Apart from the stairs I have to climb...My fault I know....I'm chuffed to bits with the stadium. Brilliant sight lines (Although I'm in the firing line from any pigeons after a meal of fab butts), great company around where I sit. The grounds are superb around the stadium. So many turn styles to go through speeding up entry to the stadium, ice cream, a club shop the size of Sports Direct. How do you stop away fans mingling with home fans when tickets hit general sale though? The majority of Romanians were not wearing club colours so you had no idea. I think the place needs way more stewards and security though, that's the biggest criticism. I can see a tragedy waiting to happen. Plus anyone else not had their bottle tops removed from the bottles heading into the stadium? My mother brought a bottle of ice in with her!!!!
Other than that, the stadium is a monumental upgrade from the one we had in terms of transport links, ease of access, facilities, snacks and refreshments and seating all for a bargain price of what Alfie said....£15 million!!! In contrast the Emirates cost £390 million and took Arsenal 10 years to pay off. in 10 years our stadium would have cost us under HALF what that stadium cost them! Sale of the Century in my eyes!
