:lol: :lol: West stand upper upper anyone? :D

World Cup stadiums come in all shapes and sizes but next year’s tournament in Russia will break new ground with fans at one venue seated outside.

Architects working on the Ekaterinburg Arena have come up with a unique answer to the tricky question: how do you seat the Fifa-sanctioned minimum of 35,000 spectators when the stadium has a capacity of many thousands less? Simply build a stand outside.

It's like the Worthing Beach stand at Withdean...

Looks shit.

Think we should have been designed to have 35k if England ever got a world cup? Brighton would be a great host city. Could we squeeze 4750 in somewhere?

The capacity is 30,750 I think. So only 4250 extra to squeeze in.

I wouldn't feel safe on ANY of that. Especially if it was windy.

It's just a giant (and massively raised) stand from Withdean isn't it?

Especially if there's a ruddy GOAL and everyone starts leaping about. Or doing that thing we used to do at Withdean when everyone stamped their feet. Gave me the right willies that did.

If ONLY there was countries around the World that were completely World Cup Ready.

Oh hang on...

This is what the English bid lost to? What a joke.

It's the primary reason we lost. England could stage a World Cup tomorrow, but FIFA would much rather take it somewhere that needs major investment in stadiums and infrastructure. Big lucrative contracts on lots of vanity projects, $$$ flying around all over the place along with the incumbent kickbacks that will inevitably be part of it all. And left behind after the party is over - a whole series of white elephants, and local economies decimated with debt to pay for them.

Its the FIFA way.
