The grey bit in the middle looks a little poor, but other than that, nice place.

I read today that John Hartson has said he wants to rejoin Swansea before retiring, said he's not fussed about the money, would just like to play for his boyhood club before it's too late.  nice touch.

It is very similar to the KC.

Id take it on the CG site though.

I think stunning is going a bit far.  The Nou Camp or San Siro are stunning. that just looks like generic new stadium # 263.

Still, Its better than the CG.

i thought that when i first looked at it, but i imagine they will put sponsor boards up around there which will give it a bit more colour. black seats dont help either (they should have done this http://www.portugal2004.pt/images/estadios//07_leiria/07_2003/07_0312/7_0312_81_ob_g.jpg )

nice sized stadium though, not too big, just the kinda thing we need.

Oh yeah, good point, it kust looks a little bare around the midrift at the moment.  Advertising boards would improve the place a little.  But like PM says it's just another 21st century looking stadium.

Quite right PM, it in no way inspires me to the level of when I first walked round the corner to see El Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

That is stunning!  The spirals going up into the ground for the car-park are just incredible.

It will look ace when its full of people, unlike are stadium  :cry:

I reckon next seasons average will be below a 3rd of the capacity

oh yes 8) The lifts are ace as well!

I like Swansea's ground as well, looks pretty nice. I like the fact they've got ABERTAWE below SWANSEA. Nice touch.

Neat and tidy, but like all of these new grounds lacking in interest, the Vetch being one of the few with  a view of the local clink.
