Have to say I thought pride park, riverside stadium and the bet 365 were pretty similar stadium in terms of design and layout, with ours looking the most incomplete.
However I have to admit ours is Buckingham fucking palace compared to the claustrophobic death trap that is the concourse in the away end at pride park. The facilities and layout were a joke. One shitty cramped toilet block for a 1000 odd fans in the side stand, and the shit placement for stairwells in the middle of the concourses made it feel like a we were sardines being packed in a can.
And I will never complain again about there being only one entrance to the bogs in block 24 at our place.

Pride Pk as a stadium is decent for me and what makes it better is the infrastructure around it.Bars,Hotels,Fan marquee,food outlets etc,all things we need more of at the BET365. I agree about the one toilet in the concourse area and I also think it’s very steep when getting up to the seats at the back but all in all it’s a decent stadium

I’m not saying our ground is good as, in terms of soul, it’s clearly vastly inferior to old school grounds in the heart of communities. But it’s better than pride park in terms of location. Ours is built into the scenery, looking half submerged from one side but being perched on a hill from the other. It gives it a bit of character at least. Pride park is just built on flat ground and is about as bland a location as you could envisage.
I know I’m clutching at straws a bit here and haven’t actually been there in over a decade, so maybe the area has been developed / my memory is wrong.

No retail business would think about building a coffee shop or restaurant at our ground because hardly anyone is around unless it’s a match day.

This is a very long time ago
I remember going to notts forest when they were European champions
At half time , the fans go behind a wall , piss up against a wall , then wonder vaguely back to where they stood before .
Who cares if you are watching great players
Brentford 2020 doesn't even have seats , where we stood , but that didn't stop them putting 5 past whoever it was at the weekend
Stuff the ground
Sign some players the fans want to watch .Like Wayne Rooney .
