HibeeJibee Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) It's a new stadium somewhere else in town. They've had various sell-outs at K-Park... Whitehill in LL (groundhop game), Scottish Cup ties on their run to playing Celtic, playoffs this season, friendlies v Clyde and Celtic XI. Even if the new stadium is ready for halfway through 2018-19, they will be able to make use of the new grandstand at K-Park in the SPFL League Cup where they've Lanarkshire derbies v Albion Rovers and Hamilton; potentially in the SPFL Challenge Cup plus Scottish Cup depending on the draws; in playoffs if they win league again; in the cups again in 2018-19; plus in SPFL2 in first half of 2018-19 if they get promoted and that could be longer if the new stadium is delayed. Their current crowds are 150, give or take a few dozen, for normal games. Obviously they want to grow this and I'd guess part of their thinking is turning people away for big games wouldn't really help.

Knowing my poor knowledge of EK the current park is well away from anything bar the country park and a carvary. From speaking to someone from the club at our play off game the new stadium is further out of the town than K-Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 You can see in that photo where the rows are, and it's looking steep. Glorious.On a side note, would be good if Hearts put some new seats because some of the old ones look gammy from a distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The new Everton stadium will be used for some of the Commonwealth game if Liverpool wins the bid and the boxing will be held at Goodison Park.

1320Lichtie Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Does every team have to do a bowl these days? They're all boring as f**k. Yet to see Tottenhams but hopefully it has a bit of character about it. Middlesbrough Sunderland SwanseaHullLeicester Southampton etc are just the worst. Now Stokes filling in the corners so that's another one to add to the list. Absolutely no character at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Gayfield is effectively a bowl is it not? I suppose it is in a way, however it certainly doesn't lack character, you'd be hard pressed to find a football fan who couldn't appreciate this.... It's absolutely beautiful, in my opinion, and cannot fall under the same category as your lego land Bowl types that are popping up everywhere.These new grounds are really making me appreciate the Old Trafford/Anfields/Villas of the world. Proper all seated grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're quite right, Gayfield is a fantastic wee ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
