Ayrshire-SFC Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 What will Edinburgh city do in way of spectator area for games that would draw over 500? Seems like there is no standing areas around the pitch aside from the seated area 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst not all new stadiums, here’s a link to the best thread in Twitter history. Prepare to lose and hour or two trawling through it. Enjoy. Would love to see a match in El Cilindro. Up there with La Bombonera in the incredible atmosphere stakes. Actually didn't realise how close Racing and Independiente were to each other until seeing this pic. That looks like it's Dundee levels of proximity. Edited December 27, 2018 by Nightmare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent ages on it. Also kind of annoyed I haven’t managed any good photos of stadiums from planes before. Had a great view of the Emirates last time I flew into London City Airport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initally 17,500 with the application covering expansion up to 23k. Current capacity at KR is just over 10k. Also to include a music venue with capacity of 1800, hotel, supermarket, housing, small cinema. link The associated retail/leisure development at Newlands has been a hot topic due to objections from the owners of the town centre mall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there is no standing areas around the pitch aside from the seated area Are Edinburgh City planning on moving back to Meadowbank? Last I heard was the statement from February 2018 below, and there's nothing more recent on their website about it: "Edinburgh City Football Club has been one of the principal users of Meadowbank over the past twenty-one years and, indeed, it was during this time that the Club secured its historic promotion to the Scottish Professional Football League. Whilst representatives of the Club have met with City of Edinburgh Council on a number of occasions to discuss the proposed redevelopment of Meadowbank, the planning application submitted to the Council does not, as it currently stands, reflect the requirements of a Member Club of the Scottish Professional Football League or the Club’s aspirations for the future. In particular, the proposed 500 capacity spectator stand and single turnstile are insufficient to accommodate the level of attendance which has been achieved at many of the Club’s home League and Cup games in recent seasons. Furthermore, it is the Club’s view that the provision of just three rows of seating will offer a very poor viewing experience for spectators, while there is no obvious provision of a pitch perimeter barrier separating the spectator stand from the running track and playing field. The proposed changing facilities for players and match officials are also of concern and do not reflect the space requirements of modern day Professional Football Clubs and refereeing teams. In addition, the failure to provide standalone changing facilities for players and match officials would result in them mixing with other Sports Centre users in the circulation areas before, during and after games which is simply not practical. In closing, the Club would be happy to discuss its concerns with Officers at a mutually convenient time, however unless significant amendments are made to the current proposals it is highly unlikely that the Club would be in a position to return to the new Meadowbank at the end of its current ground share agreement with Spartans Community Football Academy at Ainslie Park Stadium." http://www.edinburghcityfc.com/2018/02/14/club-statement-meadowbank-stadium-redevelopment/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like an uneven knock-off of Millwall's "The Den" and worse lights. Fair props for trying something different, but I find it revolting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
