topcat(The most tip top) Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 As much as people would hate it, bulldoze Hampden and relocate to just outside of Glasgow, near bishopbriggs or the likes. 45,000 seater stadium, training facilities, bus and train routes with a newly build Station to accommodate this, located just outside of Glasgow. Sign an agreement with Scotrail to do trains home all over Scotland up until 1am. The Scottish National Stadium would be a reduced venue, but leave room for expansion. If you don’t want to bulldoze Hampden, then leave it be as a music venue, Cup final location and a museum. Hampden is practically just outside Glasgow anyway moving deeper into suburbia seems crazy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to be daft to get the train back. It's quicker to walk back, even if you're catching another train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Western Sydney Wanderers Paramatta Stadium has been knocked down and rebuilt. They now play at the Bankwest Stadium which is a 30,000 multi purpose stadium. Looks decent, shame the seats are not in wanderers colours. Apparently 6 teams play there as well which is odd. Look like a decent ground nonetheless. Also reading that Australia’s National Stadium, the ANZ Stadium, is to be redeveloped to make it more rectangular. Glad to be able to say I saw a Sydney Derby at the Paramatta Stadium before it got knocked down! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No railed seat nonsense. How is this okay for Rugby League and not for football. Rhinos get bigger attendances than most Sottish Premiership teams. That looks great. Like a bigger, better version of the stand opposite the main stand at Cappielow. The 'rail seat' stuff is a huge con. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is due to open in the mid-2019. It's about 3 miles from Bootham Crescent so not a drastic change of scenery so to speak. An update on this, almost finished now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit like someone has hit a "Randomise the seats" button at McDiarmid Park. Hopefully a bit of news in the near future on Aarau's new gaff. There is a vote on the 24th of November(I think) on whether or not the local council will contribute part of the costs. They are being asked to put up just under 20m towards the costs, which are expected to be around 80m all in for the full project which includes the stadium, housing, retail and a few other things. Far from guaranteed that it will get the go ahead, but with the additional stuff that will be built the odds are probably in favour of them getting the thumbs up on it. Bizarrely, the council have already put in an extra train stop at the site, which is currently a completely disused former industrial estate that is a 10 minute walk from the city centre and seemingly has no one else interested in doing anything with it.

thekorean Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 New Louisville City stadium almost complete. They play in USL Championship with probably no chance of ever getting in to MLS. Good to see these smaller lower league clubs being able to build their own football specific stadiums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1875 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Completely forgot about Brentford's new stadium, didn't realise how far along it was. Looking good but I'm not a fan of the multi-coloured seats which are apprently used to make the stadium look more full fore TV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
