Ibrox is the REAL paradise - soccer24-7.com Forums

Got this from the Gers forum. I liked it so I thought i'd post it here.

Ibrox interior

Parkhead interior

Ibrox exterior

Parkhead exterior

I mean, just compare the two! I always knew Ibrox was a better all round stadium but i've never been to Parkhead so I didn't expect their place to be that bad. But Jesus, whoever gave it the nickname 'paradise' must've been on drugs.

Camera angles & lighting affects are to blame for the picture differences

You're right. It's difficult to get a good camera angle of a place surrounded by a desolate wasteland!

And the lighting? Well, when a place is lit like the service ducts of an ethylene plant you're bound to agree.

Cheers for the update! I had tried looking on the proper uefa site but couldn't find anything.

Rossco · May 4 2005, 01:59 AM

hahha rangers may be 5 star and celtic 4, but they photos are absolute shi.t! thats like takin a pic of the celtic toilets and the directors box at ibrox and comparing them...

our atmosphere is better anyway

RFCno1Scotty · May 4 2005, 05:03 AM

a should bloody hope so when it's got 10,000 more supporters, telling me if Ibrox was ever extended to 60,000 your atmosphere would be better, kiss ma arse their the same.

As for both stadiums, their both quality and a live just down the road from Celtic Park man it stands out from the actual area itself.

Well, UEFA say otherwise because they rate it 4 Star

coatsy · May 4 2005, 12:20 PM

the current UEFA listing doesn't have celtic park as a 4* stadium.it's not listed at all.i do know for a fact that it takes a fortune to maintain as it was built on the cheap.

TZI · May 4 2005, 12:23 PM

Been to both stadiums, thought Parkhead was better and thought it was a 5-star stadium personally, ohwell

Unbiased view there. Ibrox was dull, Parkhead was not. Ibrox's facilites must be much better than Parkhead I guess.

When UEFA were looking at our 3 main stadia for hosting European Finals, which I believe you must have 5*, Celtic Park was givin 4* :USA_Blue

I can't remember exactly but things like the dressing rooms had to be upgraded before it could become 5* stadia, other things as well were no doubt needing improving but I can't remember exactly.

I seen somewhere they are too small for UEFA's liking, then again you can fit John Hartson in them

**Gunners/Gers** · May 4 2005, 12:34 PM

I was on some tour at Hampden i think they mentioned Celtic Park being a 4 star because of dressing rooms. Im also sure they said it was getting upgraded to a 5 star soon, but i hope im wrong

oh look!no celtic park.

I don't care about that list, it came from UEFA that Celtic Park was 4* when they looked at our stadia for Euro Finals

coatsy · May 4 2005, 12:41 PM

'i don't care about that list'

so when facts are produced,you choose not to believe it.typical tim trait.
