OhForAGreavsie 6,077 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I don't have anything against bowls. The Allianz is beautiful and the Emirates ain't bad either. While Arsenal's ground is dead, Bayern's rocks. Atmosphere has more to do with fan attitude than with the style of the ground. Granted 'safe standing' may play a part in Munich but it's still mainly down to the way fans support their team. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekid9 418 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Dunno why anyone would want a bowl rather than Stamford Bridge, It's unique, Is in a stunning part of London...it's got character! just need expanded a bit!

When plans (actual images) of a proposed move to Battersea were released the stadium was not a bowl. The club know we don't want a bowl, and the Chelsea pitch owners will see to it that we don't get a bowl.Is this now clear for you now?

OhForAGreavsie 6,077 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 LOL. Bayern's atmosphere is considered to be one of the worst in the Bundesliga Accepted but I wonder if you agree that Germany's worst atmosphere is better than the Premier League's best? Certainly better than Arsenal's and, come to that, ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a bit of a buzz, I can't deny it but nowhere near what it used to be back in the old 'Shed' days.The total thrill I used to get walking up the big steps at the Britannia gate entrance was amazing. Reaching the top and taking your first glimpse of the grass, or more often the mud, seeing the corner flags fluttering and the floodlights warming up was intoxicating. The highlight of the week was about to begin.It also took longer in the old days. You queued to get in and, if it was a big game, you queued a long time. That all meant you spent longer in the ground before kick-off, getting into the atmosphere of the day. By the time I used to arrive in The Shed back then, I wouldn't even have left home these days.I still love it but it's a very different experience nowadays. I certainly don't get the same excitement from just entering the ground that once I did. Maybe it's to do with age. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in Scotland, when I go to the bridge, I stay in the club hotel, eat at frankies or Marcos before the game, visit the shop etc...so i always have a massive buzz around the ground on match days/evenings seeing all the build up of fans etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lion 5 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Just a quick question. If the redevelopment of Stamford bridge takes place and goes ahead, would the CPO have any say in the design? Could they push for safe standing in an 'active' home end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
