premium seats at most grounds are alongside the pitch by the halfway line. id imagine some would be moved form the donie forde to the new stand to avail of the facilities.

How many season ticket holders do we have anyway. Not 1500 i'd bet.

I know it ain't gonna happen, but have a look at this picture of Atletico Madrid's
Vicente Calderon. Click on the image on the left to enlarge it. There's a actually a motorway (the madrid ring road) under the stand on the near side. So why don't we just build over the road

Some unreal ground there. Who knows, we might get to see them first hand next year in the UEFA, depending on how they do of course.

I agree that The Shed should be kept for 'hardcore', but the exec boxes are surley not going to sell if there's flares, etc going up all the time?

Might bring some excitement into the lives of those Nissan execs

yeah the people in the exec boxes won't know whats happening if the sheddies stay that side. also you will have a few sunshine muppets who will show up the odd occasion and decide to bring the family into that area and will be totally disgusted hours of mr.prendevilles time will be wasted on them giving out about the "foul language" haha should be highly entertaining!

Amsterdams Arena is build over a motorway or a train track, one of the two anyway.

I thought it was two years in which to build after you get the planning permission, and if someone objects then it gets an extention. I could/probably wrong on this but once you get the planning permission, it is fairly easy to work around it then, sure of course it is with FF in power !!

I was in DC United's ground two weeks ago for the SF against New England Revolution. I stood behind the goal with the crazy hispanic crowd. The plastic seats weren't a hinderance to standing at all - it made it more fun. Everyone was standing on the seats, jumping up and down and singing "y salta, y salta...!"
They also threw unreal amounts of toilet paper, and even brought in bins full of shredded paper and just threw it around the place.

I've mentioned this before, but its worth saying again - are City going to use the Blackash Park and Ride in any way. I think all stadium developments need to have adequate parking included. Given that there's no way to increase the parking around the X, wouldn't it make sense for the club to do some sort of P&R deal with the city council?

Will the seats be red (like the rest of the ground), or green? My preference would be for green.

They open late when a big crowd is expected, i used it for the nantes nimijen and bohs game. Price is reduced to �3 too. Its only a 10 minute walk away, although along a section of very busy road. Dont think such a short distance warrants a shuttle bus top the cross.

what about the nijmegen ground? their mixture of red, black and green looks class. i think we could definitely do something like that. would look really class having one bank of green, one red and then green again or something.

it'll be a sad day when the cross is all-seater

**ccfcman** · 23/11/2004, 9:22 AM

The Cross of the future? , I think that woul;d be a viable option for City to base any future stadium on, nice price also.

I don't know about building a stadium, but I've gone through the planning issue with regards to building a house. Planning permission for a domestic site development lasts for 5 years usually. Also, objections are only considered prior to granting of permission.

AFAIK, if CCFC have permission, then no one can object at this stage and there is a few years left in which to build. Also, it can be possible to get get an extension to the 5 years, but it's not guaranteed.
