totally agree.if a ****ing bloke in a costume makes a kid want to go back and sit there whilst his dad watches the football.great. the kc shouldn't be a nice enviroment. my kids are kids,not fannys.
No, I'm right. I wouldn't have taken my kids to BP. I liked the old ground, but it was ****ed, rusty, **** seats, **** terracing, **** surroundings. The move to the KC was necessary, and instrumental In our most successful period ever. Our last ever game at BP summed the old ground up for me, a ****ing defeat! My first ever game was '87 v Bradford City, not a newbie, and seen some thoroughly **** times. All highs and lows!
Don't get me wrong , BP has many sh!t memories for most people, but better facilities usually means worse atmosphere. Soulless, plastic and lacking in charisma.
BP fades into almost nothing now - almost forgotten the place. Because of the time frame since then to now many big it up like it was some sort of Mecca. Apart from the pitch it was pretty naff. 1st game c1981 ish so also not a newbie
I think in terms of new stadia, the KC is pretty unique as it's set in Parkland which is a change from a retail park. You get a good view from anywhere in the stadium, without a post holding up part of the stadium roof obscuring your view. The only issue I have with moving to the new ground, is the atmosphere, it's shocking. When seats in the new ground were being offered out, they should have designated all the north eastern side from the centre circle to the north east corner to the singers, giving them carte Blanche choice at the time we moved somewhat diluted the impact. No Lacoste here.
I've got a couple of Lacoste polo shirts that I wear for golf. Cost me a few quid as well. No doubt me old mate Dovehouse will call me a **** for playing golf. Either that or call me a **** for wearing Lacoste. Take your pick.
Aaaaahhhh the beauty of forums. You start of with a simple question regarding a forum being down and end up with "your a **** if you wear a Lacoste shirt"
