forget about filbert street or our crest on the track either .
I suppose maybe the board decided it’s unnecessary extra cost .
Agreed. This is a key point and something where I feel this group of directors have a lot of improvement to make.Filbert street is lovely and the trackside blends in really well with the rest of the stadium and looks classy.

Cheers op , ive been champing at the bit to see the inner sanctum of heaven again, canny wait till we are pumping the tims and the place is rocking again
i think the first photo is the top of the stands on the inside being replaced and strengthened to avoid what happened a couple of seasons ago when a section of the govan front had to be removed at half time due to safety issues.
Also note the blue pitch bordering has been removed, I didn’t get a photo but it had been lifted right up into the tunnel and beyond.
It was rightly or WRONGLY known as the ce***c end,when it was the old terracing. this seemed to change when it became all seated,and became the BroomloanI'm old and grumpy and I hate celtc and I live in Canada but I remember watching the spaces in the celtc end when we were winning and they were fighting with each other. I still call it the celtc end and the Copeland Road end, the RANGERS end. So, sue me you young punks.
