New Blue Sky Lounge at Ibrox

[TheMarbleStaircase]

Do you think they had to call it the blue sky lounge because we lost in Seville?

 

[The People]

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

It does sound a bit of a strange way of going about things

Adding seating but having to discount others because of it

That’s why it won’t be happening. Pie in the sky surely unless the poster is ITK @RangersEasyOK! ?

Your probably right mate ,I can't see this being an option

 

[Basile Boli Soup]

The family business gave a quote to Morris Spottiswood to do the quartz worktops for the lounge. I’ve not heard anything from the office so don’t think we got it. Gutted

Not ITK regarding what they are doing with stadium.

Only know about a few things on Edminston House etc through various routes.

Would be adding in shite, low value seats, to then make large portions of the club deck restricted view. I’d say from around row P backwards in the Club Deck you already struggle to see the touchline. Im further down and need to stretch.

 

[The Railway Bear]

This was the price when it was first marketed, interesting to see what it actually comes in at.

What does that get you ? Assuming free bar etc

I was CD4 row H for a few years there

have to say looking behind me ,those seats way up top do like the view wasn't brilliant

Watch them forget to update that and have people paying for the season just finished

It doesn’t sound feasible unless the poster has some more info.

Probably forgotten those prices were published 2 seasons ago. Looks appealing but the back row of SJR is not.

 

[McCoist’sTinHat]

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

And lift the new multi million £££ pitch they’ve just installed?

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Yeah I think the Club72 seats are much better

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Looks nice. I reckon Club72 will still be better value for money. Looking forward to the restaurant returning up there. View should be even better now.

Looks as though it has changed since then given they mention there being different packages available.

 

[lumbear1872]

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

OCD loyal

The capacity is 51082 at the moment.

My seat up the back of the club deck is going to be £616 next season. What kind of prices are they paying elsewhere in the ground!

I'm sure some seats at the edges of the enclosure aren't used even though they are counted in official capacity

If you are central they aren’t cheapest.

Out on the wings up the back they are cheap as chips

 

[Dynamo]

The away support will soon look very Struthian in their suit and ties

 

[jigster]

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

anything that gets capacity up i'm in favour of....... as that brings in more money

 

[RobGer]

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

Is that because they will b sitting at rear of SD and counted rather as previous watching from behind glass and not?

 

[Oranje]

Why have they been so vague with the information on this. Even the brochure doesn’t give much away.

Price?
Reserved seating or casual seating?

Rangers hospitality is always vague in detail. When you get emails inviting you to the corporate euro away day trips the price is never mentioned. You have to email them back ( double work) for them to then say the price

They always have prices for the hospitality suites and what's included on the website and in the brochures. Not sure why it isn't the case here.

 

[Crouchy]

Looks class. Makes bar72 look like a school canteen.

Great job - that’s the type of shit we need more of.

Now let’s do similar with the CD!

It was roughly £350 a skull up there for the Leipzig game

Be careful what you wish for.

Chelsea’s West Stand Upper which is their equivalent to the Club Deck got turned into a full stand of hospitality. Slight capacity reduction from adding in wider padded seats across the whole stand, but big revenue increase and lots of fans priced out.

Can see Bisgrove adding a couple of couches, tables and some bar taps to the Club Deck concourse and charging £1.7k for the privilege.

I always thought that Club72 post-renovation looked like a late 60's Wimpy Bar, cheap formica tables and uncomfortable plastic seating. I think the yanks called it 'naugahyde' or something fancy but basically pvc fake leather.

Commercial goes from strength to strength at Ibrox, and this is commendable.
However, as far as I know, nothing has moved on to improve conditions for our disabled supporters. It's interesting to note creation of this lounge increases capacity by 200 seats. There must be some space in Ibrox now that can be developed into a first class viewing area for disabled fans. How many AGM's have passed now with broken promises being made to them?
If there was to be one legacy from Seville I'd like to see implemented it'd be excellent disabled viewing conditions.

I’ve got my own grand plans for the CD,

Could be a thing of beauty. Old Bar72 on steroids.

Sports bar, comfy seats, betting lounge - you name it, be fucking brilliant.

Someone mentioned that this is part of that refurbishment.

It’s not the interior that we like, its the customer service and the fact that we are treated like absolute royalty.

So you can slag our interior as much as you want. It simply won’t bother me.

I’m sure there’s provision for disabled supporters in Blue Sky, but don’t quote me on that. On the whole though, the facilities for our disabled fans are a disgrace.

The issue with the club Deck is the restricted view up the back. You couldn't sell that as corporate/hospitality

There is but for vip clients I assume

 

[HeyBert]

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

First thing I thought

 

[JMCK]

Quite a transformation.

 

[Billy's Big Toe]

Proposed to the wife up in the old argyle house, in box overlooking pitch, some 25 years ago! I look forward to going back when it's renovated...

I wish the wife viewed my CD1 ST as cheap as chips

Tell me the extra 200 seats isn’t the capacity increase that was mentioned.

 

[forlanssister]

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.

Your guess is completely wrong.

 

[MJN 55]

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

Highly doubt it,the hospitality managers have made total balls up of away/semi/finals tickets this season for people who have paid fortunes for corporate season tickets.
Things would need to drastically improve if this is to happen.

No Bisgrove already mentioned this previously on interviews with H and H and 4 lads. He said the blue sky lounge is premium seats and although it its not a huge amount it helps with the waiting list.
