Jim White 0 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Rangers have revealed they are 'willing to explore the possibility' of introducing a safe standing area at Ibrox. More... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Another pretty major problem that would need to be overcome is that TBO & UB singing section would need to be moved to wherever a safe standing section was created. It would be sheer madness to create a standing area in the Broomy Front and then hand it over to the Groin Brigade when they come to Ibrox. It seems to me that the only sensible place for a standing section would be the West Enclosure, but a lot of the fans with ST's in those sections won't be wanting to give up their seats in a hurry = major problem. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be restricted to one area, Zappa, least I wouldn't think so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but IF (and it's huge if) Craig Whyte decided to go ahead with doing it as part of a pilot scheme, it's quite likely that one area would be chosen, do you not think? My point is really just the difficulties involved in choosing the right area because of moving TBO & UB (or singing) section and the problems that will arise from fans who don't want to move to new seats somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmckgers 4 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 A lot of people I have been speaking to would like to see this section in Copland front but I just dont see that being realistic whatsoever. Whoever is responsible for this trial IF it happens, has a tonne of issues to consider and I am certain they wont please everyone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergatrude 0 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 They could ask fans opinions first? Not everyone will be happy, but at least they will have a general consensus. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Polls and surveys are completely meaningless. The club could put a short survey card on every seat at Ibrox for a home game so that they can ask fans a few relevant questions about safe standing area/s. I don't see how that would be meaningless unless they did it with no intention to actually collate the results. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how that would be meaningless unless they did it with no intention to actually collate the results. That's a very good idea in my opinion although I'm sure they'll be driven by feasability more than anything else. They might have a bit of a logistical problem if they get thousands of responses so an online survey might be better but let me see what I can do, I know the right people to ask. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Think we all know if this gets the go ahead it will be in one of the enclosures first hopefully the west so we can stick the Bheasts in there when they have to visit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
