Now my boy is 5 and il consider starting to take him, i moved from BF to MF because of the standing (and the bogs tbh). He simply wouldn’t see a thing in my old seat.
Ive been there and the view is absolutely fine imo,the only issue is if you are down at the front where you are basically at ankle level with the players.
I think that's a good point, but we're now looking at around 30 years of the all-seater ruling and people have become accustomed to that. I think the only solution is for grounds to have safe standing areas. However, no matter the rules about remaining seated, the urge to get up out of the seat when there's a possible goal coming is pretty instinctive and there's no chance of stopping that.
I was south upper having almost always been west stand and we got lucky. Left and right of us were people standing but in front of us was clear so we sat. On leather seats noe the less. It was tremendous.
Same, once I moved it was genuinely the best seat I've ever had there. Pity the rest of the stadium doesn't match up.
They do now and it isn't going to stop.
Most folk prefer to sit,its you who should find an alternatve way to see the game.
The reality is that Ibrox would be completely silent without the UB's. And it has been on occassions when they have withdrawn their singing, for various reasons.
I was South Stand Lower and we were all standing. Out of courtesy I always sit if anyone in the few seats behind me is seated. It's just about having some common decency for our fellow supporters. I think it's also fair to say that the atmosphere is always better when standing at Ibrox but that's possibly because we only stand when it's Europe or Celtic in the SJF.
I've never seen anyone stand for any length of time at Ibrox and I sit in the Main Stand Rear. Seems a bit of a bizarre reason to give up a season ticket.
In fairness in the past people who needed to or wanted to sit would go to the seat area main stands in grounds.
Your attitude towards people who have been following Rangers for decades is shameful.
Stewarding at football is a joke. They do nothing other than direct you to your seat. Might as well not be there
Everyone who wants to sit can’t fit into the South Stand.
What did people do before seats were installed? Crowds of 100,000 all standing.
Totally agree. The standing is a joke.
I understand that but some folk are unable to stand for 90 mins plus it makes it difficult for children to see much of the game.
Think this is a fair point. Grew up standing at every game, because that's just the way it was. Didn't bother me then and doesn't bother me now. Stood for 90 mins at Hampden on Sunday and at Ibrox for the OF a couple of weeks ago. Can sympathise with those who can't obviously. Less sympathy for those who are just too lazy. If you have half the crowd wanting to stand, the other half either need also to stand, or can't see, or get involved in an argument. So surely easier just to stand if you can?
That's probably still too complicated for some on here.
They're not the only one's that matter obviously.
If everyone in front of me is standing, then I’m standing too so that I can see, whether you’re behind me or not
Me too mate.
I agree with your first point and disagree with your second. I don't think there's a majority that want to stand for every game. As for your third point it seems a bit strange that you "can't wait" for arguments between Rangers fans. It's going to take some getting used to having a singing section next to us, but as long as they keep the flags down like they've agreed to then the only time people's sight should be impacted is when the ball is in the opposite corner of the pitch.
Our support has on the whole stood for every game at Hampden since 2015 mate, it's not going to change.
