Zappa 0 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 At the RST agm Stewart Robertson stated that a solar energy company were interested in putting solar panel on the roofs at Ibrox. He was not sure about the deal as one part of it was that they would need to publicise to all fans. Now that is seriously interesting! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Disagree regarding putting distance between 2013 and the Club now. 2012-2015 is part of our history. A painful part but one we shouldn't be forgetting easily. I just don't want to see the Club opening a museum so close to those events and at a time when the events are all so fresh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Making it solar powered would eat into a large part of that budget. I agree it would be great but unless it is hugely subsidised I can't see it being a part of that 450.000 estimate. I would think a good solar system with the needed power would be at least a quarter of that budget. I am no expert though. Solar panel systems have roughly halved in cost in the past few years pete. A system for a detached house which used to cost say £20k can now be bought and fitted for about £10k. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) One giant wind turbine that produces 4000KW should do the trick At Ibrox, we produce enough hot air to power it lol Edited February 21, 2016 by aweebluesoandso 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but at least everyone is focusing on the game and looking at the ball, pre match everyone is sitting/standing chatting during the warm up! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Ger_1872 2 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 What concerns me about this is the original proposal being priced at £1.2M then brought down to £440K. If this is to go ahead then I would have rather the RFFF had issued this to the contributors to the fund to seek approval, then give various proposals. If the desired option was one that cost more - then look at ways to cover the shortfall such as further fundraising or sponsorship. I would hate this to become a project that was designed and built to minimise costs just for the sake of being seen to be doing something that, from what it appears, isn't a real requirement. If the more expensive option would be nicer to look at and would meet a greater number of requirements for such a project - then I don't feel comfortable with the decisions being made over the areas to cut back being made without involving the support / contributors. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem is, I doubt there is any way to contact those who contributed . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iknow its only an outline drawing,however,if we are seriously looking to attract say---250-300 supporters to attend this stand,the toilet facilities for the punters surely cant be 5m from the dressing rooms and 1.5m from the refs door?Stick on proper lavvies at either end of the development and you are looking at say £100,000 over buget straight away. I suppose you could tell everyone to have a piss before they attend. Perhaps if its "invitation only" it might work. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
