Bears 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm going up top Ibrox for lunch today. I'll try and see if i can get a chat with the Stadium manager again and see what is going on with the upgrades to the stadium. He's normally a chatty guy and keen to let us know what's going on. For the record he "says" he has no clue about actually player in and outs so i don't even bother him with that, but when it comes to the stadium, he's not backwards about going forwards. Obviously if there is any good pictures to be taken of new improvements i'll snap them off and post them on here 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Good man - looking forward to any updates. If possible, can you get him to clarify who is paying for the catering stuff. Is it Elior (as he said previously) or the club (as they seemed to indicate the other week)? Some news on the large screen tender would be great as well. Many thanks! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say to me before Mr Whyte took over his company was spending �£1.7M on brand new Kiosks and doing the concourses up. No much you can do to the concourses other than a lick of paint and new TV's which is what i suspect will happen. I did say to him that the food and kiosks were a down side to Ibrox and he did agree. I suspect with the work going on he wont be in Argyle house though as he will be on the job elsewhere in the stadium. But i'll see what is what as i am sure there will be a gate open in one of the stand for access for workers so i will try sneak in 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Here's pics form Ibrox today. the new pitch is down and there's a lot of people working. At one point there was 30(ish) people around the stands doing various jobs from cable running, jet washing the stands and walkways, painting, and general cleaning up. The only solid bit of info i got was the Govan kiosks are getting ripped out right now http://imageshack.us/g/402/p1020808g.jpg/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 New speakers would maybe suggest that there's been a whole new sound system installed, which is fantastic news if true because the old one sounded absolutely terrible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, i think that's a given mate. it'll be custom built for the acoustics in Ibrox 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just replacing the speakers in Ibrox wouldn't have been cheap. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just replacing the speakers in Ibrox wouldn't have been cheap. Not for a system in a stadium. You need amps and cabling to suit the speakers mate. It's not like buying off the shelf in Tandy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like buying off the shelf in Tandy That's why I said the new speakers would suggest that a whole new sound system is being installed. Not sure what your Tandy comment is about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Good sound systems don't come cheap. Hope they didn't get ripped off for cheap shite. ..... The 64 million dollar question is - what's the food going to be like? Spaghetti alla puttanesca at half time? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
