    Self guided tour with a headset, someone does accompany you round. Is interesting to see behind the scenes but shows how small our stadium is.

      Sounds absurd to me, listening to canned commentary instead of the flesh and blood person accompanying you.
      Banning people is no longer my hobby,
      but take a look at my photo blog:

        Went with the brother in law and my two boys aged 9 and 10. It started at 10am and lasted just over an hour which meant a 4 hour wait until kick off, which we weren't looking forward too. However it all worked out ok.
        It gave us time to pop up to the Uxbridge Road for some scoff before going back to the ground for 12.45 so the kids could get some autographs as the players arrived, then a good look round the clubshop whilst it was quiet, before going to our seats in the lower loft, by which time it was 2 o'clock and the hour flew by.

        The tour itself was good, very good. Was amazed at how many were there. Must have been between 50 - 60 of us, we had to split into two groups.

        My group was shown around by a chap who met us at the reception door (can't remember his name unfortunately) would guess he was in his late 50's, early 60's and from the East End, yet a life long Rangers fan.
        I think I'm right in saying he doesn't actually get paid to do them, he just gets expenses. Shame, because he alone made it well worth the £15.
        He was entertaining, informative and clearly enjoyed being there even though he has probably done dozens of them. He told us lots of little snippets of info that you wouldn't get with a pre recorded, self guided tour.

        Despite my reservations beforehand I would definitely recommend the guided tour as we all had a really good time. Was well worth the money and glad I went.
        Great post, makes me want to do it again. Well worth the inconvenience and the money, and especially good for kids as it gives them a feeling of belonging to the club which helps fend off the lure of ManU, Chel*** etc.
