Current Ibrox Stadium Problems and Future Redevelopments

All the talk about taking away the screens to replace them with seats,is it actually feasible as I read conflicting reports?.
The screens could be moved to the Copland Road and Broomloan Road stands surely?.

The huge posts holding up the stands would make for plenty of restricted view seating. Could get the posts to f and go for the open air look

Don't really get what he's trying to prove with posting that.

Notice he's been stirring the pot more recently on twitter- has he lost his contact within the club?

Noticed the change in his posts as well. Every post is negative regardless what the club are doing.

He's acting more like a mentally challenged every day.
 
Will the seats were in vacated be used for my gers monsoon ticket holder and public sale or will that be more disability seats?
 
are the Club Deck Stairwells listed buildings as they are adjoined to the main stand? Has the idea ever been floated about removing these and encompassing the stairwells within a new stand to fill in the MS/CR and MS/BR corners for extra seats? Would also be a means to get rid of that mingin yellow cladding

How would people get up to the Club Deck if the stairs were removed?

Presumably in this new corner stand?

How then would people get to the higher tier of the new corner stand, and how much would it hold, given that you would lose thousands of existing Main Stand seats to accommodate it.

We somehow cannot even manage to get a fucking hose out and clean the top of the dug out shelters. Ah not to mention, the mass amounts of bird shite on my seat in MFK!

Obviously lots of bigger jobs at the stadium but the club should really look to sort this. Have seen stories before of clubs hiring companies with hawks and they fly them round during the week to fix the issue.

Its a small thing but the main stand front last few games has been absolutely covered and pigeons are flying around the stand even during games.

Thats what I meant by saying encompassing a new stairwell within a new stand.

There would be separate turnstiles and stairwells for access for the new part of the stand.

Ive no idea how much it would hold but judging by the projected increase of around 4500 per corner if the screens were removed, then something along those lines.

Need to take the club deck roof supports at either end of the main stand into account as they would restrict the pitch view

You wouldnt lose many if any, but if there are affected seats in the Enclosures they could be relocated to the new lower corner

Principality Stadium hire a company to take care of this and it appears to work well.

The Main Stand overlaps the current Copland and Broomloan Road stands, so you would lose the areas in red to bring them round (guess around 5000 seats).

You’d need to remove and replace the Club Deck roof, demolishing the stairs and rebuilding them (losing space either side of the new corner stands) and then also leave access on at least one side for vehicles as we have at present. And then the end stands are both deeper than the Main Stand, so the new corners will unlikely be as tall as the current end stands, unless building onto the road is allowed. Then there is the listed status of the Main Stand to take into account, would building over the ends and potentially part of the front be allowed?

All for at most a handful of extra seats if any?

Cant see your picture but Im sure its an in-depth structural analysis of how it wont work. I bow to your superior knowledge

I’ve been making that point for years.
 
Regardless of anything, what needs to be noted is how any new seats closer to the pitch would be affected by Europe. Because of the way Parkhead is built, the first 3 few rows of seats behind the goals must be left empty, if we lower the park and brought more seats closer to the pitch, there's a chance they wouldn't be viable for Europe

Why are the seats at parkhead empty, id have said the seats at Ibrox were closer just now?

I think (and please correct me if I'm wrong) but it was something to do with the adversiting boards which had to be a certain size blocking seats

The advertisement boards need to be a certain height which means the front 3 rows don’t see the bylines. Think Chelsea have the same issues with the Shed End, City used to have to do it at the Etihad until they moved to the two tier advertisement boards.

Not sure if anyone would complain about not being able to see the byline so it’s a bit of a strange rule!

Yeah it is! I was just mentioning it cause we do have a significant gap between thr pitch and the seats which if we lowered the pitch (hypothetically) then it would reduce that gap and create a potential problem
 
Someone tell Michael we could drop the pitch 5/10/20 metres but we wont because nobody will see their nearest touchline

It's actually a bigger job than it looked on paper. Changing the elevation of the rear section as well as all the internal works.
Makes sense to do each stand in stages now and also spreads the cost.

Was wondering why they were taking the seats out the rear of the stand , now we know. Be interesting to know how they go about altering the gradient.
