It only tended to be Italian clubs who were really into that and it is going out of fashion now. Juventus moved out and Roma intend on doing the same. Bayern and 1860 seem to manage quite well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allianz_Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearbuyerbell Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Any ground that is taxpayer funded and gifted to an English team is always going to get my goat. Also Camera angle is too low down. Should be about 20m higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well, Bayern do. But they'd be succesful anywhere. 1860 have been shite since one of their youth players decided to slap Franz Beckenbauer just before he was about to sign for them.

It has seen better days, absolutely, hence why the club have been looking to move for at least a decade. If/when they do, hopefully it won't be a huge, open spaced bowl like West Ham have. It doesn't look like a brilliant place to watch football. Though for the home crowd, that's probably a good thing given how woeful their team have been. Goodison is by far and away my favourite ground in the EPL. Very few like it are left, sadly. I'll be gutted if/when Everton move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally expanding UP to 60K would have been ideal but was never going to happen unless the council bulldozed several streets..........which wouldn't have been a great loss right enough. I don't see why Liverpool and Everton couldn't share a state of the art stadium as it seems to work elsewhere and would benefit both clubs. The same Goodison argument has been made on here for years about Somerset Park in Ayr......that's another crumbling dump which should've been demolished decades ago. Now you've taken it too far Jimmy ... Somerset Park is a classic You are a brave man saying on here that bulldozing several streets wouldn't have been a great loss after the outpouring of grief on here about a few houses left on Lothair Road. From a Liverpool perspective a groundshare was never an option many fans were very strongly against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a 5 minute drive from Somerset...........some folks like it.....I don't mind it the odd time but would prefer not to be in the same league!! The houses near UP wouldn't be WH fans so no loss there......aherm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The London Stadium is absolutely dreadful to watch football in and can be a nightmare to get out of at the end. I'd be gutted if I was a West Ham fan stuck in there for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 2 hours ago, jimmy boo said: Absolutely fair play to Liverpool and any other club who have the finances and the space to expand their clubs to the capacity where they believe they can move onwards and upwards. If you look at Google maps you'll see WH had no posibility of expanding beyond the capacity of 35,000. I thought when West Ham built their new Main Stand the reason for building it where it was rather than simply replacing the old one was that the pitch was going to get moved 15-20 metres away from the old Chicken Run side, so that another big stand could go up in its place? It could have easily been able to hold 35-40,000 maybe more and with the best will in the world, there's no real need for any 60,000 ground to "push to the next level" or whatever corporate speak the club use. 1 hour ago, jimmy boo said: Bayern and 1860 seem to manage quite well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allianz_Arena Aren't 1860 looking to move out? It's a great stadium right enough. Well worth a stadium tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 West Ham at the Olympic reminds me of Juve at the Stadio Del Alpi. They will continue to stagnate there as long as they remain there. Only alternative option is to do a mass bulldoze and rebuild and it just ain't gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Juventus dominated Italian football even at a half empty Delli Alpi, which was a good looking ground imo having been twice, Juve's decline had nothing to do with their ground.

ICTChris Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Juve won seven league titles, one Italian cup, one UEFA Cup and one Champions League at the delle Alpi, although they did lose a couple of titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
