Nightmare Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) The Friuli looks really different already. Much better than the open bowl look that it had before. Edited February 4, 2015 by Nightmare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogisbairns Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I took in Napoli v Sampdoria at the San Paolo a couple of years back, and part of the upper tier of the stadium is closed due to it being a crumbling wreck. Not sure what the capacity is now, but it needs demolished, never mind upgraded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1423040652.583020.jpg New AC Milan ground. Looks very smart, except the hashtag around the top of the stand. I wonder if they consulted Winston Ingram's 'park in the sky' blueprint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Roma are due to move into their new stadium next year aren't they? Sure I read it will be a 55,000 seater. With the way things are going could that end up the biggest stadium in Italy? In addition to the San Paolo being bigger, Bari's San Nicola is as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 When down South for the Merseyside Derby on Saturday I managed to get to the new Man City Academy for the U21 game with Liverpool at 11.30. What a place. Liverpool won 2-1 with a late penalty great value for £3! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 That's a fine stadium. All for under 21s as well. Would be a perfect stadium for plenty Scottish teams. Love the terracing behind the goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) St Mirren play New York City there tommorow. Streamed live on their youtube channel . Gutted I can't make it down. I can't comprehend the possibility David Villa playing against us, seems surreal. Shame Frank Lampard doesn't join them till the summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Mg1GBbu9Y Edited February 9, 2015 by sergie's no1 fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Really nice ground Jama and like you say would be ample for most Scottish clubs. It looks great in the shadow of the Etihad Stadium. Claudio Reyna was interviewed at half time on Saturday that's a shame you can't make it. Be a great one off for St Mirren fans. A few more photos ... Edited February 9, 2015 by Rab B Nesbit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Great wee staduim that. Ideal for a Championship club in Scotland. Whilst City's owners, initially, looked like just another mob of foreigners spending a shitload of cash to win the Champions League, they do actually seem like they wish to invest in football in the area, what with their academy and this new park. Contrast that with some of the other mobs in England who don't seem to be bothered about what is underneath their star-studded first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I take it this replaced the smaller athletics type stadium that stood next to the Etihad? Nope. This is on the other side of the stadium from that, diagonally across the major road. It's one mighty impressive complex. Having said that though, the main stadium at the campus that Rab's pictured above is a bit of style over substance. Having just frozen my bollocks off there watching St Mirren being outclassed by New York City I can confirm it looks looks magnificent but I don't think they really appreciate what a British winter involves. The sides to the stands and terraces are wide open with the roofs very high and there is no real solid backing to three of them, the space being mainly covered with a material that doesn't even fill the space it's in. I'm sure it's going to be an interesting experience when it's lashing and the winds blowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by that they've even built a "Cold, wet Tuesday night in Stoke simulator". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening game v Benfica next month! Surprised it's been allowed though given the behind the goal terracing has deathtrap-standing installed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
