Title: Barcelona Post by: swindonbob on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 22:35:59 I got back from holiday today and on my travels i went and watched the Barcelona - Osasuna game at the Nou Camp on Saturday evening. The Nou Camp is a quality stadium, and its absolutely huge but without a roof, and with there only being 63,000 people there for there first home game of the season (when the capacity is 98,787) it seemed very quiet and not much atmosphere for each of their goals that went in.
There was more passion and noise at tonights game although we had 55,000 less people cheering us on.... Anyway, i took a photo playing with the panoramic feature on my phone and it looks pretty impressive...especially in comparision to the theatre of dreams that i attended tonight!

Title: Barcelona Post by: swindonbob on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 23:07:08 I got ripped off a bit and was charged about 80 euros (bout £56) for the tickets and return travel.
Just for the ticket where we were sitting, a league match costs 50 euros (£35). The champions league game played tonight costed 30 euros (£21) - wish i had gone to that now as it was 5-0 and big ron scored!

Title: Barcelona Post by: mr ian on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 23:15:40 ive been there, but not to watch a game,
the thing that struck me is theres only about 20% of the stadium covered and it must be really shite for the rest when it rains but on the flip side get the sun cream out for most of the season. Title: Barcelona Post by: swindonbob on Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 10:19:44 I just saw on Sky Sports that it pissed it down last night and the players tunnel was flooded!

Went in the trophy room which was brilliant. I went a couple of years ago, it was ace, it was quite scary being stood right in the back row looking down at the pitch. Went round the trophy room and the museum. The club shop was manic :D Title: Barcelona Post by: SwindonTownFC on Sunday, September 17, 2006, 15:33:12 I went on a tour of the Bernabeau and met Becks

Went in the trophy room which was brilliant. I did the same thing. Very impressive! Although some of the seats were quite skanky!Think they were actually in the process of replacing them when I went though Title: Barcelona Post by: Super_Taff on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, 14:06:39 I bought a homer simpson mouse mat in the nou camp shop which i use to this day
