James Bisgrove has been feeding moonbeams to the Gullible & Deluded at an Ibrox Fan Forum.
Loyal Bears were invited to New Edmiston House last night to hear the plans of the newly installed CEO who approved Micky Beale’s summer spending spree.
The annual change of manager followed by the bounce that follows has kept the bears onside with no hard questioning of the colossal waste of money with players like Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers on massive contracts for the next four seasons.
Since the turn of the century there has been very little spent on maintenance at Ibrox but once a year they like to flag up exciting new plans for a stadium badly in need of basic improvements.
Covering last night’s event The Sun reports:
RANGERS are investigating two major moves that could dwarf neighbours Celtic.
Chief executive James Bisgrove confirmed the club was considering early ideas of an ambitious stadium expansion plan which could eventually take the Ibrox capacity over Celtic Park’s.
Currently the Light Blues’ home on the southside of the city is the fourth biggest sports arena in Scotland – behind Murrayfield, Celtic Park and Hampden.
However outline plans for ways to increase the current 51,000 seat selection have been discussed behind the scenes.
One includes making the stands behind each goal bigger – and lifting the overall stadium capacity by 37 PER CENT.
Numbers being thrown around could add between 8000 and 10,000 seats on each side to take overall audience figures beyond 70,000.
Since Celtic Park was completed in 1998 there has been regular moonbeams from Ibrox about lifting their capacity above the 60,000 seater across the city.
Three of the roofs at Ibrox were built in the early eighties with no prospect of removing them and continuing to keep the stadium in use.
To build up you need to dig down, close to the water table at the River Clyde the moonbeams will continued for years to come with neither the finances or technology available to do anything beyond squeezing another 2,000 seats into both corners at the side of the Sandy Jardine Stand.
Sevco-is there a stupider fanbase on this planet?
As I question sevco’s stupidness, I feel rather stupid myself for actually questioning sevco’s stupidity..!
Yes our very own,who continues to shiw up every week selling out the stadium with board laughing all the way to bank with cash without any proper money being given to manager to buy his own players.
LIEWELL&Co are back with both feet under the table pissing themselves laughing at our support(yes we have them the same as sevco) handing over the cash for season tickets and champions league packages.
Or are we stupid for allowing them to be at least at arms length, where with the help of officials and clobbers they might just win the league.
Stadium expansion p!sh talk?
That means only one thing:
another Share Issue must be in the pipeline! 🙂
The hun hack who wrote the highlighted article showing everybody in the first line how much it totally irks him that we’ve got a bigger capacity
IF,IF,IF – COULD,COULD,COULD…
The good old if & could brigade –
Jeez – The Scottish Sun – Sevco ‘could’ dwarf Celtic… (out came the false teeth with that one) !
If your auntie had balls she’d be your uncle – but she hasn’t so she ain’t…
A gutter rag for the gutter readership that purchase it –
The above line extends to the few Celtic supporters that still do I’m afraid !
I told people at videocelts and the Celtic blog no more stories about sevco just now while we are walking about with a SORE ARSE after that result last night.
Let’s get our own house in order before we start laughing at sevco again.
Some people would even call this article a SQUIRREL STORY to try and deflect and take the sting out of that SKELPING last night.
Sfa or queen’s park who ever owns Hampden Wil let them have it rent free while they build it like they did with Celtic ????
We are only club that is capable of building more seats we go to 72,000 any time we like and we should have long ago there no structure issues for us we have plenty room and our ground is a real structure not 4 desperate stands like the cespit is much like st. Johnstone is Ibrox but bigger , we only have to rebuil a stand to make our ground symetrical and have 72,000 we have the waiting list and fans to fill it most weeks get it done, I said this for 2 decades, and any real visionaries on that board would done this long ago we have plenty money not bieng spent on the team so spend it on the stadium as those corners and that main stand with those poles are embarrassing and we could do all this in 1 year to 18 months and blow every club away but this board don’t want and they need removed as last night again showed
An article about increasing capacity at Ipox…?? …Really Joe…??…I don’t give a flying feck about this shithole…We have more to worry us…Had to say this.
Increasing Ipox capacity, am I trapped in a time warp, someone please tell me.
Heading towards my 69th birthday and Deja Vu strikes again.
There are mutant orcs who were not even born when floating pitches and 6,000,000 capacity Casino’s. Were on the drawing table, except it were a 4 year table at a nursery.
