Stadium MK

[Rookie]

Naff stadium in a naff place. the only saving grace were the seats and I booted one of them pretty hard when their keeper saved from Wood. All in all a naff day out and took bloody ages to get home by train.

Cold, soulless, sad, depressing. For me, this describes the stadium, the fans and the town.

Otherwise ok?

I cannot understand all the beefing about it as I think that it is a stadium that is easily accessible, easy to enter and leave with little or no hold ups and the seats have plenty of legroom and are comfortable. The view from where I sat was very good. Should they ever get to rise up the divisions, which is ulikely, they can always add more seats up top but at the moment it is more than adequate for their needs.

Well said. A rational voice at last.

Been the last 3 years, and hated it every time. I can assure you yesterday was my last visit in a very, very long time! I can say with quite ease that is my least favourite ground i have visited.

You've obviously not travelled much then

As new stadiums go, and I've been to a lot, I would say it has the potential to be one of the better ones. Lots of work to do outside and it needs to be filled but if that ever happens it will be a good stadium.

I know we have had a shit stadium for ages but there is a danger now that's about to change that we turn into stadium snobs. That said, ours will be a lot better than that MK thing

I gather that you have the same Architects designing yours as ours (and Arsenal's and Wembley)

My experience would have been better had my team turned up!

It's my least favourite away day, but had nothing else to do saturday and the train was a steal at £6. Un-finished, cold, soul-less and with one of the least knowledgable fan bases i've ever met. I couldn't sit there every week, Withdean's bad, but there's just something about the place that makes me feel i wouldn't be able to put up with it every week. That's their future, 4/5k fans rattling around in a half empty stadium that'll never be finished, will never have an atmosphere (apart from 50 kids banging there seats for 5 minutes before full time), and will never ever be full. Says it all that the record attendance i believe is for an England U21 game.

As for the digs at our ground/attendances, i presume 90% of that board know nothing about why we're even at Withdean, and i bet a few are even unaware of Falmer.
The fact that the attendance given for saturday being 9500 or whatever it was is LAUGHABLE. If anything, its common sense to give lower attendances as many clubs do to avoid tax. There were no more than 4k home fans on Saturday.

Absolute shithole.... no atmosphere..... Real team v Steal team

Oh I know. Not only did it have no urinals but it was full of women. Unbelievable.

This reminds me of a thread you posted a year or so ago Edna.

I never did admit to my faux pas at the time!

Nope. Completely different architect. Same construction company, but double the budget for a smaller stadium.

Wembley was designed by Sir Norman Foster and HOK Sports, Stadium MK was designed by HOK Sports, and Falmer was designed by KSS.

And I bet our stadium is finished before theirs.
