The Moonlighter 387 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 24th March 1887 Rangers required funds to help with the move from Kinning Park to First Ibrox subsequently a committee was formed which was chaired by Tom Vallance. The ‘’Monstre Concerts’’ which were organised proved to be extremely popular and quickly sold out. The outlets shown at the bottom of the advert show that tickets could be purchased from Harry and Peter McNeil’s shop on Union Street , and from George Gillespie and James Watson who both played in that legendary series of games that was the 1877 Scottish Cup Final. This was the lads who’d formed our Club, and others from our early years, fund-raising to help their dream become a reality. The Waterloo Rooms stood on the corner of Waterloo Street and Wellington Street. In 1910 it became The Alhambra Theatre which was demolished in 1971. Today it’s the Alhambra House office block. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonlighter 387 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 The funds raised saw the Rangers achieve their dream. The move along Paisley Road to Ibrox ,and somewhere they could at long last call home, was achieved. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
