Exciting new plans have emerged that will make a 164,000 capacity Ibrox the biggest stadium in Glasgow.
In the world of James Bisgrove everything is exciting from opening a Sports Bar, starting a new crypto partnership, launching a fourth strip or arranging a gig for New Edmiston House.
The incoming Ibrox CEO was laying it on thick in midweek when he hosted a Q and A session for supporters where he went through a tick list generated from social media.
Refusing to give Celtic fans the Broomloan Road Stand is the top priority for most Ibrox fans with Bisgrove delivering on that to underline his staunch credentials.
Various proposals have been made to increase the capacity of Ibrox including adding more tiers (not tears), removing side panels to fill in corners and even reducing the level of the pitch towards the water table.
Unfortunately all of these plans require financing and as Micky Beale’s Revolution is discovering it seems that funds have dried up after splashing out on one transfer fee.
If Rangers were to completely infill the two corners and lower the pitch, and build some new tiers then Ibrox Stadium would have the capacity for approximately 164,000 spectators.

There are some suggestions that Bayern Munich will partly fund the exciting project but until that story is confirmed by The Rangers Review the chances are that the Tillman Arena will remain on the drawing board.
The stadium in that picture would hold a lot more than 164,000 ? that is ridiculous and clearly fake ??

Still only give Celtic 700 tickets.

Is that stadium built with pallets?

Ibrox related history eventually repeats itself: they never learn.
We had Minty’s Moonbeams of a floating pitch, casino, hotel, etc.
Today we have Bisgrove’s ‘Pish Troves’ of exciting, new promises for the future.
He’s a sales guy who will tell the bears whatever they want to hear.
But, at some point in the very near future, reality will inevitably strike at Ibrox,
AGAIN,
as it did on Valentine’s Day 2012. 🙂
…and if I had a fanny I’d be your auntie. The delusion has just gone into the stratosphere.
They can simply fund it with their credit line from their bank…..
Whit dae yae mean, How can a company that hus been trading fir 13 year and also, big Dave the lying king reject £25m fir his shares…. no huv a credit line fae a bank?
HH
Paying £1000+ plus for a season ticket in the top tiers and never seeing a game.
It will reach up to the moon by way of silver beams.
Liebrox talking about plans for Aye-brokes – and it’s been Die-brox once… Ach enough of this Brox – it’s The Bronx !!!
Surely the capacity is going to be…..
1690,000!!!
And there’s a waiting list of 3/4 of a million for season tickets apparently.
Nice multi storey for the beggar’s to pull in the money to pay for it.
I can also see it doing a Dave King, collapse like a deck of cards.
I remember an old song from Conway Twitty, it’s only make belief.
