Tris Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Link to Pompey official site - pics. When the Russian bloke gets lost (or poisoned or imprisoned) ... and Pompey go bust, the receivers will be able to tow this round to Brighton and flog it to the Seagulls - everyone's a winner.

modes98 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Omg, when sea levels rise they won't need sprinklers Interesting design. Not sure if i like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cn174 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It certainly looks different from the outside. Reminds me a bit of the Munich stadium (sort of) But I guess inside it'll be same as any new stadium and won't have half the atmosphere of Fratton Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manc Rover Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 With their track record of dodgy strikers, someone's gonna be busy fetching balls out of the Solent! What is that monstrosity to the right? Is it Pompey's equivalent of Dubai's Burj al Arab hotel? Good luck to me though, anything would better where they are now.

RoyRover Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think that is a cool design. I love the way the light comes from it. It also reminds me of the Allianz Arena in Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPT KAYOS Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 So instead of going for a drink before the game yopu will be going in the drink. Possibly also a new line in away travel - by ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckyRover Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The stadium has been designed by architects Herzog and De Meuron, which is also responsible for the Allianz Arena in Munich - one of five new grounds built for the 2006 World Cup. BBC Sport That's why it reminds you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Maureen Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 What a fantastic location and design. At last some creative architecture for a UK stadium. Looks like it was designed by those great stadium designers,the Germans. Anyone know what the capacity will be. On a slightly different note,can anyone please tell me why all the seats at Wembley are red. The red seats make it look like OT the Emirattes Anfield,the seats should have been neutral white.

b12_simon Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Reminds me of the Bullring Shopping Centre in Birmingham as well Or the Big Silver Arse as it's sometimes known Back on topic: I suppose it lets us all dream of chucking that fecking bell in the river!

robborover Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It certainly looks different from the outside. Reminds me a bit of the Munich stadium (sort of) It's designed by the same people that did the Allianz Arena.

USABlue Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Looks absolutley 'orrible and about as far away fron what a footy ground should look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roar of the Rover Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Nice but it looks like a shopping centre which i saw in Dubai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob fleming Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 What about a Safety Certificate? How do you evacuate from the rear of the stadium in the event of a fire? Swim for it? It's a bodged job if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINRover Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Brilliant design and interesting location. Pompey needs bigger stadium because Frratton Park is too small for them. Only one problem, and it's what happen to atmosphere. IMO. At the moment on the Fartton Park is best atmosphere in Premierleague. Maybe when they get new stadium atmosphere going down. And after match you can going to swiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think that is a cool design. I love the way the light comes from it. It also reminds me of the Allianz Arena in Munich. Er...I really don't think it's going to shimmer like that. They're just trying to make it look better than it is. I also think those last two pics make it look ridiculous. Like some sort of pebble. I like the fact it's right in the harbour though...surely the only stadium located somewhere like that? Barring Millenium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It's a good looking stadium.. it'll be such a shame that they'll only be able to get one season's worth of Premiership footy in it once it gets up and running. All the atmosphere of Fratton park will be gone and their 12th man will desert them just like a few other teams who got new fancy stadiums have found out.

Yep, purely on the basis of those photos (which may of course be a bit misleading) I think it looks superb and if it comes to fruition I think most clubs who have had new grounds developed relatively recently will feel quite hard done by.

stuwilky Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Its a nightmare location travelwise though, not to mention its horrific appearance. However, its better than the rent a kit stadiums popping up everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
