The council are focused on keeping cars out of the city centre not recreational facility's,If they were concerned about the dangers of pollution with kids present,then every road outside a school would be closed,half the city's roads would be closed.
Turning a four lane road into a two lane one is a recipe for plenty of accidents,especially if coming round the Broomloan roundabout and then having to take a sharp left onto oncoming traffic,there is also the problem of planning permission and as we have seen being denied a very simple fanzone with everything in place,there aint a hope in hell of them granting us permission to close half the road and alter the road layout along with having to deal with no doubt lots of protests from the Ibrox and Cessnock community council.
Would be far better resurfacing the surrounds of the stadium behind the stands,re-cladding with more modern stuff which looks nice and doing something with Edmiston house which still costs the club money every year regardless of not being used.
The kids fanzone is absolutely laughable,allowing people and kids to play football on a car parks concrete surface when it would be much easier to just buy astroturf and put that down and when done roll it up and put in a safe place and it's much safer for the kids.
People on here have come up with some great ideas for the stadium surrounds and how to improve the matchday experience,same thing with highlighting the facia of our main stand,there is nothing difficult about it and was done previously when it was lit up blue by Green and the lighting was removed,LED lighting to highlight the two ends of the main stand along with lighting the facade,when you have something to show off you highlight it for all to see,the main stand falls into that category and something that should be done on a permanent basis,the tech is available but sometimes i think our board still live in the 1980's in the land of uplighters and spotlights.
Similar applies to our floodlights as we still use old halogen bulbs,LED lighting is far superior and a 1/4 of the cost of running halogen bulbs, I also don't know why we haven't installed energy efficient solar panels on the vast roof space and utilised it to cut our costs regarding lighting and heating throughout the stadium,free energy and we don't use it.
