The away end was shocking and in Dier need of knocking down and moving a couple of kilometres closer to the pitch
Aren't basically all stadiums in Italy in need of knocking down? A lot of them weren't up to scratch during Italia '90 and there's been very little redevelopment since. It's not so much about needing more capacity and rather requiring a ground that isn't falling to pieces and dangerous.
That's probably true ... they did ithis one up in the 90's ... took out the running track and new roof ... still it's an old, old stadium .... just don't see how a club with so few fans can afford a 700m stadium ....
State subsidies through the back door to pump the local economy. Very common in Southern Europe where a lot of clubs don’t own the stadium they play in
Yup. Their current stadium is owned by the city/municipality so the rent is probably very high. Espanyol built their own, smaller stadium for this reason. It was long term cheaper to buy land and build their own stadium than paying the rent
A lot of Italian clubs are trying to follow the juventus and Torino model and move to their own purpose built stadium, it has helped juve to move to another level in financial clout and other big clubs in Italy are waking up to this.
AC Milan, under Chinese investment owners, are keen to leave the San siro, as are Roma who want out of the stadio olimpico.

added to the fact thay were playing in an athletics stadium, which afforded shite views and a shite atmosphere
Pitches are fairly decent too, those close to the road are now half size pitches, which is fantastic for kids, no longer are 10yrs olds playing of full size pitches. As I'm knocking on a bit I prefer to play on these too, grass is excellent and even. All in all the whole place is unrecognisable, the full size pitches are also much better, although I'd argue there is more dog shit on them than ever before.
What up with all the golf sections?Leicester new training ground
- it's gonna be expensive to run this when they're back in league 1

Not a patch on ours but looks decent.
Why didn't they label the "special medications" R&D facility?
Espanyol have 0 fans?
yep. Getafe have like no fans. I've never met one. I'm met Rayo fans so I know they exist.
Bill Madrid ever met a Getafe fan?
P.s This table is disgusting isn't it? It's the fan share in Spain
Wtf
Im guessing thats Solar Panels on the roof? nice touch if it isAntalya stadium, Turkey
Weren't ARCH involved in the design of our stadium as well?
No idea mate but would have thought whoever was should never work again, it's a fucking horrible stadium.
That should really say THRID look, seeing this is the 3rd launch of the exact refurb of the stadium.
This from 5yrs ago:
