...Very disparaging there about a fine old stadium!<br /><br />I once went to Barcelona on the wrong weekend and took in a game at the Olympic Stadium - Espanol-v-Las Palmas. The place was enormous and empty. The two ends were covered with giant espanol flags, leaving fans just along the sides - the seats had no incline from the pitch, there was a running track to contend with and then massive advertising boards all around the pitch.<br /><br />If a player ran with the ball within 5 yards of the near touchline, you completely lost sight of the ball and saw not much lower than the winger's shorts!stuhowcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473033645728667301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540729346682547297.post-75823892096879007712012-02-28T11:08:40.876+00:002012-02-28T11:08:40.876+00:00The photo looks like the shit-tip that is Goodison...The photo looks like the shit-tip that is Goodison to me - where as an away supporter you have the pleasure of watching the game through what is effectively a letterbox due to the pillars and roof! If the ball goes more than 5 metres in the air you have no idea where it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
