its a no for me
What's with one of those hashtags #wewerentborntofollow ?Just seen this tweet showin 1 of 3 new banners being placed around Ibrox.
Thoughts
I agree doesnt look great but for all we know over next 3 months the outside could be getting a makeover in time for fans returnBit pointless at the moment seeing as no fans at Ibrox for at least another 3 months
agreed....I'm going to buck the FF trend to negativity and state that I'm quite happy with them.
Yup said that for agesIf these are for covering seats when the season kicks off behind closed doors then I'm not too fussed. Vinyl banners outside any ground always seems cheap and plug and cover up type deal.
The main thing coming from this thread is the lack pride in the stadiums image, it needs a good cleaning before anything else.
Also feel the Club should have a few of these around the ground, so adverts of club products can be shown, bolted down for a few hours then removed. Modern and can be changed easily. Ads on loop for VIP, MyGers, video clips, ticket info, release dates on merch etc. Could easily have the crest or badge at the bottom.
If only!. That would be tremendous.It certainly isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, I would concur.
The idea is not too far off the mark though, when the Board of Directors discussed the plan they were moving in the right direction, then it somehow went off course.
The content of the banner has too much information crammed into it for the average punter as he/she approaches our iconic home.
Something less 'busy' would be more of an attraction, something fans that with just a fleeting glance at it would immediately fill them with a sense of pride, a puffed out chest as they entered this magnificent Stadium and up the stairs to watch The Rangers.
May I suggest...
It was done three weeks agoNothing special at all.
Our record with banners outside of the stadium is pretty rank.
Someone at the club clearly doesn't "get it".
Now can we please clean the concrete on the outside of the stands!! How long is it going to take?!
I was about to post where are the banners to be hung?I'm convinced they are seat covers.

That’s lyrics from a song is it not?Born to lead not follow (I think) is the meaning.Maybe I’ve lost the plot.What's with one of those hashtags #wewerentborntofollow ?
Maybe it's a motto of the signs company but pretty ridiculous to use in the tweet when the banner they've produced actually says "follow follow", and it's one of the customer's most familiar motto.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Association football you know the original name before football.Soccer, wtf is that about.
Yeh that's fair enough. I just think quoting something like that devalues our follow follow sentiment. I'm just a bit suspicious that it was a deliberate dig.That’s lyrics from a song is it not?Born to lead not follow (I think) is the meaning.Maybe I’ve lost the plot.
edit It is a Song by Bon Jovi .Second line in the song is very apt during these times.
I believe the guy who owns the company and posted these pictures on twitter done work for us before at the training centre (not saying murray park).He is a Bear.Yeh that's fair enough.

Are we sure they are not for covering seats inside the stadium?All the games I’ve watched in England have them.What is it with the club and these cheap looking banners. The one on Edmiston house is fine but that’s where they should have stopped
I don’t like it. But in the grand scheme of things the banner doesn’t matter.
what annoys me is the misplaced sense of priority. Look at the photo the brickwork needs fixed, the concrete is an eye sore and needs cleaned and the gaps at the top need sorted.
did they ever finish replacing the cladding at the sides of the broomloan and Copland ?
Don't really care tbh.
It's only a banner and doesn't worry me one way or the other.
That’s a bit disappointing.Would like to have seen this done.Can’t be to critical but hope it’s finished sooner rather than later.No , it’s half finished . Like you I assumed it would be getting done once lockdown was lifted . No sign of it being started . We now have half brand new clear panels and half yellowed from the 80s.

It surprises me to see people with the passion for the club you clearly have , shrugging and saying you don’t care about giant nylon banners being plastered onto our iconic stadium . You are allowed to say if you don’t like something - and lets be honest , not many are going to like this . Everyone and their auntie knows it’s a cheap way of trying to make things look better , instead of actually fixing the brickwork and cleaning properly .
We can be critical. The replacing of the cladding didn’t need to stop when it did. It’s not the most complex or costly job. And a half done job looks poor.That’s a bit disappointing.Would like to have seen this done.Can’t be to critical but hope it’s finished sooner rather than later.
