JakeSAFC Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If the artists impression pics are anything to go by then it's gonna be a fucking eyesore. An awful stadium for an awful club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 in fairness at least Chelsea's proposed new ground is differing from the bog standard shite that's been churned out by Architects over the last 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Said on here previously but I actually quite like the design for Chelseas renovated gaff. From the Sky it doesn't look great but the projections at ground level with the brickwork columns look absolutely fantastic. Definitely pisses all over the identikit modern ground look that is done by most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Los Angeles FC (MLS Expansion team for 2018) have broken ground on the Banc of California stadium on the site of the Los Angeles Sports arena in exposition park, apparently the Fans have been consulted for an ultras end which is apparently about as steep as is allowed to go and are considering Safe Standing. Also George Lucas is building a billion dollar museum/Art Gallery nearby in Exposition Park. Also Orlando City's new stadium is nearing completion with a full standing terrace on the right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Also Orlando City's new stadium is nearing completion with a full standing terrace on the right. Orlando's new stadium is apparently based on and almost identical to Stoke's Britannia Stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly surprising given they have 2 former Stoke directors plus Tony Pulis's son as the B Team Coach. The stadium formerly known as the Britannia is rather noisey and one of the better new builds in the UK if they ever get round to filling the corners in... Whist it may not be as cold or windy on a midweek as Stoke. The Florida thunderstorms aren't to be messed around with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I'd feel a whole lot safer in their new stadium during a thunderstorm than I would in the Citrus Bowl. Hopefully Orlando improve on the pitch as well as off the pitch. They were rank fucking rotten when I went to see them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Stoke's ground isn't a full bowl, is fully covered and is a single tier on three sides so how is it a copy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Stoke's ground isn't a full bowl, is fully covered and is a single tier on three sides so how is it a copy? It isn't, hence my amending of my original statement. I follow Orlando on Twitter and they posted a link to an article where a club representative had been to visit Stoke and watch a game. It was in this article it mentioned the link between the clubs and how Orlando's new stadium was a copy/modelled on the original designs for the Britannia stadium. So basically it's a copy of the original plans but for whatever reasons there's a few differences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 And there's something nasty, inimidating and evil looking about that Chelsea design If I were a Chelsea fan I'd be delighted with that Because I'd be a complete c**t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Zenit have almost completed construction of the new death star stadium on Krestovsky Island. First game is meant to be in April and it is hosting the opening game of the Confederations Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
