Old Trafford has too many seats crammed into not enough space.

When we've been there I have to get a seat at the end of a row for our Richard & he has to watch the game sat sideways cos he can't get his legs behind the seat in front!! It's bad at home but OT is far worse :(

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

The Millennium stadium Cardiff has a huge design floor, if you are seated lower tier near the back you can only see half the pitch. TV's are situated above so you can see the other half of the game. The old Wembley was showing her age and falling to bits in places. The new Wembley is a modern stadium that in time will get a soul. Like England RL beating Australia in a WC final. :D

Got to agree, City's ground is a very good stadium ????


Hull FC's ground is the best in SL IMO ????

It sure is, thanks to Whelan.

For another £10,000,000 or so we could have had a similar one in Wigan like the KC and the nearby Macron.

Do you mean to say you don't know?

I think the expression is 'selling the family silver' to pay off debts.

All that is wrong inside is the seats in the centre being used by football supporters who never go to watch other sports and the lack of seating outside on the outside concourses.
WW this was just my opinion of the new stadium in comparison to the old. I liked the old much more than the new.
Are you truly a mind reader on what other peoples opinions of the stadium are.

I too preferred the old Wembley. The new place for me is like a huge corporate monolith without any soul or character. Cardiff for me is streets ahead.
