Was very impressed with the drawings posted up yesterday of Roma's proposed new stadium.
Can't help feeling that our place is already starting to be left behind in terms of design, innovation, and general state-of-the-art 21 century requirements?
Can anyone tell me when the initial stadium plans were drawn-up, as have feeling the architects were pushing the boundaries of 20th century design and build when we first decided to make the move from Maine Road.
I'm convinced COMS/Eastlands, whatever we wish to call it, is not, and will not age well, over the next couple of years.
There is little emotional attachment to the stadium for me, and one of the many reasons why I think our owners could and should look at a new stadium/major refurb before much longer.
Liverpool (eventually) Spuds and other clubs across Europe will all be in a position to take advantage of current methods, which will make our home look dated and shabby.
Some of the German arenas, Bayern's Allianz, Schalke and Hamburg, have all been able to retain a mix of the traditional with cutting edge design.
Do you see a time when our owners will not want to think our home as inferior (I'm reliably informed they were not particularly impressed with it, prior to recent internal cosmetic improvements)
They want the very best for us in terms team quality, yet we already have a stadium that will not be able to keep apace of the progress and ambition.
£400m for a new stadium, Emirates like £60k?
