Some folk need to get a grip. Michael provides fans with better update than the club. Why do our own fans feel the need to turn on him and abuse him. We have enough enemies without turning on our own fans.

And as usual we have heard absolutely nothing. The board has zero appetite for safe standing, lowering the pitch, replacing the screens

Or are they afraid of fan protests disrupting the event....

At least he is doing something to inform us , what are you doing.
Could we make EH bigger to accommodate events like Player of the Year? What a shit show that is!!

I would imagine the size increase to host such an event wouldnt make financial sense.
The venue was sized for a specific music event market that Glasgow lacks at the moment, assume this is where they see the venue making money outwith matchdays longterm which is vital to its success.
I thought it said that all future club events would be held in it, my mistake.

I thought the purpose of EH was that it would host all club events including the player of the year awards.
Are the club now admitting it’s not been built big enough to accommodate things

They may have said that which is poor communication.
The function space in EH is approx 470m2, the ballroom at Hilton is 1054m2 for 900.
There’s not many other (if any) club functions that would require that type of capacity. Outsourcing for a yearly event when probably all others can be held at EH probably makes financial sense.
It wouldn’t just be the additional event area that would require to be increase, all toilets, kitchen and staff areas would also need to be increased. Plus parking which is being used as a new strategy allowing us to sell part of the Albion as previously it wasn’t included in our required numbers.
Still, if rangers did say all club functions then that was a bit stupid on their part.

Its not too small to host our own events. We have hosted quite a few and will continue to do so.
For POTY do it needs a bigger space due to the number of people attending.
It would have been stupid to design a space for a once a year event and all the additional cost the comes with it.
It can hold 500 people for a seated event but table spacing is tighter

Hopefully the entire stadium surround gets done like that!

Looks excellent
the whole of Ibrox would be brought up if the rest of the footprint was done as well. Complete hazard especially at night

As you mentioned the surrounded areas of stadium would look far better with same monoblock

Wonder how much it’d cost to do the whole area

Think they are getting that seat restoration according to that seafarer on twitter. Small things like that make the stadium look better.
It did wonders for the Stadium of Light in Sunderland a few seasons ago, as well as Stoke City's stadium IIRC

No chance. You could mono block the whole surrounds for 500k Id say

Suppose it depends how big an area you cover but its a big footprint

From what I can see Sunderland replaced 10,000 seats and got supporters to help. They never blow torched any seats

Think its heat restoration on the seats that makes them look new. No idea of cost mate

Degrades the seats long term though.
More of a temporary fix to improve aesthetics.

Dont think they heat the seats tbh, they recoat them somehow.

The current 50,987 capacity of Ibrox will be rising to over 51,500!
"This significant investment will take the number of spaces for wheelchair users to 270, while 700 general access seats will also be added. Upon completion, the capacity of Ibrox will be in excess of 51,500.
The board have also reaffirmed their intention to improve facilities for all supporters, with a phased programme of concourse and toilet refurbishment also under review."

Those puggies will be carnage on matchday with the youngsters. All the wee hard youngsters pushing other kids off them to look tough.
Hopefully we are sensible enough to make a big outdoor beer garden as well at the front.
Plenty of space without causing issue to people moving around the ground

Also interesting to note the monoblocking from New Edmiston House to the John Greig Statue is still to be completed. Hopefully this smart bit of work will be done during the summer months before pre-season friendlies return.
