Your Sparkling New Stadium

[redneb]

There was lots of people who only went to away games crazy I know. I know withdean was shit. But now we have a new ground and the club have made it one of the best in the country. Not capacity wise. With all the little things they have done. ( away fans get colours of there team on concourse and a few or there legends , all padded seats, mosaic of Peter ward, concrete slabs with peoples personal words on them outside the ground , good drinks/food ) loads more that I have heard but can't remember yes there will be new fans there. But it will be full .. Week in week out. And hopefully these new ones can sing and make it noisy. but with help from WSU and N I'm sure it won't be hard

I think the padded seats thing will catch on and a lot of clubs will do that for all the seats. The away colours thing is a bit gimicky but should be interesting nonetheless. Weve got those brick things at SMS. My wife bought me one for my birthday 7 years ago.

Interesting post. So lets get this right and using your anology;

Saints, Boro, Leicester and Derby all have similar grounds, all around 30 to 35k, all medium sized clubs.
Man u, Liverpool, Man City, Newcastle etc. All 50k plus. All big clubs.
Any team with around say 22k ground - small clubs.

Saints , leicester , boro , derby. Would rather have a Amex than a half filled 31k. But I guess the champions of league 1 still are a smaller club that runners up:'(

But would rather have a St Mary's, Walkers Stad, Riverside or Pride park if there was a requirement for more than 23k people.

You are forgetting that capacity at the Amex can be easily increased.

To be fair, St Mary's may be a tad soulless in appearance, but their fans make a decent amount of noise- unlike Reading, Hull, Middlesbrough etc.
