Planners approve Bristol City’s new ₤60 million stadium

[Lyndhurst 14]

Still waiting for the Secretary of State’s approval – and seeing as they are not Brighton that will probably be a formality.

Look like an ugly box - no where near as classy as Falmer!

That is so dull! Looks just the same as their current ground, you sure this is the right picture!

No wonder the picture is in darkness if thats all they're building.
Looks like a giant B&Q with the roof off.

That is a flattering picture too! I think it will be one of the few new builds that is worse than the stadium it is replacing.

The Parcel Force Stadium?

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

This one looks even worse if that's possible

sorry, cant do a link but if you go on skyscrapercity there is a thread where almost all posters are highly complimentry on its design.

After all the shit we've been through over the last few years, it feels so good to be able to slag off other teams grounds, even new ones.
Thankyou TB.

I suppose it all boils down to budgeting, but its quite startling just how unimaginative some of these new stadium designs are these days. Shrewsbury and Colchester being a case in point, but they're small fry in comparison. However, a big city like Bristol, you'd think they'd get something a little more iconic.

Is that actually supposed to be their World Cup venue if England gets it in 2018 then ? Just shows what a farce nominating cities such as Bristol and Plymouth was, if thats the case.

May not be as simple as they think - it is proposed to build it on green belt land and there is housing adjacent. Sainsburys have already confirmed they will buy Ashton gate if it goes ahead - next to those nice people from Focus DIY (!)

Whats that bit on the nearest part of the roof in the second picture? Looks like some kind of medieval torture chamber

 

[Cpt. Spavil]

that looks like a pile of shit lol

hahah we got a better stadium than them then

A video thingy:
BBC SPORT | Football | Robins unveil new-look stadium plans

I kinda like it being a bit different to the other new grounds about.

The problem with get all futeristic is that they quickly become shit. Probably against the grain this but imo Huddersfields stadium now looks a bit tacky but when it was built it generally amazed and impressed.

At least with B.Citys stadium it is functional and timeless

Reminds me of a rather messy Anfield.

I actually quite like it. Falmer will allways be special, we've got teh arch and things, it doesn't look good now but absolutly shite in 10 years time. THis will very much be the same. It looks farily nice IMO.
