Mr Hankey Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I know a lot of people like to slag off American sports and the way they do things, but they have it bang on in regards to making sport an actual day out instead of just about what happens on the field. I don't believe there is anything wrong in that aspect creeping in to our sides of the sport, just as long as the prices will be sustainable!

I am a Green Bay Packers fan and regularly head over to watch games. The whole experience is completely different to anything over here, they do make a whole day of it and have a great time.

Guest JHAGa Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I read there is supposed to be a 17k one-tierred home end that is inspired by the Dortmund yellow wall. Hopefully they stick to their word and don't fill it with corporates/families. In all likelihood though, it'll probably end up being a rubbish atmosphere like the Emirates/Olympic Stadium.

In America sports clubs are seen as a place of enjoyment that's set up for the fans/members, the clubs are seen as the centre of the social life of the fans, partners and kids, who get involved with that Club.They spend money because they are having a good time. In GB it's the other way around - the fans/members are there to keep the clubs going financially. Totally different approach. In British football the fans are almost seen as the enemy by those "in power". Served up over-priced, sub-standard, processed food and drink that they normally would't look at out side the stadium. Everything they want is seen as a problem. Look at the difference when Ashton Gate is used as a venue for a big Rock Concert by an outside promoter. I went to the Who concert some years back. The whole emphasis was on giving the audience an amazing time. All those noisy fans shouting and yelling were welcomed as the ones who would help create the atmosphere?? A big game at City is perceived as a massive headache for the "Stadium Manager", all those extra potentially violent sweary fans running amuck. The coppers rubbing their hands with glee at all the overtime, ready to wind the fans up to make a bit of trouble so they can ask for even more overtime the next time. All very primitive. Wouldn't take much to improve the match day experience week on week. Glad to hear that Spurs fans will be treated like human beings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only us uneducated Brits that think it's 'posh'. It's the European 'Ploughman's lunch'. However...paying 19G plus 30G up front for a couple of seats and restaurant access, with window on to the players tunnel is hilarious. Talk about watching the animals at the zoo...wtf!

red'tili'mdead Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hows it going to be a generic bowl with a 17,000 home end??? Its going to be tre closest thing we have in this country to Dortmund's yellow wall. IMHO its going to blow every other ground in the country out the water when completed. The point of all the fromagerie/ glass tunnel rubbish, is so that the day trippers/corporates can subsidise the 'core' support in the Home End - which if it actually happens (?!) should be v much applauded.... I would like to see us build a 'mini' 12,000 version in place of the Atyeo one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even particularly keen on the corporate side of things being part of football in the first place, although it's here to stay now and there's nothing we can do about it. Will depend on how much the tickets are for this home end before I applaud it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that 7,000 of the 61,000 seats will go to corporates. That is a hell of a lot. West Ham fans must be seething. Anyway, our little 27,000 stadium looks great. apart from the atyeo end, it now really lets the whole look down in my opinion, are we really not ever able to improve it. maybe blend it in a bit better.

Oh I don’t know... decrepit, crumbling terraces, very few seats, unsafe surroundings, frequented by blood thirsty lepars and with poor sanitation. No modernisation in decades. It’s reminding me of somewhere... I just can’t think where..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
