Seeing as this is a rumour site I thought I would share a rumour with you all! I have heard that the Main Stand is riddled with asbestos and they cannot access/ maintain the heating pipes without removing the asbestos first. This could cost millions, but unless done, parts of the Main Stand could be closed in 2017 as the safety certificates will not be signed off. This is from a pal of mine who works with asbestos. Hope it's just a rumour, but thought I would share.

Sure this was a favourite rumour on the other mobs site. AGM coming up, maybe someone will ask the question.

It's a known fact Ibrox has Asbestos in it, which their is nothing wrong with. However if it was an issue that things couldn't have maintenance done due to the asbestos it would have been highlighted at some point in the last 16 years.

Bigad how have they been accessing/ maintaining the pipes up until now this is another filed under bs.

In response to Bigar, I have also heard a similar story regarding the roofs at ibrox. I have also heard that Glasgow City Council have been out to carry out an inspection, what the outcome was I don't know. So there may be some truth in this.

Asbestos is not an issue. We've just had it removed from our Church. Two options . if you can afford to, remove it completely. If not, use tradesmen who are trained and qualified to work in an area where there is asbestos. (i. e. with breathing masks, etc) .
Just another rumour from the dark side who are gutted that we haven't gone away!

Guys I have worked with asbestos and it can stay in place and be coated with a special rubber paint
Its only dangerous when its broken and gives off dust particles.
We boxed in an old asbestos garage roof last summer without any problems as we did not disturb the sheets.

I can assure you its not that simple Stuart.

Asbestos is only an issue if broken, I work with removal and management of asbestos daily. U will find asbestos in any plant room or pipework lagging of a building that age so totally not a problem, as long as it can be managed safely there is no need for removal.
As for the roof! That's not asbestos and y would Glasgow city council be checking it out? It's not a council building.
Crock of scaremongering nonsense.

I don't know anything about asbestos, just passing on what I've been told. thebear82, I hope it is bs.

Very much is BS, Asbestos is far more common than you think. it's also a lot more containable than people think. This is a bs story no doubt started by the darkside.

Asbestos is only harmaful once disturbed. easy option is put in new pipes and use alternative route. easy peasy people. cost peanuts.

Many, perhaps all, insurance companies will pay a chunk of asbestos removal as it is the cheaper of all of the options eg allowing it to downgrade to a dangerous state or the cost allowing so white van chancer to say they can do it, so I think the cost is manageable unless we has stinted on the insurance premiums!

I don't even think we see the best of him as a sitting midfielder. He was the only one driving us forward the other night, could be a real good box to box midfielder with the right coaching.

If it is to be Stevie G, what about Alex Miller as his No.2?

I've heard this as well, that Ashley is poised to make a play. Wants to get Sports Direct brand on the European stage and has given up on this happening with Newcastle. Have heard it's Billy Davies he wants to bring in though.

Dorrans IS signing. Should be done by the weekend! Source is an SFA community coach who has given me good info before.

I don't see what Waghorn has done wrong, he's hardly gone nose to nose with the boy. This is a complete non story in my opinion.

Shinnie should be in the squad ahead of McGinn. Wee Chesney will pick Championship players when it suits him!

I'm pretty sure that over the next 2 transfer windows that a few more players will be brought in. Look at the value for money we've had out of Warburton's signings already. I fully trust the manager, and i'm sure the board will back him if he has specific targets in mind. These won't be big name, big bucks signings. They will be players who are young, hungry and coachable.

Now that was a long sentence! Shiels was shortlisted for SPL Player of the Year a few years back so don't understand how he can't be good enough for Premier League. Still trying to understand why people try and pick holes in every statement the club/manager makes. We are going in the right direction, have some patience and support the team!
