Oh, I see. One law for the Rich. . . .
If anyone wants to see the stadium building works pics I took today whilst at WHL I've made this album public:

There are boards all around the edge that are 10' tall so unless you have a ladder I guess not.
Are people concerned its going to be very odd (for players and/or fans) playing in a ground with a fucking great big chunk missing?
No. Because it will look no different to many normal stadiums. More complete, in fact.
Cosmic, we're going to look like Shrewsbury TownNo. Because it will look no different to many normal stadiums. More complete, in fact.
It's the only one I could think to quickly google - I don't think Bournemouth are too far off
The scum had a big hole for years.

As much as things have to move on, Highbury had a lot more charm to it than the generic bowl they reside in now. Even if those seats look like they need pressure washing.
No. I remember the cup run in '81 when the West Stand was knocked down. Bit weird at first but we played every round at home and won it!.
Could be an omen . . .
For a short while you could see the game from on top of the buses that went past.
I imagine red bus rovers were popular during this time.
Used to enjoy going there, think i only missed two games there between 1979-2006.
Won't step foot in that place they're at now.

As much as you can't keep people going in to tatty buildings, with limited capacities, the classic 'four stand' stadium seems to be much better for atmosphere to me. I like to be able to see outside of the stadium from inside the stadium, rather than be surrounded by seats in all corners.
I don't know why that is, I think I just like to feel like I'm watching a sport rather than an event, if that makes any sense whatsoever.
I hope our glass uppers will allow that feeling a bit more. I get that you can get another 20% capacity by using the corners, and I also understand the whole acoustics that you get from an enclosed pitch, but it's just my feeling as a fan.
Nothing quite like an Autumn evening game, with the sun visibly setting in the corner of the stadium.
Wrong sport, but kind of like this
