Talk:Ibrox Stadium

message: Taking on board that fans of Rangers are claiming thatbthe club wasnt infact liquidated but the club and assets sold to Sevco5088, Sevco Scotland and then Rangers international, wouldnt then Rangers International be the owners and not Rangers as Rangers where part of the asset purchase just as the stadium was ? Or are you just gonna continue to pretend as you go alongblike yourve done for the past 18 months ?

thread_title: Owner Status ?

message: I've tried to do a fairly extensive tidy of the page, restructuring it, making various additions and adding citations.  Looking at some of the other pages on UK football grounds, I think three things could usefully be added:
1. There needs to be more detailed info on the current capacity of the stands.  The figures I've included are estimates.  For example, the capacity of the Copland was increased from the original 7,500 when the blue seats were added and seating and passageways realigned.  
2. A plan of the stadium would be a valuable addition.
3. Ideally, there would be more on attendances .  This could include a season-by-season outline of averages (see Goodison Park, for example).  It could also include something about large crowds, and in particular the significant number of 100,000+ attendances.  Stockton 12:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Recent overhaul of the Ibrox page and what's needed

message: During my stay in Glasgow I was told that the "new" Ibrox Stadium was architecturally modelled after Dortmund's Westfalenstadion because the planners so liked the layout without the athletics track, which put the supporters very close to the action. (The obvious differences being that Ibrox is built of much nicer looking red bricks instead of dull prefab concrete, and besides has a lower capacaity due to the later expansions of the Dortmund statium.)
Can anybody confirm this?

thread_title: Modelled after Dortmund stadium?

message: Although I have an exterior shot of the Copland Road stand (dull), I think it would be better to have an inside view, ideally of gameplay. If anyone has (or can find) a usable one, whether old or new, that would make a great addition. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 20:32, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Need another photo

message: "one of only 12 other" - does this mean that there are 13 including Ibrox (in which case "one of only 13 stadiums..." would be better, I think) or one of 12 (in which case "one of only 12 stadiums..." would be better). -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 18:04, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: How many five star stadia?

message: Reference is needed to the changing physical shape of the stadium, and to its capacity.  There needs to be mention of the 118,000+ attendance, and that it is a British (and European?) record for a club league game. From about 1981 (with the completion of the Govan) until circa. 1990, it would have had more seats than any other UK club ground.
Need also to contextualise the 70s/80s redevelopment, and Waddell's response to the Disaster.

thread_title:  stadium capacity and records 

message: According to www.englandstats.com the Scotland v England match on 2 April 1892 was played at Ibrox Park. As the article states that the stadium was opened in 1899, can anyone explain this apparent discrepancy. Was there an earlier stadium, or was Ibrox Park a different place? 
As far as I can see, the only other Scotland v England game played here was the ill-fated game on 5 April 1902. Daemonic Kangaroo 06:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There was an Ibrox Park, on a site adjacent to the present one, between 1887 and 1899. Opened 5 August 1887 (Rangers 1v8 Preston NE), closed 9 December 1899. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 21:24, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scotland v England matches 

message: I've removed the reference to re-turfing the pitch in 2007.  This isn't really of significance in relation to the stadium's historical development.  The pitch has been (and will conttinue to be) relaid countless times.  Stockton 12:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relaying the pitch 

message: I saw this pic (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44337000/jpg/_44337440_ibrox203.jpg) and wondered what the full sentence written in the seats was. Perhaps it may be useful to include the answer in the article.  slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 13:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Recent changes

message: This set of changes isn't productive. The current UEFA status of Ibrox isn't sourced - it was five-star, but nobody's come up with a definitive list of the grounds covered by the new Elite status and Ibrox doesn't have the 70,000 capacity given at UEFA Elite stadium to host a current Champions League final. Furthermore, the stuff about having the atmosphere of the ground is unsourced personal opinion. This should be reverted. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 20:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  UEFA five star status, atmosphere 

message: I was looking at this page, after the transfer from the Ranger's page, and noticed that it was scheduled to be deleted in 7 days.....Having been to Ibrox on a vacation from the US, i can say that the comments that were used to ask for the deletion, were purely vindictive, and were in no way, actually talking about the article itself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.93.2.57 (talk) 08:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
