If we do ever move then I am sure that Glasgow City Council will assist us whatever way they can.
NOAt the moment I'm sitting in the Veltins Arena in Germany. It's a cracking stadium, easy to access by public transport and with plenty of parking. Directly in front of me is a purpose built TV camera position. The roof is closed tonight.
Suppose the possibility arose, and financially, it was paid off within ten years and with league wins during that period, could you countenance Rangers moving out of Ibrox if it was to an easily accessible, suburban, 80,000 seat stadium?
FishingHaving a few sherbets in the sun Gio
Which would be what?It isn't.
If we get to the point where we need a capacity we can't match where we are, it's a serious possibility.
Nobody is proactively longing for it, but in terms of capacity and running costs, it's a conversation that will need to be had within 30 years imo.
If it is something that drastic, I'd sooner we demolish all but the main stand, but dismissing the possibility of us ever moving from where we are when we are seriously restricted in terms of adding basic amenities like more seats means it cannot be as mad as you say.
I'd be fine with that . Seriously though, we are a club steeped in history and tradition. A move from Ibrox is a 'no chance' from me.i am the same. but the big question is
but where? next to the docks? in some greenfield site, a brownfield site???
you can guarantee then glasgow council will demand carbon neutral transport links with minimal car use even if we chose the fuckign shetland islands.
then of course the money to pay for it.
Wow, that's a bold statement.Not for me. Ibrox is too special for us to ever move. In my opinion. It’s my favourite place on Earth.
Dated, in what sense, in that it is an anomaly to most stadiums that takes something away from it either practically or aesthtically? "Dated" is an interesting term, because some things that are "dated" have more value. In sport is Wimbledon Centre Court dated, or is Augusta dated? Arguably they are dated, but not in the perjorative sense you use to describe Ibrox. If "dated" is the criticism of Ibrox then that doesn't really wash, because through decades it has still captured the imagination of fans and players alike, past and present; so when did it suddenly become "dated" in the way you suggest? Ibrox is neither "patchwork, as described in another post, nor dated in the way you possibly infer.I wouldn't be against it as long as the main stand is preserved.
The rest of the ground looks quite dated and with modern engineering etc. we could make much better use of the space.
Increased capacity including more leg room and space per seat, proper catering facilities and toilets could all be possible.
Never, Ibrox is iconic, known the world over and means so much to many people worldwide.At the moment I'm sitting in the Veltins Arena in Germany.

Is the correct answerNo never.

ThisIt should not even be countenanced in any way whatsoever. What should always be remembered, is why the stadium we currently have was built.
Ibrox is a memorial to the 66 people who sadly lost their life while attending a Rangers game.
As far as I'm concerned, no other argument is required.
Exactly this^^^^^^^There's no need for us to move. Any major change like that could easily be done (assuming money is no object) with demolishing the three newer stands and building around the current main stand.
