Don't think anyone is claiming they are the same as when they were built though. I don't recall going to Hillsborough and ******* in an outside trench

Decent football grounds. A step up from some of the newer ones. Lots of those going to games are more interested in seeing a ground that's a bit different to the more recent identikit stadia being built in the last 20 or 30 years.

Have to agree. I managed to get to Griffin Park for Boro's game against Brentford before they moved and I loved the place. So much character. The new place is all beige paint.

We have no chance. We know we might win Euro 2028 as we're only up against Turkey.
Seems a bit odd though given we basically hosted Euro 2020/2021.

from a winning it perspective, yeh, we did. But from a hosting, economic, party of football perspective not really.

How many of those stadium have had all the stands replaced in the last 40 years? I'd guess Goodison and Hillsborough and Elland Road are hte only ones that haven't been completely replaced?

They will fill it Zoo. In the PL anyway. They fill 97% of the stadium every home game and the empty seats are usually at midweek cup matches. Unlike United fans who have loads of tourist fans the ticket prices are very high in a cost of living crisis And City like many teams don’t completely sell out those games.Man City submit plan to increase capacity to 60,000
