compo 6,141 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I’m sure I read somewhere that the club had plans to fill in the corners of the Govan stand anyone heard anything personally I don’t think they could afford it construction costs have went through the roof these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton_blows_goats 4,207 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I'm not an expert but i imagine demolishing the copland and broomie and rebuilding the stands to be like the Westfalenstadion might be the most cost effective option. Would be pricey but when we get that 150 million bid for Lammers from Man U we could afford it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate Ibrox to look like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall seeing somewhere the base designs were similar so that's why I picked that out. I'm not over fussed on aesthetics overall as long as we have the main stand in place 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not over fussed on aesthetics overall as long as we have the main stand in place The Westfalenstadium was the inspiration for modern Ibrox. Most stadiums were oval shaped with a running track whereas Westfalenstadium was 'square' with 4 separate stands each close to the pitch. Rangers directors visited Dortmund and were so impressed they chose that style of ground for the new Ibrox. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,836 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It was the Scotland v Zaire group match during the 1974 World Cup hosted by West Germany, the match took place in the Westfalenstadium in Dortmund. My old man took me as a reward for gaining access to University, we were standing outside when Willie Waddell passed as part of the SFA party. The perceived wisdom is that Waddell on returning to Glasgow persuaded the Directors to model the new Ibrox on the Dortmund stadium. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
