And out of all the seats in the stadium ended up sitting about 5 rows in front of me!

if you saw it on t.v you can see turkey holding up one of the brighton flags you can buy in shop.

Didnt realise it was him at the time but my bro spotted him from the top tier on the opposite side when he was holding it in!
I thought Wembley was.... okay.
The top seats looked a LONG way up from ours (opposite the royal box).
Bizarrely, the lower concourse is almost exactly the same (size) as the old Wembley - although I guess there's another one above it now.
Food/drink was a rip-off (£4 hotdog anyone?), with pretty long queues.
People were using the serviette/sauce/cutlery tables as a bar. Tsk!
No discernable bins, but there were men going round collecting... so I guess you're supposed to just drop your litter on the floor. (Britain in a nutshell, that).
Sizable queues in the toilets.
Better leg room than before - but not as much as the Emirates [edit: in the stadium, not the loos].
Same old dodgy infrastructure around the stadium.
I'm sure it will rock when it's full but, having been to a fair few superstadiums around the world, it wasn't that impressive.

Walking into the lower concourse it seemed just as dark and miserable as the old Wembley. Queues everywhere for food and souvenirs - why no programme sellers outside like before?
The bogs were rubbish. Small, dark and with jet-engine yet ineffective hand dryers.
But.
The view as you walked into the arena itself, I thought, was breath-taking, nothing had prepared me for the scale inside. The seats had great views and there was plenty of leg-room.
Given how superb the arena is I was really, really disappointed with facilities for the cannon fodder fans.

agree with most of that...Wozza said:
the hotdogs were a fiver though (8 quid for cheeseburger and chips, 4pound50 your pie...)...
hopefully the lower concourse isn't finished yet and there will be more big screens and murals/banners etc...?
felt like it would be quite easy to get singing going if people were up for it and that whole stadium roaring would be pretty awesome...
getting a train after the match wasn't too bad - we stayed until after the final whistle and were on a train within about half an hour/40 minutes?

4.50 and then 6 pound for the "meal deal" I believe....which only included a drink and a hotdog

isn't £4 pretty average for a premiership ground in london? i'd imagine chelsea charge similar
it sounds like i expected it really, ultra impressive on the outside, bit of a let down on the inside. still, i think perhaps people had set their sights a bit too high, this is in england remember
