I do agree with some of the comments, such as the ends are too small and the empty areas (yet to be filled) but it does have a bright appearance and a contemporary feel. I think it will age well and be improved immensely by the expansion. I don't care if people don't like it. It has to be one of the best modern stadia (of its size) in the world and I for one love going to it.

I know. Some people want the moon on a stick. Bah.
And?
I have to say, I've never cared less about Southampton, but they really are a very unlikeable bunch.
Probably the quietest person for person away support all season, and just... well... bitter, twisted and arrogant all at the same time.
They really are an unpleasant buch - at least their posters are.

Ours is a magnificent piece of architecture in an area of outstanding beauty, yours is a tin pot Lego ground on a shity industrial estate.

I thought the pictures paint a thousand words. Problem with a ground like St. Marys and the countless others that look like them is (at the time) the builders were given a blank canvas in an area that could easily support a ground. Result ? Easy option flat pack IKEA stadium.
Architecture usually gains from a challenge and the environment within which we were given the opportunity to build one was certainly that. So quite unique in that respect, something that existing grounds tend to suffer from when trying to expand rather than new ones.
I love the new stadium, precisely for the reasons some away fans (after suffering a defeat) are criticising it.
Single tier stadia are horrible and miles away from what Southampton would choose to build now given the opportunity.

Well the second one is the Dripping Pan
Go on, name them!
Ours cost £15m and our council gave us the land, and we can walk to the high street and central station in ten minutes.
Yours cost £90m and you had to fight 8 years (with my limited help) the nob-heads who hate anything built within 10 miles of their kid's inheritance. No bars, no life around bring a nice pair of hiking boots to get back to town!

And it's all gone quiet..

No bars? 6 in the stadium excluding the 1901 and a great place you should visit called the hikers rest. Prick.
