INTERVIEW | James Bisgrove | Incoming CEO

[@ml6cut463]

Listen the guy produced everything he promised in the past , so i think hes the right man to push us on. Great drive and vision and the Ibrox campus is taking shape superbly.

This man deserves a lot of credit . When he came in our commercial revenue was only 8m our commercial revenue is now 28m a %250 increase this is solely down to james bisgrove,s hard word and commitment to our club since he joined Rangers 4 years ago .

I didnt realise he worked for UEFA. Safe standing is a great way to increase capacity and ticket income. Maybe it is time to find a way to move the tv screens to the other corners and fill in the cornerd full to the roof.

[@jacksonbow2766]

@@hedley9417 nothing is impossible but I am interested to know what you know. Why is it structurally impossible?

[@jamesbuchanan8633]

Yes he has worked mainly in Sponsorship management in the past for sporting events / organisations including Uefa, Emirates and Team Marketing AG. Lots of experience for a young man.

[@jacksonbow2766]

@@hedley9417 of course it would require some deconstruction. Take the roofs off where you need to and then refab. It used to be my bread and butter in the real world mate. Designed and fabricated many a building in my time. Worked sode by sode with structural engineers. It would cost more money to put seats in those 2 corners than ot would to put TV screens in the other corners. The biggest hurdle the club would face is getting it signed off because our main stand is a listed building.

[@jacksonbow2766]

@@hedley9417 I may be competely wrong bevause I have never seen the building plans or been involved in any strucutral design of it. I would imagine a cantelever truss system could be installed first then the internal structural columns behind the screens can be removed. It would mean putting in some new heavy duty columns behind the stands to support the cantelever system but thats not difficult. A bit of work sure but not needs 100s of million. I have been out of that game for a few years so not sure what the prices are and what effect Brexit has had on CE marking etc. There may be new hoops to jump through now. You are right though, it will all come down to money, if the club cannot afford it then they wont do it.

Rangers fans and board should except and publilcly acknowladge Cetic have been the benchmark both on and off the pitch for the last 20 years. Fergus Mccan Tommy Burns Martin O"Neil all understood that Celtic at times (in the past) were well behind Rangers. They looked at the challenge and spoke with honesty about it. Rangers have never been able to do that. Support are too staunch. Dont mean this as a troll.

[@ianmeechan2040]

Good vibe about the appointment. I hope he can support the disabled supporters as every year when I watch the AGM seems to come up again. I'd love him to be able to come up with a plan to increase the capacity of the ground. I know there have been discussions in the past but there seems to be no way that's possible.

I'm happy that the club are prepared to engage directly with the fans on a regular basis, maybe this might shut up some muppets who phone into radio stations accusing people at Ibrox of 'stealing money' and wanting the board to resign anytime Celtic beat us and to sell their shares to non Rangers fans for our club to become some companies sporting subsidiary.
