[Big Hepy]

Is this taking away boxes at Govan rear and opening it up for all? Probably tells me in the link but too lazy to read.

 

[cambridgeblue]

"The development will also increase the overall Ibrox stadium capacity by nearly 200 seats."

 

[1914-18]

Be nice to go for a meal in something that resembles 2022, was well overdue an upgrade, good to see us getting things ticked off

Now for the Brown cladding!

 

[No Money No Problems]

Much?

 

[club175]

Wonder what that will be a season

 

[Allovereurope]

Wonder what that will be a season

Have asked as we are looking to move from club72

 

[Supersonic2.0]

this more away tickets being taken away from the average follower?

Probably not, no. Anyone who wants a season ticket will get one. It does add much needed commercial revenue and helps us maximise revenues and demand.

 

[Blue Steel]

this more away tickets being taken away from the average follower?

Don’t know why mate , says adding 200 to the overall capacity .

 

[LRM]

"Alongside New Edmiston House and the new Club Museum,…”

what’s happening with those? wasn’t Edmiston House supposed to be about done by now?

 

[Rule Britannia]

It increases capacity by 200 seats. I wish folk would read these things before just moaning.

 

[SuperAlly1990]

What's the damage for a season ticket in there?

 

[Bri RTID]

Probably not, no. Anyone who wants a season ticket will get one. It does add much needed commercial revenue and helps us maximise revenues and demand.

for Ibrox I get it

 

[davmcc]

Argyle house was long overdue an upgrade.

Take it this puts an end to boxes at Ibrox?

 

[OohAhHuistra]

What's the damage for a season ticket in there?

Couldn’t see one either

 

[club175]

Have asked as we are looking to move from club72

I would be tempted to if it includes all games like club 72. It’s the one aspect I like knowing your covered for everything

 

[Shawlands_Bluenose]

Is this the at the top of the Govan?

 

[Billy's Big Toe]

Is this the at the top of the Govan?

Yes mate

 

[djurgardenbear]

It's not negative on the face of it, but given we can't look after existing corporate should we be adding more?

 

[HawfHeedHartson]

Hope its closed during night games, wouldn't be right for it to be open when the sky is black and not blue.

Don't worry it'll be open for our Euro 1/4 final onwards next season then

 

[Rangers72]

It’s a Blue Sky Daaayy…eh, Lounge!

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

this more away tickets being taken away from the average follower?

Its ran by a VIP manager, it will be £2k a season ticket and they will forget to ballot them so wouldnt worry

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Take it you’re guaranteed a ticket for all cup finals with MyGers VIP if you transfer to the blue sky lounge ?

Presume you missed the Seville thread?

MyGers VIP is pointless and doesn't accrue any points.

 

[HawfHeedHartson]

I would be tempted to if it includes all games like club 72. It’s the one aspect I like knowing your covered for everything

My guess would be no, think they are desperately trying to do away with that tbh. Maybe the cynic in me but looks like they are trying to force folks out of Club72 so they can sell it on a game by game basis, this will likely be aimed at just the 19 home games a season.

 

[Thor]

Extra money for the club and good to see the capacity increased. Rows will be added to the bottom of the Sandy Jardine, Broomloan and Copland next.

 

[Scott1975]

looks cracking imo

 

[Barca Bear]

Is this the at the top of the Govan?

Except when wet

 

[5cotland]

Happy with anything.to upgrade the stadium and match day experience

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Happy with anything.to upgrade the stadium and match day experience

It's good news.

Maybe one day they will give the plebs a safe standing area.

Or upgrade the disabled facilities...

 

[The People]

"The development will also increase the overall Ibrox stadium capacity by nearly 200 seats."

good news , I hate seeing our sell out crowds starting with a 4
Hopefully 50k everyone game now

OCD loyal

 

[Rich Tea Biscuit]

Don't worry it'll be open for our Euro 1/4 final onwards next season then

Oh I remember ok, like the thought

 

[deBoersHeader]

I like it.

One step at a time. Ibrox is an old stadium which has been neglected for a long time.

 

[Oranje]

Whats the matchday dress code?

 

[cloodie]

Opened the brochure for more details but other than a few pictures it doesn't really tell you anything. You just get this:

Would've been a lot easier for everyone involved if they had those details in the brochure.

 

[Oranje]

It's good news.

Maybe one day they will give the plebs a safe standing area.

Or upgrade the disabled facilities...

I think upgraded facilities for wheelchair users were meant to be part of this refurbishment? Access via a lift then from the restaurant to a viewing platform.

 

[GazzaG]

Probably won’t get a reply. Still waiting on Natalie phoning about scf.

I see your SCF and raise you 'still waiting on a call about the Petrofac Cup final'

I'm beginning to think they've forgot about me.

 

[BlueHeaven1872]

Might be a stupid question but I take it seats are outside the box for the game ?

 

[Japandroid]

I wish folk would read these things before just moaning.

Are you new here?

 

[In Walter We Trust]

Might be a stupid question but I take it seats are outside the box for the game ?

Boxes are being removed , full height glazing with 200 new seats created outside , looks cracking pity I can’t afford it

 

[Diego Maradona]

Looks fantastic. Hope they don’t make a lady's front bottom of it

 

[Chris the Bandito]

So, are the extra 200 seats additional season tickets at the back of the Govan?

It says the lounge holds 330 and I can't imagine the previous boxes only had capacity of 130 total, so presume there's 2 rows of seats required for those in the lounge and another row or 2 for season tickets with a net gain of 200 above the old box capacities.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Looks good

Anyway that match day revenue can be increased is a bonus

 

[The People]

Where are you hearing this mate ?
Hopefully true though ,the more extra seats the better

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

It was one of the options put forward by Mitie along with partial and full infill of corners at the screens.

 

[Bluebeard]

Mitie?

We can’t dig down any further because of the sight lines from the club deck. Also the water table.

 

[Bluebeard]

Boxes are being removed , full height glazing with 200 new seats created outside , looks cracking pity I can’t afford it

So glazing still in front of the seats?

For me it would be better with glazing removed. Didn’t enjoy watching the games from behind glass on the occasions I was up there in hospitality

 

[RangersEasyOK!]

Mitie?

We can’t dig down any further because of the sight lines from the club deck. Also the water table.

Water table isnt an issue, never has been and those affected by sight lines would be flipped to a restricted view price.

 

[The People]

I seen some of the renders on here

Full infill looked great but probably insane amount of money

And again a wee update from the club on occasion about this sort of thing would be helpful

 

[IbroxForever]

Looks great, ha would not like to see the prices.

 

[Bluebeard]

Water table isnt an issue, never has been and those affected by sight lines would be flipped to a restricted view price.

So we would lose money off premium club deck tickets? I can’t see that happening
