Tannochsidebear 2,516 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It probably is a worthwhile thing for us to be getting involved in, but I can't help thinking that the local residents who continually complain to the police and councillors are just bitter haters that want to make things as difficult as possible for our club and our supporters. One thing I was glad to hear and has been something I have been going on about for years is the match-DAY experience for fans. Anyone who has been to professional American sports (NFL, MLB), will know that they see matches as a whole day event, where the club can be earning money all day from the fans not just at game time. Fanzones, street football, kids areas, bars, better choice of food outlets, more and better merchandising outlets (subject to SD deal at the moment obviously). Make fans want to arrive at Ibrox hours before kick-off and spend the whole day there. To do this right and to change supporters attitudes on this will take a generation (not a SNP generation, a proper one!), so the sooner we get started the better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,915 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I was at a meeting(possibly RST?) where Stewart Robertson stated that he had spoken to a councillor who told him that the club had not approached him or the council on any matter for years. SR went on to say that the club should be in dialogue with the council. This should have happened many years ago, does not matter which parties are in control. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The club needs appropriate licences to be granted for some of the pre match entertainment so it makes sense to scratch the back of the council in anticipation of a reciprocal scratch. With all of those stakeholders on board I'm hoping we get the necessary permissions to implement some of the ideas for next season. They've set the expectations with such publicity so it's time to deliver on them. Should be a really positive improvement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,951 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I think this liaison is with a view to stadium footprint improvements ahead of 2022. Edited March 30, 2017 by Frankie 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannochsidebear 2,516 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 That headline in the Evening Times is exactly what I knew the media would print, and is taking the whole thing completely out of context. Fan behaviour was a minor point and our fans were backed by Robertson. Whoever attended the press conference and wrote that on behalf of the ET should have their press pass for Ibrox rescinded immediately. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The idea is correct, being good neighbours is a sound policy, but that video is horrendous. Ibrox dirty, awful, scary? bang!! someone just shot the club in the foot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
