Ibrox sun bleached seats

[5*RFC]

Slow news day/more things to worry about and all that but I've not really noticed how weird the colour of our seats have become compared to when they were new (shock horror)

The whole stadium obviously needs a spruce but is it just me that would like to see every seat replaced? I loved the colour when they were new. Vote away!

[God Honest Struth]

The discolour is from regular attendance...the other seats in Scotland aren't even close!

NS!

 

[Bluebrox]

The seats are badly faded.

If it was up to me and money was no object I would knock down the 3 seventies stands and start again.

 

[Gene_Okerlund]

I voted Fuck up

Bottle of ArmorAll and a hankie and do your own seat

 

[LOL 133]

Perfect opportunity to get rid of all the seats in the front 3 stands. Introduce rover tickets and rail seating. Increases capacity and the atmosphere becomes electric.

We'd have the best atmosphere in the UK and one of the best in Europe.

In before some annoying arsehole lady's front bottom says "we've got more important things to worry about"
That guy really annoys me.

There are noticeably four shades of blue on them seats.

Each shade is a representation of your typical Rangers fan who attends each match day.

1. Those who don't sit and prefer to stand.
2. Those who jump up every time Rangers win a throw-in.
3. Those who celebrate a goal.
4. Those who sit and chomp pies for 90 mins.

Conclusion: The BF1 section have the most Royal of Blue seats.

I guess its hard for some people to do more than one thing at a time.

How are you getting on "putting a good team out on the park"?

 

[crmpicco]

Maybe after 55

 

[Maturebear63]

The cost would be too much. My estimate would be at least £15 - £20 per seat.

Or the one that the Tims have broken more and more recently.

 

[Heggy]

I don't like the fact the stadium doesn't have seats all the way round. Get rid of the screens

 

[Olegs Hair]

In order to replace them and smarten up the appearance of the stadium, could a sponsorship deal for a firms name to be spelt out be explored?

 

[Bouncy]

The cost would be too much. My estimate would be at least £15 - £20 per seat.

The club should poll the support about adding it to the season ticket price

 

[Axelrod]

We can’t .

However the most glaringly obvious, relatively cheap “ fix” in the OPs pictures are in fact the screens.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why a club our size have absolutely tiny screens like portable televisions housed in giant grey fascia surrounds in the corner.

They look ridiculous . They are not fit for purpose in 2019.

With sponsorship and for a reasonable price we could get curved screens that take up that whole corner , everyone in the stadium could see them and they would improve the look of our stadium massively .

I have no idea why the board haven’t looked into it instead of going to the bother of repainting the fasciae dark grey in the summer .

 

[Superrangers]

I honestly can’t believe people are even considering this? Every available penny should be invested in the squad and wage bill. Bleached seats can wait for goodness sakes.

Aye the money we threw away on Pena could have refurbed the whole stadium

 

[Amity75]

I've always said I'd like to see us going back to the original seat colours, the yellow, red, orange etc. Our stadium really was one of a kind back then.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Hardly a priority is it??

 

[BlueLagoonCo]

Safe standing

 

[simply_the_best]

I don't agree at all, Ibrox is far classier, IMO, with the all blue seating.

Perfect opportunity to get rid of all the seats in the front 3 stands. Introduce rover tickets and rail seating. Increases capacity and the atmosphere becomes electric.

We'd have the best atmosphere in the UK and one of the best in Europe.

I'm led to believe that safe standing doesn't mean a larger capacity, everyone just stands in an allocated space where a seat would be used in European games.

There is a ratio of like 2-1 or 3-2 when the seats are locked in the standing position. 1-1 when seats are in use.

Fair do's mate, it does make sense that the capacity should increase, I'm pretty sure I read that the phiggery didn't increase when they got their standing area though.

I sit six rows from the back of the Govan front and can’t see the screens.

It’s outrageous . And there’s no need for it with the modern screens you can get . Ours are embarrassingly small .

 

[Superrangers]

Aye the money we threw away on Pena could have refurbed the whole stadium

Even more reason that we need to invest in the squad.

 

[ClubDeckBear]

I sit next to my dad's old bond seat, wouldn't want his plaque replaced.

 

[reyna12]

Sunderland fans did all the work over the summer at the stadium of light and the place looks much much better since. Absolutely no reason we couldn't do the same thing.

[The Canny Man]

For me the screens are pointless as is the massive segregation against teams who bring 200 punters.

 

[weebudsbud]

Get rid of the screens?????

I`d miss half the game due to the kangaroos in front of me.

Let’s get the team sorted

 

[Jelle1880]

It does look a bit shit but it's the least of our worries.

A before and after pic would’ve been helpful .

Can you imagine our board and fans trying to organise something similar ? 3,000 people helped replace those seats .

Shows what can be done when board and fans work in harmony .

If we ever do replace them let’s make it blue red and black for a wee change .

 

[Caldow1872]

I voted %^*& up purely because it was an option.

Agree though it doesn’t look great but won’t be high on the priority list atm

 

[Barryhopez]

Practically the whole stadium needs a revamp and modernised, tbh.

 

[tsa57]

Could get a sponsor to put their logo on the seats, and they give us new seats for free .

 

[Bluebrox]

Think what we could have done with the money which the board completely wasted on the Pedro project !!

 

[possilbear2]

The cost would be too much. My estimate would be at least £15 - £20 per seat.

I'd pay for my own seat.sure plenty of others would do the same if it helped the club

 

[pelem]

The seats are badly faded.

If it was up to me and money was no object I would knock down the 3 seventies stands and start again.

So would the biggest majority of fitbaw clubs.

 

[coplandrearl36]

Do away with the SUN and other weather conditions. Sorted

 

[Neilston Unionist]

Needs addressed at some point definitely. Makes our stadium look significantly worse in photos.

Sorry about the different team but maybe something like this?

Brilliant mate yes . Far superior and better than a tiny portable tv hidden amount get dark grey panels

 

[Corporal Clegg]

It's all about priorities and the top priority at the club at the moment is to get rid of the Family Stand lettering. Second priority is hot water in the bogs.

 

[dougiem]

Next the op will be wanting heated seats as a Galatasaray fan said the day we entered admin WE would stand in the streets to watch our team.

 

[Robert Marshall]

Never understood this point of view. I sit in the Govan and it's great.
Could do with a lot more Corporate Boxes, but other than that I think our Stadium is a proper football ground

Give it a rest
