    It's certainly better than the cobbled together mess that was WHL.
    I hope all the research and planning that went into the atmosphere pays off as that would be the one thing i'd miss about WHL

    There have been a reasonable number of games where Wembley's been good, which kind of proves that it's down to us because that really is a soulless ****ing dump. The early season PL games from last season were dreadful (especially Chelsea) but we got the hang of it. So, it's pretty much up to us as fans to make sure that it's as noisy and atmospheric as possible.

    The club listened to fans and created a home end and they're pushing safe standing to really assist in that. Honestly, I can't see it being anything but a resounding success as far as atmosphere is concerned. The vast majority of new ST holders aren't new fans like happened at West Ham and Arsenal was ****ing quiet well before their move.

    My main concern is getting all those people there in time and out again, especially for night games. During the game will take care of itself.

    Good to know, i've not made it to Wembley and i'm unlikely too (barring a further massive delay in THS). Hoping to hit up at least 2 games next season though

    Can't be worse than getting out of Wembley if you are driving. Getting out of a forty foot deep crater would be easier.

    I used to live in Wembley and wouldn't take a car anywhere near it on a match day.

    Unless they start playing the cup finals in August or over xmas/new year i don't think i'm gonna get a cup final in.

    Plus, i'd like at least one to be at the new stadium :)

    Fulham was my first trip and apart from a very slow exit, I really enjoyed the experience. The escalators up to the 5th floor was a bonus and the view was the best I've had at a football ground.

    So much work going on today in the open places. Haven't seen this much for a long time. Yesterday would have been the first serious public test event.
    Just wish we knew if they've sorted out the problem.

    It’s so they can put cranes etc on top of the sand.

    Edit: unless you mean the stuff on top the panels?

    Ah right, I think that is the first pic I have seen where the angle shows it clearly.

    And then in them if the reporting is biased. 1 month for every "will they be able to keep this team together"

    I've fixed my own fixing, straight to the dungeons for the tabloid press.
