my personal fav is the boca juniors stadium, its something else. woeful if you don't like heights though, its crazily steep. The top tier behind the goal was like climbing a ladder
It’s amazing isn’t it- not far from the perfect football ground for me.
OH GOD, NO AS YOU WERE...We can go back to talking about how shit Godden is if you like
Think it was the first FA cup tie played on a Sunday.Ahem. 40k. Derby in the cup. January 1974. 0-0. Won the replay.
power crisis meant it was a Sunday game. The first Sunday game? Not quite. I think Nottingham Forest and Sheffield kicked off earlier than us.
Wow, so I’m not the only one, fantastic! I used to be absolutely obsessed with Simon Inglis- ‘the football grounds of Britain and ‘the football grounds of Europe’, utter stadium porn. To this day I can rattle off capacities, attendances going back years and all that, as certain posters reading this will testify while cringingI remember Italia 90 thinking what a great stadium the Genoa on is, I'm a bit of a stadium geek myself and will check out the ones mentioned. Another 4 sided stadium I like is FC Mainz, it has glass corners with one over looking the City Centre!
Well I know where you’re coming fromI just want the Ricoh.
A stadium that would allow for endless potential.
Whatever we build, not that we will, would be nothing to the standard of the Ricoh.

Don’t completely agree, the current owners would not necessarily pay for it all themselves while retaining ownership of the club.Building a new stadium will never happen while we have this current owner.

The Ricoh is a sub standard stadium, cheaply finished with no particular design features. It has a decent capacity but that's it.I just want the Ricoh.

Haha- it means that they would use other people’s money- a new ‘stadium company’ would be set up and other parties would pay and have an exit route. They’re not going to stump up £40m on their own, but there are ways around it. Whether they have the appetite or the desire, that’s the question.What does that riddle mean?
It’s actually not.The Ricoh is a sub standard stadium, cheaply finished with no particular design features. It has a decent capacity but that's it.
This is it. They could if they wanted to but why would they bother. I think they’d sell rather than build, it’s likely to be our ‘next’ owners that do that.I don’t believe in reality our owner has the remotest interest in ccfc, it’s part of her business portfolio and that’s what will always come first.
Think he is talking about us winning the state aid claim and the council needing to build us a stadium as some way of righting their wrong.What does that riddle mean?
??New stadium announced in three weeks apparently...

The Estadio Do Bessa home of Boavista, check out that stadium if your s fan of the Sampdoria and Genoa Stadium, it looks like our 2 tone design away strip!. Now would I love to walk to that on match day located on Hearsall Common after a skinfull of beer on Craven St before handWow, so I’m not the only one, fantastic!

Germany has some great grounds and it’s like we’ve swapped places with them, in the 80s & 90s everyone there was jealous of what they called ‘English style’ stadiums- ie dilapidated but loud as hell & close to the pitch, while they had huge bowls with athletic tracks. Since then they’ve gone down the route of having the grounds designed for atmosphere and we’ve gone down the corporate/ less atmosphere route.
whisper it but it’s one of the reasons I never really disliked Villa as much as others- the ‘old’ Villa Park was a fantastic ground- tradition, grandeur, bloody loud and every stand unique.
That would be perfect, Craven St used to be my haunt on HR matchdays before staggering into townThe Estadio Do Bessa home of Boavista, check out that stadium if your s fan of the Sampdoria and Genoa Stadium, it looks like our 2 tone design away strip!.

seats with headroom? I like the enthusiasm mind youA huge ultras style Kop end with safe standing at the back would be good and seats in the other areas that give lots of headroom are ideal.
I know it's hypothetical but if we do build one what an exciting blank canvas to start from. Could we be the first club to design an away end that have the first 4 rows of reserved for children and those who can't stand for 90 mins?
The Stade Velodrome: Olympique de Marseille looks impressive too.
That was some walk and pubs to get through before hand, I was a Gosford St drinker!That would be perfect, Craven St used to be my haunt on HR matchdays before staggering into town
Haha I was meaning a decent gradient to the seating.seats with headroom? I like the enthusiasm mind you
We'll have to wait and see, who knows what there end game is. They could pump in millions to get us to the premier League we don't know. Being as secretive as they are the could do anything that's the hope I'm holding out for otherwise it's too depressing to think we'll just go straight back down again.Why sell ? There’s still lots of family silver to sell off, just cashed in on one Sam McCallum there will be others. I tend to stay away from sisu topics they annoy me but we have a team I think will get to the next division and I can’t see for one minute MR getting anything like the funds that will be needed any budget increases for Championship wages. I don’t trust her and certainly don’t trust the now never seen or heard Tim Fisher.
I tended to be an everywhere drinker come match day, but Craven St was always the start point, and afterwards usually ended up in the Four Provinces..That was some walk and pubs to get through before hand, I was a Gosford St drinker!
Wow I love people commenting on things they have no way of knowing the truth ofI don’t believe in reality our owner has the remotest interest in ccfc, it’s part of her business portfolio and that’s what will always come first.
I got a bit of stick for saying this, but it is pointless if CCFC identify somewhere, then the Council veto it. Even if we have to pay some costs, the Council could at least say ' we would approve Site A, B or C' to help get things moving.
I don’t, but every year I see starlets sold off the latest to a club we might well be playing next season mainly because our owner has decided to lose £200000 a home match and for what ?Wow I love people commenting on things they have no way of knowing the truth of
