Sport complex accross from Ibrox.

[Eastendbear]

Noticed that the sport complex accross from Ibrox is not opening again due to cuts by the council.
Would it be worth Rangers trying to buy it for use at matchdays to hold events etc?

 

[SSJack]

I wouldn’t say it would be “ worth “ doing I’d say its an absolute must do . The club simply must purchase it - we are becoming boxed in as it is . Buying that would at least give us some breathing space . If we don’t we face high flats going in directly across from our iconic stand .

Use it for either part of a fan zone or parking

I thought we had a 20 year lease on the complex.

Pretty sure we have a 25 year lease so no idea where we stand on that.

As regards buying it, it would be a really useful move. However, we need to be aware that - whatever we plan to do with it - the local Community Council will object. It’s what they do, as we‘ve found with many other things.

Watch the lovely council inflate the land value. I'm expecting a cheap land deal like the rattlers got

You are spot on VB, it was 25years, although I don’t know what the terms are. If the council don’t want it as a functional facility then we will be in the driving seat to purchase.

I really hope we can get ownership of this!

At the very least we could take the high wire fence down that surrounds the pitch which obscures the view of the main stand and use it for parking.

If cleverly landscaped, with trees etc it could provide much needed parking whilst providing attractive surroundings in the foreground to show case our magnificent main stand!

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Given the bigot that is in charge of Glasgow Live is standing down then that will hopefully help

 

[jubileeblue]

Fantastic area for a fanzone.

Celtic might buy it if they've got a spare pound or two.

Let’s hope so!

A long term lease was acquired via Rangers Charity Foundation. It's going to be used as a training venue for the boys and girls academies.

 

[Crouchy]

Perfect fan zone.

 

[mark hateley]

Burn it down.

I had a shocker there in 2009 with the FF 11s and got laughed at by the standers by prior to the game.

Maybe thats why I never will be playing in the ground next door

Must have been a shocker if you never even got a sniff during the bottom tier lol

If our stadium didn't need so much work it would have been cool to buy it and build a smaller arena like Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium for the women and potentially B teams.

Open a massive open air bar from Monday.

 

[Barca bears]

@Greg Marshall this should be passed onto club. Majority of fans believe it is essential that if its for sale the club take use of this and use it on our footfall. Have it used for something that could enhance the club, remove the fence so we can get good panoramic views of the main stand. How can we get these passed onto the board at club. We as a club cannot afford to lose this piece of land.

 

[Killer Bob]

The facility so busy that Rangers were not allowed to deprive the community of it for an afternoon is to close?

SDM “had that vision” with the St.Anthony’s pitch along at Helen Street.
Sams vision as the casino.

Club 1872 should buy it so it's owned by the fans.

Maybe we could build a hotel/casino?

Ibrox Football Centre is on the GCC list as not opening again by them, so if it does then reopen, it will be fully under the Rangers Football Charity auspices? We should take the next step and fully purchase it, we already have the lease.

 

[GF4]

I was working in it just before they set it up as a covid testing facility. I was informed that Rangers are taking it over after the testing is no longer required.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Will be flats soon knowing GCC

Will be a chapel knowing those cu*s
