It's my understanding that this summer, Arsenal plan to incorporate the old clock from
Highbury's Clock End into the Emirates.
It would be nice if we could still have the Rolex Clock from the Stratton Bank, included in
the CG redevelopment.
It should be included, renamed the Matty Hewlett memorial clock and have a bronze statue of our answer to Wayne Bridge hoofing a bronzed ball over it/into it |

Some great stadiums there. Thinking specifically about STFC, some of the smaller French grounds on page 2 of that thread would be quite nice templates.

That stand opposite the big one at Troyes is exactly like the DRS. the rest would be a god blueprint i reckon.

And it's got poplar trees... These grounds are all well and good, but the CG isn't exactly terrible and does meet most of our needs...what it lacks is the 7 day a week usage. Nobody seems to be addressing this issue. |

Ok, we haven't discussed it much, but I think we all know the ground needs certain facilities. People are just concerned that it's going to look exactly the same as every other ground that's been built recently, hence th discussion about design. |

I might be wildly wrong here, but I don't think innovative design is going to be at the forefront of this project. More as much bang for your buck as possible. |

I like the feel of Tynecastle, the mother in law lives a stones throw from there and it has a nice feel to the whole ground, very compact with nice views from all round the new stands.
20k would be perfect for a club of our size and the feel is still almost "old school" with having square corners and not rounded stands in the corners.
As stated above the extra arched entrance way would add some good room for extra facilities not club related, such as hotel, gym, shopping etc.
A nice vision and one I would love Swindon to also adopt.
JJ correctly covered the question of extra facilities.Why couldn't we see this around the outside of the DRS, safeguarding the trees and greenery on the inside,with facilities on the outer edge and also behind a new Town End stand. |

I've actually been to Reims and to the cathedral in the background.
Stadium looks neat and tidy.Champagne area of France.

I'm sort of ashamed to say, i've been to most of the bars there, but never the ground or the cathedral.

I've been on a stag weekend to Reims. Champagne tours by day, beer by night. It was great.

I think you're right (had to happen, eventually)  |
