What’s the update on the side panels of the Broomloan and Copland?

[Cutty/Young]

Started to remove a couple of panels today from the side of the Broomloan at the gates and also noticed at the other set of gates at the Copland/main stand they have removed the steel sheets they had on the gates to stop people seeing in, I suspect they have only been removed because they might be painting the gates again.

Find it strange to replace panelling when the externals need cleaned down

Maybe they need replaced??? This place is mental. Thinking they know better about smartening up the stadium.

 

[uaerangers]

Did the tour last week and have to say the dressing rooms and corridors surrounding need modernised. Also the reception area, things like wall paper fraying and stuff needing hidden. Our stadium is a museum full of history. We need to protect it and showcase it as best we can. Im sure the Board know this and I understand its a work in progress getting it back up to scratch.

The surrounding areas of the home dressing room is being totally refurbished this summer to accommodate a players lounge / eating / relaxing / warm up area where the players will be able to arrive at the stadium early on a match day and eat together.

Yeh, but they're metal

You said they are metal?

 

[Square and compass]

No you have .

Read the thread . The materials have been bought and the job is going ahead .

And you want to cover the brand new panels in banners ?? That’s losing the plot and thankfully will NEVER happen .

Tacky and dont want to puncture them

 

[bluetonic]

Same with MDF mate. It's fuckin I prefer men!

MDF is not really wood though is it?

Some people struggle with the concept of doing more than one thing at the same time. It has to be a straight choice between one or the other in some people’s minds for some reason.

I’d like us to do it like Bournemouth rather than just plain white

Sooner this is done the better so we can moan about something else!

The white bar along the Club Deck roof badly needs painted

At least another 2 pages of moaning about the end result before moving on.

New strips are out soon, plenty whinging to be had there!

Or, perhaps, the paucity of available funding makes doing too much, too soon a tad difficult. All sorts of reasons why things may need to be staggered.

That wasn’t the argument being made though.

I’m in the Govan rear and think this at every game! Could do with a good clean and paint

 

[Valley Bluenose]

To be fair, its hard to keep track of what the argument is supposed to be - and all over a bit of plastic at the end of a couple of stands.

I wonder if SG wants to change the dressing room itself as well to modernise it

Supposedly he did but decision was taken to keep them as the board knew the support would have went mental. Kept for historical reasons.

I wouldn't mind it being updated a bit tbh, as much as I love how historical it is I'd rather the players had the best facilities possible.

 

[eyalluvitt]

From what I heard we are just replacing the yellowing corrugated plastic sheeting with more of the same , which if true is amassive disappointment.

It's not the yellowiest thing seen in our stadium

 

[eyalluvitt]

Hate to bring up the mentally challengeds but they have clear perspex at the end of their meccano set and it looks a hell of a lot better than yellow.

They got one of their own involved in the Piggery painting contract

 

[StirlingBear]

Somebody posted a video driving by Ibrox today and it looked as if the copland road ones have been replaced.

They removed a couple of small panels yesterday near the top of the stand, If they have removed everything since yesterday and replaced all the panels i'd say they were more magicians than builders.

I actually do as I’m in property maintenance , you don’t put new cladding in then cover the thing in crap as you clean the building , common sense

That's getting done once all the other remedials are carried out. My understanding is that the cladding contractor who has been doing all the roofing work etc etc will be on site for another 18 months. Once all that stuff has been completed and things like plant equipment, scaffold etc are away then the cleaning element will get done.
Unfortunately, due to previous regimes, the stadium upkeep was badly affected so it's a long journey. What i can assure everyone is that these works are being carried out correctly and to a high specification.

Start of this video, looks like grey panels to match the roof, unless the just cleaned the yellow looking ones.

Fair enough that was rapid. Surprised they are grey though

Could be correct as they do look pretty grey, I've only seen the Broomloan end so could be they have finished the Copland already.

The bit underneath it that goes up and along the stand desperately needs power washed. That is probably the bit that annoys me more than anything

Yip how hard can it be some scaffolding and power wash price of what a players weeks wage if that ?

Then of course was the new Club Deck and Main stand rebuild

Aye power wash would at least clean then up a bit. We bit of masonry paint would not be the worst idea.

I think we should seal off the bit at the bottom before the turnstiles and put some nice cladding over it whether its metal or brick.

Surely if it's been identified that the cladding needed replaced then they'll also be doing something to that because you're totally right, it's horrific. Either power wash it or cover it up with some form of light material, wouldn't take much.

If that gets done along with the side panels being complete, the difference in the exterior in both stands will be night and day to before.
