New signage in place Broomloan Rd end of ground

[rangers for life]

Not sure if there is already a post about it ,replaces the older ones which were getting on with wear and tear and colour scheme was not great with red and blue on the red brick facing.

When are they finally going to pressure wash the dirt off the bit above the sign?

Been up a few days

The banner nearest the ticket office had actually came a bit loose with the wind a few days ago

I wish they would pressure wash the whole stadium exterior. It's such a simple job that would cost relative pennies.

The stadium itself would have years knocked off it if the actual footprint was completely revamped.

It’s god awful. Cost a lot though

 

[Crispy Bacon]

A pressure washer couldn’t save that. It needs serious investment. Whole stand is a bit of an eyesore from the outside.

I know folk love the redbrick but when it’s not maintained it ends up looking terrible. At least the other 3 stands type of red bricking The cladding is very out dated too. Could clad it similar to EH and change that every five years for buttons. Keep the Main Stand untouched.

I noticed it half way through January after the high winds.

Certainly looks better now however the rest needs some TLC.

Absolute nonsense, it’d would cost a fair whack given the size of the overall area.

Correct. The footprint around the stadium needs done badly. Not only does the old concrete look horrible, but it's so uneven that it can be dangerous underfoot, particularly at night time.

 

[TN8]

It's looking really dated isn't it. If money was no object you'd completely rebuild the other 3 stands with a glass exterior or something. Never going to happen though. Hopefully they can at least do something with the paving around the stadium.

These signs look really cheap and tacky around the stadium, up there with the club deck stair banners.

Won’t ever happen in our lifetime especially the SJ given the outlay on Blue Sky.

The only way you could tart it up is probably facings over the brickwork etc (not on main stand)

But it’d look so much better with better footprint around it the paths really bring it down in parts

 

[bobba]

noticed on saturday when the sun was out how tired the signage above the old/current shop is looking

 

[Supermac1872]

The way the outside of the three other stands look like should be far down anyone’s priority list.

EH will be start generating us money especially when the museum opens. Next up get the bar where the old shop is opened and start bringing in more revenue.

I’d much rather we got the toilets inside the stadium refurbished or the roads resurfaced around the footprint than bother about cladding the outside of these stands.

I think the signs themselves could look good. But because they're so clean and sharp they highlight how dirty other parts of the stand look.

 

[Noddy]

They won't do it now. If they did, the manky water would run down onto the new signage.

 

[TCWNS1872]

Yes the place is dated, but my God what a level of neglect the Spivs left as a legacy.

The difference in the fabric of the place between photos from the fag end of Murray’s time and now is sickening.

I don’t envy the board’s job in trying to bring it back - it’ll take millions and we don’t have it.

 

[derbyloyal]

They need to do something with the Govan West corner, it's a complete eyesore.

 

[club175]

The three stands should be recladded and all the empty office space used for hospitality light areas.

I actually think that would be the way forward - seen it done with a lot of buildings (cladding) and when done well it can be really good. Move it away from looking like an office block.

As people mention, there's so much internally/externally that needs done there should be a really clear plan for improvements for the next decade (I'm sure there is but not sure how high up the list this would be...more likely it wouldn't make the list)

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Get the three stands cladded in the light grey colour wrapped around them. Fill the two spaces on Copland and Broomloan stands with LED advertising boards rather than the horrendous signage as it’s been done recently. Modernise the place a wee bit except from the main stand.

Id definitely do the LED boards in the gaps on both stands, that would make a start on the modernising.

Would look good well better than it does.

Wouldn’t touch the Main Stand for obvious reasons but no reason you couldn’t on others with lighting as well (cost aside of course)

Not sure if I like these banners or not, LED screens would be more up to date

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

I love it. "would cost pennies"

Surely you'd spray that also when up there lol.

Cladding and lighting to keep the character but bring it up to date,the stadiums too good for it to look shabby. Drove past couple of weeks back, we have the blue sky lounge but a few floors down we still have dirty verticals and boxes shoved against windows.

Post a photoshop so we can see what we could have won, you never know it might be the new “ megabrox” image

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

How much do you reckon it’d cost to completely regenerate the whole pathways around the ground?

 

[Alfie shhh!]

When are they finally going to pressure wash the dirt off the bit above the sign?

Doubt they could remove the staining from decades of grime and pollution.

The outside of the 3 stands could do with some modern cladding though. Definitely got a 70's Eastern Bloc prison look about it.

 

[Rangerista]

Correct. The footprint around the stadium needs done badly. Not only does the old concrete look horrible, but it's so uneven that it can be dangerous underfoot, particularly at night time.

The Mafeking Street exit on to Copland Road is very badly lit, it definitely needs improved.

I'm guessing that would be the responsibility of GDC, so no chance of that happening then.

 

[Noddy]

It would have made more sense to do the cleaning and then put the new signs up.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

I genuinely think those "banners" just make everything look really cheap. At least the white writing is a little less jarring than the red.

 

[ShawlandsBear94]

what can they do anything to bring out the original colour of the bricks? they’ve dulled

 

[jf1960]

Cost pennies ? It costs about you £60 min to get somebody to come out and look at something for a quote.
Unless Donald Park gonna get the overalls back on with a jet wash and Andy Smillie supplies the scaffolding for nothing.
Canny see that

 

[Andyjock17]

The followfollow jet washing approach would probably end up causing more damage once it removed the dirt and exposed whats behind it to the elements

To be fair, it’s the last part of the ground I’d spend money on

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Keeping a building like Ibrox compliant and safe must cost millions of pounds a year before you even think about the cosmetic side of things.

I would dearly love to spend the money needed to give the stadium a proper makeover but it's just not there, not if we want to buy players like Raskin as well anyway.

I said relative pennies. Say it costs 20k - that's not even a week's wages for a number of our players.

So it is pennies. 2 million of them!

 

[sofakineazy]

They should clad the 3 stands in a shiny blue cladding. It would look tremendous and you could see it from space lol.
