Happyjag Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I'm at work and a few work mates are watching the rangers youth UEFA cup game currently being played at firhill. I know this will bring in needed cash but it is making a real mess of our park, I can't see what recompense we get being worth our park being dug up due to the weather. Also it wasnt so long ago they were tearing up the seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Firhill is our major asset, yet it is only generating revenue for around 20 days per year (this is one of the biggest issues facing the football industry) any way to generate more revenue has to be explored by the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Pitch is looking dreadful. Looks like fair amount of water on the surface down where it used to give us bother 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that mate, but with the amount of rain over the last few days the pitch will/has dug up badly. If the weather continues as predicted by the weekend it could be a real mess.

eljaggo Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Can someone explain to me why Rangers U19's can't use Ibrox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 There's no question the pitch will be anywhere decent by Friday. I suppose I'd care more if I thought we, as the higher tiered club, would be at a disadvantage. Sadly with our hoof the ball philosophy we may be at an advantage against a Raith side comfortable playing the ball on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I wonder how people would vote if given the option of a plastic pitch which would have an initial cost but then reduce costs as we could use it to train on, reserve games,etc or a grass pitch which suffers later in the season due to additional games played on it to generate income. We could have a grass pitch and only use it for our first team matches which would keep it in a much better condition but would need to find other ways to increase revenue.

Jimmy McD Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Would be very interested to know how much we were paid for the use of the park and facilities... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Who booked the deep end in the first half? Absolute nonsense. Let them dig up their own pitch! Unless, of course, it was waterlogged and it was a last-minute deal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would reluctantly accept a plastic pitch for the revenue generating benefits, less chance of matches off for adverse weather etc Might also give us a wee edge against visiting teams , we need all the help we can get at the moment!
