Is it to do with Forest?

Yeah it is i'm just not saying my piece first because I don't want peoples replys to be influenced and adapted to what I have said... And I've never been either what I mean is... Is it the sort of stadium you would want to visit wouldn't mind if forest were playing in etc...?

It depends. If it was half empty, possibly not.

There's another factor about the San Siro which is it is a shared venue.

I like our ground because it's 'our' ground.

Notts County haven't been shown to be exactly nice people to share a ground with of late.

I presume that's where you're going?

It'd be nice to visit but it's a pretty ugly looking thing.

The point of me saying little was so that people just answered how they felt about the ground...

And to be honest I like the stadium its nice to see a world class stadium that isn't round!!!

I've always thought it looked like something they could make a copy out of on Blue Peter with toilet rolls.

Aside from the fact it looks nothing like the Trent end.

No thanks! As someone else said looks like something they'd make on Blue Peter with some old bog rolls and some sticky back plastic

Did you answer the question? I have only had two answers so far.

Good point, I did not answer the question!

To answer your question, yes, I think it's a quality stadium. Teams like Inter and AC Milan wouldn't play in a tosh venue! The exterior of the stadium (in the images above) is vile and looks like it is still under construction.

Are we any nearer to finding out the point yet?

just to expand on my previous post after having a look on google images of views of the inside I'm not impressed with that - just looks like your standard bowl just with really steep sides.

The exterior too just appears to be a bowl. Not your standard identikit bowl granted but looks to be a very crude attempt at a bowl where they haven't quite got the design right so had to hold the roof up with some scaffolding and then chucked some external stairwells on the outside after forgetting to put them in

Sure some people will like it but just not my cup of tea thanks - I'm very firmly against any kind of bowl in any form

:D I Had the last laugh, Because my point of this thread is... Not sharing with county, Ha Ha its not that look at this development ain't its great give us a new stadium... No, infact its the opposite... this is what happens when you completely overdevelop, and keep adding bits on to, the stadium you start with... you end up with a horrible, unfit for purpose mish-mash... Who made the comment about the stairwells??

You all answered opposite to the way you thought I was going but ended up agreeing with me... My final point is, you are just finding any argument to keep the city ground by trent bridge, that is the only argument I have heard with any basis... and to be honest the scaffolding on the roof reminds me of the trent end but ironicly the san siro looks less "plastic" (which has been the basis for a few people's arguments)

GAME, SET, MATCH, CHECKMATE Whatever you want to call it I have just proved my point...

I wonder how many people pop up now and start saying its a quality stadium blah blah blah, now they know what my point was???

Pro-new-stadium fans gizza hi-five!!!!! :p

no matter how good the stadium is or even the team if you move away you will get a Milton Keynes Dons Syndrome,

also Reading a great set up but only reached by car, confined to drinking eating in the ground and park up late then add 45 minutes before you get away from the car park.
The socail side of it will be gone , No Amici, Globe, TBI, Southbank, Embankment Club, or Navigation to meet fellow supporters each home game.Oh I suppose there will be a stupid looking metal structure to have your photo taken with outside the ground.
Rebuild the Main Stand and stay at the City Ground or knock 5000 of of our 21000 regulars

The San Siro is an awesome stadium. I was there to see Ac Milan beat Roma in the title decider of 2004/5. Roma brought approx. 15k - 20k fans who all seemed hell bent on destroying everything in front of them. This made for one of the best atmospheres i've ever experienced at a football game.

The game was delayed for 20 mins in the second-half after Dida was hit (allegedly) by a half house brick. Walked back in to Milan after the game and partied in the main square until the early hours. Great stuff.

I am sure it's a massive fascinating ground but that picture from the outside reallly does it no favours.

I want a Rico Arena type ground. Nice looking just too bad we like Coventry would not fill it.

Nowhere to park, no pubs, no chipshops.
Agree it is very funtional inside, but not what I want or in the type of position I want.

Was talking to Erik briefly on Saturday aboutthe plans for Bristol City's new ground. You should take a look and read about the level of fan involvement. :)

I still don't quite understand the point of this thread or what I'm supposed to have agreed with.

Anyone like the idea of a bowl (Riverside) for one end and the other end a single 2 tier enormous stand like Villa's Holte? The end would become the place for die hard fans and would give us a bit of identity I.E. Kop, Gwladys Street, Holte.
I figured out the capacity would be around 42k but would look much bigger.

I could live with that mate if we dont end up moving and its possible I'd love us to rebuild the main stand joined onto the Bridgford to make a horse shoe of the BC, Bridgford and main stands.

Maybe even redevelop the BC stand to incorporate all the hospitality we need and state of the art dressing/treatment rooms and the like. Could even pave the way for what is now the main stand to become the Peter Taylor stand
