One of the great contradictions I find unique to football supporting, is that I actually prefer standing on a crumbling terrace in an old, open ground than I do sitting in a comfy seat in a modern arena with the amenities that those offer. Maybe it's a reflection of my general outlook on life, but standing in the shed at Holm Park close enough (and empty enough) to hear the players swearing at each other is more enjoyable to me than it was watching from the away end of Celtic Park last week, the fish suppers from the concessions kiosk nowhere near as interesting as a pie from a wee dookit window. I'd therefore hate to see the kind of Americanised fan interaction that one sees at hockey and basketball games become part of Scottish football, though I accept that comfier stadia and more novelty for the fans may be beneficial in the long run. Or maybe I'm just a grumpy b*****d.
The new stadium idea, well, we've talked about this over and over and over. The fact remains that the club does not have the level of support to justify a ground so large and gambling the club's future chasing rainbows is careless in the extreme, but that's none of my business...
