The stadium doesn't need to be any bigger,the money would be better used elsewhere
We can do both, 44,000 season ticket holders suggests there’s room for expansion.Agreed. The current stadium needs refurbished first before any expansion should be discussed.
Not bothered about expanding but would definitely love to see some work done in and around the stadium
He would be a fool if he wasn't planning to further the club, I'm sure it's all part of a 5 year plan which includes, improving on the pitch as well as the stadium and wider infrastructure.Dream on Mr King. Let's get us proper competitive on the park before we worry about anything else.
Can you expand on this?Incremental improvements are possible, nothing major. That ship has sailed.
I think we should expand. I hate the fact they have a bigger stadium than us. We are the best supported team in the country. We're selling out Ibrox just about every week. Say we increase by 10k, we'd sell half those seats every week. And we'd sell them all for the scum games.
Go and watch the end of the video redevelopment means expansion in this context no?He didn’t mention expansion, just improvements.
That doesn't matter, those tickets are bought and paid for. As would around 5000 more each game if we had more capacity.You never been outside the Subway for a league game. Bus convenors trying to shift loads of tickets.
Stadium is fine as it is.

I don’t think so. I watched the video because of this thread so was expecting to hear about stadium expansion but nothing he said pointed to that.Go and watch the end of the video redevelopment means expansion in this context no?
That’s how I interpreted it as well. It’d likely take tens of millions to signicantly expand Ibrox, so I really don’t see that happening.I took that as redeveloping the surrounding areas with the help of GCC. May be wrong.
If we had £50m and it was spent on 10,000 new seats rather than the first team squad and a manager to match then what do you think the reaction would be?If Aberdeen can afford £50M for a new stadium, I'm sure we are more than capable of providing a level of finance that would be required to expand the stadium.

Aye, but, Dave King etc etc etcHe didn’t fu cking say expansion ,never uttered it ,so the thread is 100% misleading tripe

"As far as improvements are concerned, we've got some very ambitious plans - both on our own, and working with the council on project 2022, looking at complete improvement and refurb of the surrounds of the ground and really redeveloping the stadium completely"
But improving facilities will improve revenue opertunities which is vital.Far greater priorities than stadium expansion.
We need progressive & sustainable performance both on & off the field first.

Agreed. The current stadium needs refurbished first before any expansion should be discussed.
Maintain & upgrade, yes.
Increase capacity? Absolutely not.
It’s a typical AGM “moonbeam” harking back to Murray’s era IMO.

How hard would it have been to watch the video?
Well, no or he would have mentioned expansion or increased capacitiy which he doesn't.
He separates the surroundings and stadium redevelopment hen making the statement.

What do you think redeveloping the stadium completely means in this context?
In the short term (1-2 years) yes money could be used elsewhere.The stadium doesn't need to be any bigger,the money would be better used elsewhere
Redeveloping the stadium.
