Rick Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It is a lovely ground Brentford have built. The seat colours are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 I genuinely like the seats, they could be more red instead of yellow but I like the dotted look. Looks good on Sporting’s stadium and I think it does on ours A lot of people feeling like the new stadium doesn’t represent Brentford though and the seating arrangement is a big part of that for them I think most don’t care too much though I also think at first it does seem to have a legoy feel to it but once you see the pictures from inside, and then once our colours go up around the ground and on the hoardings I think it’s actually really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they need now is the supporters back through the turnstiles to pay for it, the Coronavirus will be the downfall of some clubs trying to survive.

Danny Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Not much change but London Irish have posted the most recent image of the stadium, a lot of the concrete has been covered in red boarding which does make the stadium look more like our stadium.

Danny Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 A vlog someone took at the ground against Bournemouth, atmosphere sounds great considering it was a reduced capacity and the stadium looks so much better when you see it from the perspective of someone in there.

Danny Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 My dad got a couple free tickets to a West Ham game (he supports them) so went along to see the Atalanta friendly today. Really weird stadium, you can see the effort they’ve made inside to make it seem like it’s West Ham’s, and how they’ve tried to make it closer to the pitch. But it just doesn’t feel like a football stadium, more just a sports stadium where football is played. But with that said the pitch isn’t as far away as is made out. The outside of the ground is just a Westfield, new build flats and open parklands. Quite soulless in that regard, if you’ve ever been to an Olympic stadium abroad it has a similar feel. Much like Hackney Wick it can seem like a place for hipsters. Cannot stress how important a high street or residential housing is to a good stadium, they’ve done their best trying to brand it and make it look and feel West Ham, but really if you didn’t know about the history of the site it is very clear from the onset that it was never built for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. A hell of a lot of regeneration around that end of the stadium, too. Event area, residential block and a hotel. And also a bigger flagship store too. It's a new era in what is already a defining period in the club's history. I can't believe we used to play in this at the start of the century for a few years: And now we're expanding on what was already a big step up for us when the current stadium was built.

I've not read the full details of the expansion but I believe there will be more exec/VIP boxes and it'll link in some way to the North/South stands so it doesn't look like it's just plonked on top. A lot of the work (aside from structurally inside adding all the seats) will be the façade on the outside. It'll be designed in a way to aid future expansions to those other two stands as well.

Reluctant Striker Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 There is a Villa Park redevelopment lined up, awaiting final green light. Will be a new North Stand & further enhancements to the Trinity Road Stand. Increasing capacity to around 50,000, currently at just over 42,000. I guess it is nice to redevelop if possible. Apparently some vague idea of getting a piece of Euro 2028. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted April 18, 2023 Administrator Share Posted April 18, 2023 Man City expanding to 60,000... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65308511 Quote Manchester City have submitted a planning application for a £300m expansion of Etihad Stadium. The club want to increase the current capacity of 53,400 to 60,000 by expanding the North Stand. Proposals include a sky bar overlooking the pitch and a stadium roof walk experience. A 3,000-capacity fan zone, new club shop and museum, and 400-bed hotel have also been proposed in the application to Manchester City Council. The club say the project, which would take three years to complete, would create a "best-in-class fan experience and year-round entertainment and leisure destination". The planning application follows a consultation with fans and the local community. City say the proposals represent more than £300m investment into east Manchester, and could create 2,600 jobs, with priority for people from Greater Manchester. There are also plans for new office spaces for businesses that want to work in collaboration with the club and their partners. In August, City announced discussions were in a primary phase to expand the two-tier North Stand to three tiers, but their planning application proposes to expand the single upper tier above the existing lower tier. "As with all Club developments, ensuring our local community benefit is a key priority and we believe these proposals will deliver long-term economic and social opportunities, building on the regeneration work delivered in east Manchester by City Football Group since 2008," said Danny Wilson, managing director of Manchester City Operations. The Etihad was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and has been home to the Premier League champions since 2003. An expansion in 2015 added 6,000 seats and the ground currently has the fifth-largest capacity of Premier League stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
