just visiting Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The new main stand at Anfield is going to be about 300 miles away from the pitch by the look of it! The people in the top tier will have better view of Goodison Park than they will of the players on the pitch at Anfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The people in the top tier will have better view of Goodison Park than they will of the players on the pitch at Anfield. It looks awful and this is why ideally if you are going to renovate an existing stadium you should knock it down all together and start again or build a new stadium elsewhere.

Guest Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The people in the top tier will have better view of Goodison Park than they will of the players on the pitch at Anfield. Looks similar to your main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GY-owl.4 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Wtf. Why is it set in the olden days? cos it will be different? cos Abramovich can afford it and wants to go retro? gonna be awesome i reckon. really hope this comes to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It looks awful and this is why ideally if you are going to renovate an existing stadium you should knock it down all together and start again or build a new stadium elsewhere. They're building it behind the current stand so it can be used all season then next offseason (I think) the current stand gets sort of assimilated into the new one, whether it likes it or not. There's a video somewhere with little animated cranes. Enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eDDie Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That Chelsea stadium is everything I love about brave and compassionate design. What an incredible idea and I totally get why it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That Chelsea stadium is everything I love about brave and compassionate design. What an incredible idea and I totally get why it will work. Agree. Better than glass and steel like everything else. Do something different and stand out. Everyone whinges about generic bowls, well good on them for doing something different. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That Chelsea design is bonkers and brilliant. Unique architecture has to be applauded in stadium design. I understand why the smaller clubs stick to templates, but as someone who traditionally does more away games than home, I don't want a world where the UK is a tour of different coloured Pride Park's.

jamsandwich Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Stadia vs. stadiums Both stadia and stadiums are accepted plurals of stadium. Neither is right or wrong, but stadiums is far more common. This is the case throughout the English-speaking world, and it has been for several decades. English-speakers are not required to know the rules of Latin grammar, and most Latin-derived words with long histories in English are now pluralized in the English manner. We do still prefer some Latin plurals by convention, however, but stadia is not one of them. Besides, stadia has its own meanings unrelated to stadium (i.e., a telescopic instrument used to measure distances, plus several related definitions), so keeping it separate might be useful.
