Or perhaps they go even further than that and have a block of ruddly flats on the touchline:

Allan Park. Home of Cove Rangers. Weird looking plexiglass.... press room? What the f**k is that?

IIRC the description from the defunct "Scottish non-league football grounds" site, this is the viewing area for board members and their families (guests, I'd presume as well). There is no "public" seating at the ground.

:lol: Never seen that one, that's awesome. But get the pics uploaded here rather than linking out, otherwise I bet someone deletes them due to the MASSIVE BANDWIDTH consumption of what's sure to be the most popular thread of all time. (edit: if it's not your laptop get it formatted and down to Cash Converters before the rozzers find it)

Somewhat along the same themes as the above, and knocking five shades of crap out of Craven Cottage, is Het Kasteel (The Castle), nickname of the home of Rotterdam's second team, Sparta:

This is the only European ground I know of that has what appears to be a fucking beer garden on the halfway line.

With the exception of the castle area, the entire stadium is a modern affair. The facade of the opposite side of the ground is as modern as it gets:

That looks absolutely fantastic.

I know he spent time in Holland, so if you read this; vikingTon, did you ever go to Sparta's stadium while you were over there? Is it as good in person as it is on here/any other quirks to it?

Aye, and yet it fulfils HFL's seated stand requirements!!

And that's the mob lots of people want in the SFL? :lol:

They were to have had a new stadium built as part of Aberdeen's new training centre including a 1k seater stand, IIRC.

However the new Labour councillors blocked the permission last month.

Considering the size of the Netherlands ...

And sorry for the red dot - fat fingers. I'll greeny you somewhere else.
