Lol, they will never fill that... Hate all the new stadiums, just like a concrete bowl...I prefer the more traditional grounds tbh.Alright, Chris. And nah, they're moving to a stadium, purpose-built for football. They'll be leaving that eyesore Hockey Stadium.
Not sure on the final capacity but I doubt they'll fill this anyway:

The Brigton keeper saved a pen against us a couple of days before on the Saturday, but he couldn't keep out the rebound :]
Lol i dont know a link to it but believe me it was bad! I saw a replay on our regional news. Yer he looked a good keeper and probably kept them in the game to be honest. A quick concentration lapse is what i believe it was as Yes ill admit that the ground was reasonably wet and slippery but the actual PITCH is of premiership class.
Couldn't agree more, the new bowls are soulless, un-characteristic, concrete rubbish. Why Darlington moved from the Feethams to the 'TFM Arena' rolleyes is beyond me. As you can see they're packing it out week in week out(!)

Even when teams do fill those grounds, I'd definitely prefer to be at a traditional, characteristic ground. I was at St. Marys for the Southampton match - which for the record we won 2-1! - We filled our away allocation and created a brilliant atmosphere but the stadium just seemed dull and repetetive :blue_doub
Im not sure some teams obviously do need a change For example bournemouth as it was to be honest a dump but i think teams like doncaster well they need to make the stadium a little more "soulful" if you know what i mean.
Yeah, I understand there are a lot of smaller clubs that need either rennovation to their current stadium or a new ground altogether but if you look at Darlington, Southampton, Doncaster, Leicester - they're all pretty similar. Slight variations with Coventry, Derby, Swansea and MK Dons but on the whole, the 'bowl' design's pretty boring. This calls for better architects and more original ground designs.
Anyway, we're swaying well off-topic, here. I'll have to try and find a video of the Brighton 'keeper later, sounds comical!
Yer it is try youtube or similar. Could find it on bbc.co.uk and then go to southern or Dorset whatever. they dont usually have anything there but as it was a local derby. Try it lol.
