went to the new stadium today as a neutral,though my son supports arsenal aswell as swindon.it was superb and a great theatre of football.i hope we get them in the cup so stfc fans can appreciate the ground.and maybe snatch a win there.

I guess it is easier to start afresh than pull down an old stadium and put up a new one. But quite how it is 4 years longer is beyod me... |

From what I have seen, its got a funky kind of wavy effect for each tier. Either that or I was pissed when I saw the pictures. :shock: |

it looks just like the city of manchester stadium inside, and the internal concourse is exactly the same as the new wembley. i think ive made my point

Well it couldn't be any worse than highbury, that was a shithole, worst premiership ground I've been too.

Well it couldn't be any worse than highbury, that was a shithole, worst premiership ground I've been too. facility-wise it wasn't great but at least the place had a 'feel' to it. some parts were crumbling but it definitely had character, i enjoyed our recent trip there and even saw the master bergkamp in action (dirty bastard, he used his elbow). |
