Huge plans for Edmiston House

[Stevie - 4lads Blog 922]

t the moment the club are currently heavily looking into what to do with Edmiston house

These plans include a proper ticket office, a Museum and a huge cafe

It is unclear whether they will knock it down and start again or completely revamp it, it is currently undergoing treatment for Asbestos 

Plans for the Museum are hugely encouraging, there is now a staff member hired to collate & catalogue every bit of material within Ibrox - from medals to scrap books etc - this is ongoing 

Although definite plans haven’t been concluded & studies are ongoing, big plans to give the club the platform it deserves for these things, are most definitely underway 

The boards promises continue to be carried out

(Thought it was worth sharing, especially news on museum becoming more than just lip service)

Great news.

 

We could do with all three of these things.

 

I hope it is a new build.

Onward and upward maybe even a wee social club were the fans can have a refreshment before a match .

Excellent - would prefer they knocked it down and started again but clearly cost is a factor - especially with regard to the legacy problems.

Sometimes it works out cheaper to knock down and rebuild due to the hidden costs when refurbishing.

I do hope they clear away the existing barn of a building and create something worthy of the club.

Top priority should be to rehouse the ticket office away from those old portacabins

Remember it used to be Rangers Club,another part of history ruined by greedy people with hands in the till.

You could get in for a pint on match days with a member but a tie had to be worn.

I was a member and seen a few decent shows on some Saturday nights.

Aye I remember that too Mack. I think that whole building was eventually owned by Response handling as a call centre, which was another of Murray’s companies. I can’t remember why the Rangers club closed?

It was being run relatively successfully under Ian Armstrong and Sylvia but when Armstrong 'left', the new guy just wasn't as good at getting a crowd in and I think people's tastes were changing and the use of the club fell away.
