IMO, the plan was always to move back into Hampden.

I thought the reason for Lesser Hampden rebuild was for QP.

Then I suspect they got above their station and seeing themselves in the Premier, they had to explore getting the dump on rental.

 

I personally have time for the ****s and wish them repeated relegations.

I am sure when Celtic under McCann played at Hampden for a year they paid a flat fee of £1million. Quite a while ago so would be interested to know how much Queens Park pay and how much TRFC will be charged

That was nigh on 30 years ago any figure anywhere near that amount would be a total travesty, Then again it is the GFA we are discussing:sterb032:

Still no confirmation on Sevco's pitch arrangement for a season that kicks off in a few days time. It does look like they'll desecrate Hampden with their bile and hatred which at least spares Edinburgh from having to put up with them.

Their bigoted knuckle dragging support must be getting a bit anxious that it could cost the millions they need to compete with Celtic, all the time conscious it was them walking away that let Rangers die. Celtic on other hand will be rubbing hands together at the prospect of Champions League monies filling their coffers.

Thankfully no Hearts supporter gives a toss either way as both sides are equally as repulsive as each other, with no redeeming factor for either of them.

Rangers update - still no indication when the work will be complete.

 

RANGERS can confirm that it is in the final stages of negotiations with the Scottish FA to secure Hampden Park as its temporary home until the Ibrox works are complete.

Chairman John Bennett has issued the following statement: “First I’d like to apologise on behalf of the club for the uncertainty that this delayed project has caused to our season ticket holders, hospitality clients, partners and the wider support of this football club.

"The number of variables in this situation has made it extremely difficult to bring the one thing we all crave – certainty.

“Nevertheless, we are closing in on the most immediate solution - a suitable venue at which to fulfil our fixtures and house our support.

"While the ongoing delay means that the club is unable to fix a date for our return to Ibrox, we anticipate that this will become clearer upon delivery of the necessary materials to Glasgow.

“Rangers thanks the Scottish FA and the SPFL for their strong support in working to this solution.

“The club wholeheartedly appreciates the continued patience of our supporters while we work through this most trying of situations.

“I intend to give a fuller, personal update by the end of July.”

It seems to me like while they have been constructing the new section its become apparent there is issues with the existing structure hence the delays and no real timeline.

 

Architects & Surveyors ain't cheap and aint quick.

 

Edit . . . For balance, Celtic are Jobbys.

Yep, bad enough we have them through for friendly against Manchester United. That alone will require deep cleaning on Murrayfield to clean up the stench of their support.

Can't imagine any hearts supporter has the slightest sympathy for Sevco or their support.

They are, but they continue to support the same shit as their predecessors, something the Sevco fans can't manage.

Shame.

 

We really need a big club like rangers to hit the ground running so they can "challenge " for the league.

 

Really not good to have one of our biggest club disadvantaged, won't help the competitiveness of the league.

Hopefully the sfa charge them a nominal fee as charging a hefty fee will disadvantage them even more than the additional costs already are.

 

Unsettling for their fans as well, it's a real shame.

Think of the children,  sorry " waynes".

Their fans aren't happy that there will be no refunds for games played at Hampden, which will be inconvenient for some.

 

I don't know what the legal situation is for fans. Their ST conditions will allow for changes to ko times and match days. However I'd be pretty sure they will have entered into a contract to access specific seats/stands at Ibrox, but not at any other stadium of the club's choosing.

 

I'm sure some fans will object to being relocated to what they view as the "Celtic end".

They have no choice, so suck it up you Hun F***’s. I, and anyone who isn’t a Hun, couldn’t give a flying **** about your predicament.

More importantly, I can't face the prospect of watching us get beat by Rangers again at Hampden this year so they better get the stadium sorted by Nov 9th.

Surely an extra opportunity to beat them there and put a marker down for 'Neutral' games there 🙂

nor any apology to the other clubs impacted by their incompetence. Shouldn't expect that though it's only ever about them.

Impacted in what way? If anything, it gives other clubs a better chance on a surface that both clubs will be new to.

the more you post the more you convince me that your loyalties most definitely live along the M8. If your beloved are indeed impacted then you'll just have to take the same advice as you fling at everyone else - dry your eyes and get over it. 🤷‍♂️

I remember the seats me and the wife were allocated by the club during our Murrayfield "holiday" they were chronic but I can't remember if we could have moved or not.

I would suggest the sheer arrogance they showed towards another club in the league who had ground issues last season, demanding apologies and games to be forfeited as well as compensation rather than working in a conciliatory manner is probably not helping here. 
 

You could almost argue not being able to start their season at their ground despite the work being planned is more ‘negligent and unprofessional’ than anything Dundee did. 
 

But I’d be surprised if you acknowledged that.

The Huns never acknowledge or admit anything.

They accused Dundee of embarrassing Scottish football, probably white they knew their own stadium was a death trap (yet again).

They then sell tickets for said death trap.

Then release a statement, days before the start of the new season, saying we don't have any news on our stadium.

Dundee FC have had multiple issues with their pitch, which DID affect other clubs. The two situations are in no way comparable.

We quite rightly were criticised when our main stand was not ready on time due to seats not being ordered. Do you not think The Rangers should be criticised in the same manner?

As a newco, they are still finding their feet and must be given some sort of allowance, however the WATP brigade really should know better.

A Hun will always be a Hun and therefore always think the the league revolves around them and the governing body should duly oblige at the detriment of everyone one else.

 The Hun f***** up, accept your mistake, and eat some humble pie, otherwise you should accept whatever the decision is as long as the other clubs and their supporters agree.

Its only the Hun supporters that suffer here so all is good, last minute organising makes it even more uncomfortable for them.

 

That's what happens when you let your club i suppose. Oh well.

If TRFC have to play 5 homes games at Hampden is that only League games?  If you add in Euro games, plus League Cup games depending on the draw then it could be many more.  All we need is some bad weather, the pitch gets cut up and then does that not effect Scotland games given the possible poorer condition of the playing surface?  Steve "where is he by the way" Clarke will not be a happy bunny.

Playing Rangers at Hampden is already an uphill task. Imagine playing them in the semi of the league cup this November when it'll be exactly like a home game for them.

Why will it be like a home game? And if it is, does that mean when we play them at Ibrox that we'll have a chance on a surface that they haven't played on for months?

Looks like Hampden for Sevco then. Could be three games in league, could be more. For a new club, they haven't half made a mess of updating the old Rangers stadium. 

I'm sure their knuckle dragging bigoted support, certainly those that used to be Rangers supporters, will manage to bring their usual chorus of sectarianism to the National stadium although it will be interesting if they treat it better than other grounds that aren't theirs.

Let's hope their ground repair bill continues to be a milestone round the new clubs neck for a while yet. Unlikely they'll die though, that would be really careless if they followed the previous inhabitants of Ibrox to the grave although I'm sure a new version of Sevco would arise. 

Wonder if the support would walkaway again? Probably would, they can't have much loyalty to a club that is only about 12/13 years old.

Thank goodness we got ourselves organised and didn't allow our club to suffer the same fate.

The same way as when we drew hibs in the cup semi. It was mooted that the game be moved to murrayfield so it was closer for both set of supporters, but hibs vetoed it, as we had used it as our home ground, so would be at an advantage.

In what way is that the same as Rangers using Hampden instead of Ibrox? Genuine question.
