The work on the Copland stand.

[forlanssister]

Not sure then. Maybe they need to remove more rows for proper access/space to work.

It's because the wheelchair spaces are being moved roght to the back and the number being reduced from the first mooted 46 down to 30.

The fayre being offered up at the AGM 2 years ago was Cail Bruich but what's being served up is Blue Lagoon.

 

[forlanssister]

Front or right at the back of the Rear Section?

If front it will be so they can do the work

I think the first 20 existing rows or so will be slightly higher than they currently are to compensate for the cantilever rake.

 

[PT98]

Is anyone confident it will be completed in time?

10 or so weeks is a big ask for the work required.

If it doesn’t get completed in time is playing a few games in a row away from home an option until it’s completed?

%^*& that, putting ourselves at a massive disadvantage right away

 

[sheddensbear]

How much is it costing ?

 

[rangeral]

Looking at the image you can see a slight curve so yes

It was mentioned at one of the MyGers forums that Rangers could play at Hampden if the work is not completed on time.

 

[iain18(7)2]

Id assume that even if if goes to plan this year, then next year we’d have the same potential issue if we have hampden on standby for any issues/delays?

Rangers will definitely have Hampden on standby

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

If it goes over then it goes over. Not any better time to do it.

How many seats is it adding?

 

[Rangerista]

We have our problems, but why is everything so quickly and unrelentingly negative surrounding our club?

Okay, we fecked the league and it's utterly depressing, but we've still got a cup to win and we're at least trying to improve Ibrox.

Just saying?

I would think it would be better to reverse the first couple of fixtures, the same as Hearts did for some

 

[Crispy Bacon]

I assume hearts got the corresponding fixture also reversed to tynecastle?

 

[top_cat]

Be interesting to know the SPFL's views on doing that...

 

[calderbear]

There’s loads of work going on.

The ceilings in concourse been removed.

Stripped right back to pipework, wires etc

Christ, it will look like parkheid.

 

[Noddy]

Jesus christ. Have a day off mate.

He'll not work Sundays.

 

[rangeral]

Yes

Hearts also played at Murrayfield during it as well than rather always reversing the fixture

Hearts forced to play at Murrayfield

Construction delays with Tynecastle's new main stand mean Hearts will play three home games at Murrayfield.

[rangeral]

We can ask for it

We will need to keep the SPFL upto speed on it

 

[london_bluenose]

Probably to make the needed reasonable adjustments for disabled fans who have been forgotten by enlarge by the club over the years

Are you trying to say "by and large" here?

 

[Cathcart Bear]

I would think it would be better to reverse the first couple of fixtures, the same as Hearts did for some

We’d still need to sort alternative venue for our CL qualifier

 

[clubdeckcharlie]

Yes because they are adjusting the angle of the Copland Rear as part of the building of the Cantilever.

Look at the dark grey rows on the pic below, I know this is a pic of the Broomloan but the plan is the same. This shows the front 10 or so rows of the existing Rear tier are being made slightly shallower.

Now the Copland...

I didn’t realise they were doing that. It will look pretty good I reckon. Make the stands a bit bigger looking.

 

[venturablue]

Going to be a long summer

Did you get the gist of the point or just wanting to critique the spelling?

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

Doubt games would be moved to Hampden because a small number of fans in the Copland would be affected by delayed work.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Doubt games would be moved to Hampden because a small number of fans in the Copland would be affected by delayed work.

I would imagine the full stand would be closed until the work is complete and certified.

 

[Willie Mac]

I'd be interested to see the contract with the Construction company. I would assume we have some pretty significant liquidated damages if they fail to receive PC. In general Constriction Companies wouldn't take on contracts with large LD sums if they aren't confident in completing the work in time.

Or they’ll just price them into the contract price.

I have no idea who the contractor is.

Potentially, those doing that would generally price themselves out. If I was seeing pricing like that it would raise some serious concerns. I'd assume that the contractors have been given early access and the correct due diligence was done by them before commitment.

 

[Timardim]

No one is raging mate, except maybe you.

It was a question.

Seems like you're raging at his post ...?

 

[Orange Peel]

Some place this for pointless arguments.

 

[oxfordloyal]

Our season tickets are in back 3 rows CF5, we did get emails to say we are getting moved but it seems now we are staying put for next season anyway.I'm guessing it means the disabled section is stopping at CF4 but does anyone know if this is a temporary thing and it will eventually included CF5 ? Few folk who sit to right of me have had their ticket price reduced as they are now restricted view but this isn't the case for us.

Interesting. I’m also in CF5 (lower down though, row O) and has assumed that the disabled section was right across the whole stand. No impact where my seat is other than us turning into wingmen (and women) for the UBs, which I think should be quite good fun.

Hopefully the work gets completed for the start of the season as planned. Would be a blow if not for those getting moved / impacted directly.

 

[Crispy Bacon]

The full stand is being stripped. Someone didn’t read the thread

 

[ibroxbound]

I assume there will be a penalty clause in the contract for non completion on time.

 

[HarryBosch]

Shouldn't be spending a penny on infrastructure until we get a winning team on the park

 

[Mr. T.]

Signed off by our board. What could possibly go wrong....

Yawn.

 

[Thomas Milton]

Yawn.

What does Bisgrove know about concrete eh eh ?

 

[Mr. T.]

If it goes over then it goes over. Not any better time to do it.

How many seats is it adding?

Correct - but it’s great great rage and moan material.

 

[Mr. T.]

What does Bisgrove know about concrete eh eh ?

He doesn’t need to know anything - as long as he knows ( or is paying) a man who does.

 

[Mr. T.]

So just ignore the needs of our disabled supporters, then?

 

[Thomas Milton]

Indeed - bit like the football side ..

No its not

It was very much tongue in cheek mate - because there are still supporters who will:
A. Think that
B. Refuse point blank to listen when it's pointed out to them that its from a different budget.

 

[Orange Peel]

It looked tongue in cheek tbh but you have to be crystal clear when you say something mate.
Folk on here still think I shag chickens.

10 or so weeks is a big ask for the work required.

If it doesn’t get completed in time is playing a few games in a row away from home an option until it’s completed?

I’d imagine whatever contractor is carrying out the work will have sufficient men and time to do the work.

Rangers no doubt would demand the work is finished on time.

 

[AbronhillBear]

Found it mental they were ripping the pitch up on Wednesday morning. I commented to my son on Tuesday night how good the pitch was looking. I'm sure there is probably a valid reason for it that I don't know but just seemed like such a waste.

 

[bullen an la]

Plenty of time.

dont be so sure, maybe FF is full of surveyors and structural engineers as well as tactical experts

 

[HarryBosch]

Tough habit to break

 

[london_bluenose]

No, genuinely was struggling to work out what your sentence meant until it occurred to me that you could have meant "by and large".

Said the very same to my mate on Tuesday “surely they won’t be relaying that pitch in the summer”
