Sort that disgraceful Witton Lane stand out first.I like the North Stand too, but at 6 '3 it's a bit uncomfortable.It’s bigger than that surely?

And the other thing is that they were built to last. The new grounds are looking outdated already.

And the other thing is that they were built to last. The new grounds are looking outdated already.I tell you what though. I go past Bramall Lane a few times a week, and from the outside of the South Stand and Kop (the bits you don't really see as an away fan) it looks really dated and you wonder how, with the Kop anyway, how the thing is still there. And the facilities for home fans are truly appalling, in comparison with the away fans at Bramall Lane, never mind our ground. The home fans have to go outside to a hatch to get what they want and have a wander across the outside uncovered concourse for a piss.
Anyone got this? Looks lovely. Aerial shots of football grounds are my fave, though, where you can see how they fit into their surroundings. I think there's a channel on youtube of a drone flying over various football stadiums, great idea.
I always end up watching the river when I go to Fulham away. Possibly because we are nearly always shit there.
FFS Fulham. Just accept that you're never gonna be big and leave your lovely ground alone.
