swansea ram Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 What's it like up there. it's the only part of the ground i ain't been in. Is it any good up there, or are they all miserable baskets. Coming up for the kerdiff game. Hotel £28, ticket £13, petrol £140. Could listen to it on radio Wales for free, but it's not the same.

swansea ram Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Not good for what, view or atmosphere. I know a few who are coming up for this, so want to give them plenty of abuse. And make sure they see me doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 View is brill. Atmosphere poor. You'll be able to pick any seat. If you want atmosphere I'd suggest sitting in Stoke On Trents ground. Hope you get to brag all the following week mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombc Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 As said before, views good. If the stadiums full the atmosphere can be half decent by our standards as well, but I can't imagine it being full to the rafters for cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i84est Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 View is good no atmosphere there as hardly anybody there, and you'll probably be told to calm down and stop shouting abuse as you'll stick out like a sore thumb there. But you can get sorted out at half time very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 according to Wikki the original plan was for a detatched main stand and a horseshoe of complete stands. but it was decided before opening day that the corners should be filled in and one of them was done before the Queen turned up, the other still under construction leading to Prince Phillip quipping to the builders "havent you been paid yet" Here is a picture of how the main stand would have looked http://www.ehsmithmajorprojects.co.uk/dynamic_pictures/pride_park0001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansea ram Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I knew i should have bought the ticket last week. Gone up to £14 now. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/angry' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' /> Bloody yanks. On the bright side, the hotelhas been booked. £28.70 for the night, in the travelodge.

ramesses Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 http://derbycounty.me.uk/Postcards%2019512000/scan0023 another one with the Sout West Corner missing News from the future… Following a meeting with angry fans, the board admitted that selling the SW corner for £50 and a packet of crisps was probably a mistake. “The drive to ‘break even’ clouded our judgement”, said Mr Appleby.

Alph Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Stoke's looks rubbish with corners missing. Not like say Forest or someone when it has that old ground feeling. Just a new ground without corners looks pooh. I like 4 stands and floodlights or a new bowl with some originality. Now it's like cutting around a template. "Rick! Is this one red and white paint or blue and white?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
