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...

The Minertaur Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-38682911 A little bit more of Spurs new ground. Key quotes from the article... A new beer delivery system which will enable staff to deliver 10,000 pints per minute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 It'll probably be a bottom-up based delivery system. Sky have more details - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/10735129/glass-tunnel-for-spurs-stadium The "Tunnel Club" gives you seats that are "touching distance" from the home dugout, plus access to a restaurant where you can watch the players in the tunnel (all seems a bit creepy, tbh). And it's a snip at £30,000 for membership, plus £9,500 for a seat which must be bought in pairs. It's the epitome of everything that's wrong with commercialism in football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the working man really wants to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stadium in London, they can charge as much as they want seeing as there's enough people with money to spend to buy that stuff, plus for a new stadium they've got things that fans say they want, a giant single tier, closer to the pitch and to have good acoustics. Not to mention they built a school, a college and affordable housing as part of the overall project. I'd say West Ham getting a stadium off the public at an embarrassingly low price that doesn't accommodate the supporters and Hull charging full price to children as much worse things that are wrong with modern football. Spurs charging lots of money for things rich people want to have is pretty sensible business decision seeing as they are spending over £700 Million more than West Ham have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Just decent quality food outlets without being pretentious like a cheese room! There's a balance I agree. Football clubs still serve the same inedible crap they did in the 1950s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
