sjc Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It is indeed. There is going to be movable seats in the bottom tier to slide over the track. Of course, this means from the back of the bottom tier to the front of the upper tier is a 50ft flat area of nothingness. Utterly stupid. That does sound utterly stupid! Temporary seating above the void perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 The Olympic Park it's going to be utterly shite. They will soon realise. Going to forever be a wee bit sad I never managed to sample the atmosphere inside WHL before they started tearing it apart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 FC Aarau finally got building permission for their new ground, having struggled for the last decade to get planning permission for anything put forward. 10k capacity is around the same as the existing stadium at Brügglifield but the facilities will be a tad more modern. Will be sad to see them leave the current place when it happens as it is a real throwback of a ground and one I enjoy watching games in. Big positive on the new place is the fact it is a 5 minute walk from the town centre and 2 minutes from the main train station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better way of thinking, unlike Scots who want to put stadiums as far away from city centres as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much of that was by choice or by accident, as the site is a disused industrial estate that will require a hell of a lot of work. Whatever the case it's a good location for the fans to get to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Roar Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Much better way of thinking, unlike Scots who want to put stadiums as far away from city centres as possible. How many teams have their ground outside the town in Scotland? I can only think of Falkirk, St. Johnstone and soon Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one David Marsh Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Clyde could probably qualify When the stadium was first built it was meant to have a retail park and a cinema in the land around it that never happened so it ended up with no amenities close to it apart from broadwood farm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Well are pretty much forced to given the price of land. Yes and no. Take a swatch at any Hampden related thread and there are scores of melts suggesting we stick a national stadium just off the motorway in Stirling/Edinburgh/some ring road somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Grasshoppers and FC Zürich look as though they have finally been given permission to build their new ground. Looks a bit generic and boxy, as all new Swiss grounds seem to. Only going to hold 18500, which seems a little small to me, and is expected to cost around £350m, though that does include construction of the two tower blocks over looking the ground which they hope will generate long term income and eventually go some way towards covering the financing. For Grasshoppers fans it'll be a return to the site of their old stadium, Hardturm, as this is being built on the land that the old ground was situated on. Not overly impressed with it, but it's a massive improvement on the Letzigrund which is a fucking awful place to watch football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
