Current state of the store at Ibrox as of today.

[Ta Phyra Loyal]

Hopefully ripping out the false ceiling and putting a new one up too.

 

[CoopBlue]

This will be fine and ready for 6th August.

No problem at all.

 

[Oduwa]

A weeks a long time in football.
Eleven days is an eternity in shopfitting.

 

[The Submariner]

im a fitter, so can tell you by experience. its easily achievable

Are you a quick fit fitter? If so I believe you because you can't get better and are the ones to trust...

 

[gorbalsbear]

Not many would have to be fair mate lol

Most of this thread seem to have lol.

 

[ELGers]

Looking at that those photos I hadn't realised just how much space there was. Anytime I was ever in the megastore I always thought that it was very small and cramped. Probably part down to the bad layout of the store.

whats a quick fit fitter? i dont do shop fit outs. i do bespoke stuff in houses, but have done some shops in the past, and have worked with loads of shopfitters in the past. shop fit outs tend to take half the amount of time, usually long hours. and in any case theres still plenty of time.

 

[blueismycolour]

Well on track, I'd say to be opened on the 6th. All the ground work is done, shop fitters will have that fitted out over night, stock in the next day, jobs a good one.

 

[Mark8]

Seen full department moves from the likes of RAS in a lot less time. Even easier and achievable for a team of reffiters whennthey dont have to de merchandise etc.

Various tradesmen will have that rattled in no time and POS up.

 

[Ibrox Aggro]

Shop fitters usually work nightshift as well. Give it 6 days

 

[Gary Mitchell]

John Eustace the fitter?

Can he fit in Europe.

[Matty1904]

It will be some size of sports bar when ready in 2022

 

[Ross_]

Wouldn’t be so sure it won’t be ready - my new office 12.000 sq ft took 6 full days start to finish !! Couldn’t believe it when they said we were moving in just over a week.

 

[wsb&warmy]

This thread is some laugh

 

[Trueblue82]

i have no idea how long it takes to do

Yeah we noticed

 

[Baxter2013]

Plenty time.

 

[The_StCyrus_Bear]

Think the lad is getting a bit carried away.

Shop refits are like Ikea on steroids.

They just throw up cheap shite in no time at all. Fair to say, 6th August is easily attainable.

All they need is a half decent Project Manager lol

 

[Crouchy]

All they need is a half decent Project Manager lol

Anything like your last few jobs, should be ready for Xmas. ;-)

 

[The_StCyrus_Bear]

Anything like your last few jobs, hould be ready for Xmas. ;-)

I was thinking that myself lol it’s all about getting another turkey lol

 

[ibroxbound]

It could be fitted out in a day ffs

Tooooo far.

Yes it will looks like first fixings are finished

 

[Drewball]

China built a hospital in a week.

Did it not collapse shortly after opening?

 

[orjan_persson]

[Boab4]

I said that at the time of Rangers statement on the sports direct exclusivity on the new strip.

Mid August I would say.

The 6th of August isn't mid August.

 

[WeeStephen]

I iz old.

The fact you had to explain that joke makes me feel old. I thought everyone knew what a Kwik-Fit fitter was!

This is how that hospital looked two weeks later, total collapse, 10 dead, but China got their propaganda moment. Britain also built multiple hospitals in less time with the Nightingale hospital, yet China’s still gets praised and nobody mentions ours.

You’re underestimating the Protestant work ethic mate.

 

[jdm1873]

That shop will be finished within the next week.

 

[Nathan9719972]

Not a chance that’s getting done by 6th August

Was that not a hotel which was being used as a hospital? The hospital that was built wasn't several stories high.

That’s a hotel they were using. Not the hospital they threw up in 10 days.

 

[The 290 Duke]

I think we'll struggle to get it open for 6th August too,................


If we've one guy doing all the feckin jobs!

Behave yourself ffs

 

[GarMckin]

I see it was a different one now. Still isn’t a great endorsement of Chinese construction.

 

[GarMckin]

Yeah I see it was a different one that collapsed. The second emergency hospital is apparently falling apart though, with all the patients moved out.

Breaking News! China’s New And Rapidly Build Hospital in Wuhan Falling Apart Due to Winds and Snow, Patients Moved and Building Now Not Usable - Thailand Medical News

In another blow to China’s PR machine, the newly build 1,600 bed hospital in Wuhan that was named the Thunder God Hospital and was China’s pride to show the world that despite the coronavirus epidemic and the pressure that it was facing, it was resilient and capable of achieving amazing feats...

[ClubDeck4JH]

Point being they still built it within their time frame regardless of the quality.

 

[jweebear]

12hr shifts, maybe even some all night nighters with the spotlights on, doors closed to keep the noise down? I can see it opening.

 

[AndythephotoDr]

The shop will be open no bother, the refit will take less time than the stocking of the shelves etc.

worked in retail for years and involved with 4 shop fit/refits.

getting exciting now, having our shop back in the clubs hands and fans being able on a match day or any other day go mad buying Rangers stuff. I have high hopes that we will love what’s on offer.

Awk don’t sweat it, it’ll be done no bother

 

[Beanyrfc79]

thread full or decorators haha i have no idea how long it takes to do and going by the pictures i didnt think it would be ready in time. Glad to hear it will be though.

Decotaters lol the joiners and fixers will love that

 

[Super A]

Tooooo far.

Not really a squad of joiners on a,12 hour shift would have it done

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Honestly not sure why it couldn't be ready for the 1st after all. Nothing structural needs done - just paint, carpet and plug in some stuff that's probably pre-assembled off-site. Then add merch.

 

[MSF]

"Incredible change"

 

[ibroxbound]

Not in my experience of shopfitting.
There would be a good few hours where nobody could work excepting the floor layers.

 

[bluetonic]

In that show from the 90’s with Carol Smillie they converted peoples homes in 1 hour so anything is possible
