Looks a bit like that Fine Fare supermarket that used to be up Castle.

Is this the one with a capacity of 30,000 which can easily be doubled once they get to the Premier League? ;D
PS which Rugby club are they going to share with? I thought Cardiff already had a ground right next to the Mil Stad - so close in fact that they prevented the Mil Stad having three tiers at that end of the ground.

That looks like:
1: The outside of a sealife centre
2: The loading screen of a Commodore 64, or
3: That shite mosaic tile pattern on the walls of 'Castle's subway undepasses.
WTF???
Good old Ridsdale. Get your new stadium built in the middle of the biggest property value slump in 18 years and the worst global financial crisis since the Wall Street Crash!!!! ;D ;D

I think it is rather satisfying that it looks worse than Swansea's new ground!

wizardofdribble - I like Swansea's new ground, what gave you the impression that I don't? That is why I am happy that cardiff's new ground looks worse. I quite like Swansea - I have several good freinds who come from there.

That is horrendous!!!
I thought the first picture was a joke, it looks like an odd Ikea bar code.
Looks a pretty bog standard new plastic stadium, a worse version of Shrewsbury towns'! The only good thing about is it is enclosed, really can't see them filling it in the near future, it will look worse than Coventry's soulless half empty stadium.

Why can't clubs be more creative and build more interesting stadiums?  |

Yeah ok so the outside design is crap but hey at least the corners are filled in. Ours looks shit with those great big gaps

I'm doing a lot of work in Cardiff these days and regularly drive past the new stadium. Looks ok to me, handily placed right next door to Ninian so they won't have to find new boozers / car parks etc like we did. A drive into Cardiff at the moment takes you past a sizeable athletics stadium, then the above new ground, Ninian Park, the Arms Park and the Mill Stad.
And yet not one holds sheep dog trials. They're missing a trick.

Post by starkiller on Nov 17, 2008 17:26:41 GMT
At least they've attempted to cover up the metal supports on the outside. Ours look shit with them exposed.
If theirs looks like Lego set, ours looks like a fucking Meccano set.

I'd be a bit worried when the lamp posts are taller than the stands

Would it really be that hard to start a stadium from scratch built in the old style, like grounds of old? Obviously I mean without the restricted views and with modern facilities, but is it that impossible? It'd make a nice change from crappy stadiums like this.

No builder , but presumably there's a model for how to fit the most seats into the smallest space x cost...
Producing 3 versions , the Scunthorpe , Chester version , the Leicester , Reading type one...and the bespoke versions that seem to come in at 350m plus ..if you want anything out the ordinary then it appears you pay anything from 70-300 million extra for the priviledge

Its nice to see in the first two pictures that our piss stained cladding from the back of the stands has been re-cycled.  |
