You might see one that started getting chubby after years of slender fitness, but only for the few moments before they keel.

Hi Ferring, I succumbed and went today, those stairs are a B'sta"d, my advise is just take your time as you'll get your breath back when queuing at the food booths, 25 mins wait at least, then look at the prices you'll find you need an oxygen mask

I will need the oxygen mask on the way up the stairs.
Delighted that you enjoyed the day and pleased to read your comments.

God, what a nation we've become, can't do a few stairs, won't go unless we can park the car outside the door.

Yes they did....but not exactly possible really was it, when you were not allowed to see the stairs etc before you bought your ticket.
As one with a dodgy heart, I found the stairs OK providing I didn't rush. They are quite narrow for a lot of people going up at the same time, so I think the majority of fans should be aware it will be a slow climb for everyone.
Interesting to see a lift....the only people I saw use it were very young people in tracksuits etc.......talk about flogging the old horse first...lol.
Fantastic to see the stadium inside for the first time though. Often read how some people said they would be emotional on the first visit...which I thought was a bit soft. However......changed my mind now.....was quite overwhelming....it really was...!

It's not as many steps as I thought really, although I did think they were a bit narrow, I thought they would have been widened so you don't get a crush of fans, especially when exiting.
Is there a smoking zone anywhere?

Mount @ Everest? What's that, the new name for Newcastle's ground?

Could actually be quite dangerous with the inevitable stampede for the trains ten minutes from the end.

Seeing as my local Fitness First has just closed down and the old paunch is growing I will welcome the exercise.
I do recall in my early Jan presentation some old lady rather embarrassingly kicking off as she claimed she was told there would be lifts all the way to the top. Richard Hebbard did well to placate her whilst most of us were dying to tell her to pick a seat elsewhere.
