Goodbye to Hell

[WaltonRed]

Galatasary play their last match at the ali sami yen tonight.

 

Mad mad place that.

 

anyone ever go?

[RedinSweden]

No, but I have been in the Grafton on a friday night.

[raininblood]

Only ever made out to be a mad place because you know who played them,remember at the time the commentators at the game banging on about the atmosphere,it was shit ! all done to big up them cunts.

[TaksimRakiClub]

I went when we drew 1-1 there in 2002-03.

 

It was lively and you had to be on your toes coming out the ground but other than that sound.

 

Not a patch on the Inonu for atmosphere.

[the paddock]

I went in 2002(ish), the first English team back there after Leeds.

It was a decent atmosphere but it generally is in Turkey anyway.

Must admit we went on the official trip though as we were a bit apprehensive about doing our own thing.

[reder]

Regretted never going there but I went to a Fenerbahce game last season. The atmosphere was immense. I have never experienced anything like it. The noise was incredible for the whole 90 mins and when the crowd bounced the stand was shaking. Atmosphere outside the ground was fantastic as well. Real party atmosphere. Mate of my misses lives out there now and goes to most home games and we are planning on going to the derby next season. Fuck knows what that will be like.

It will be interesting to see how they create an atmosphere at their new stadium. It's like a carbon copy of the Emirates, but the stands look steeper and much closer to the pitch.

The won't have much of a problem creating a better atmosphere then the Emirates will they?

 

The Wonder of You. Arf!

I never said they would have a problem. And yes, even a half-full Turk Telekom Arena will generate more noise than a full Emirates. I've no doubt about that.

Easy Tiger.

 

Wasn't having a pop at you but rather the pathetic attempts of the Arsenal heirachy to generate an atmosphere at what is a soulless, corporate-infested concrete bowl in N London.

[Soup]

No, but I have been in the Grafton on a friday night.

 

I've been the Grafton on a Monday night and lived to tell the tale.

[fowler9]

read the title and thought it'd be related to Roy Hodgson reign!

 

anyway time to vanquish that cunt from our memories

[Trumo]

The new Hell?

 

 

[Malarkey]

I don't like Turk football. It pisses me off.

[Antynwa]

Still looks somewhat intimidating. No running track.

[Malarkey]

 

KEEP IT SCOUSE.

 

SCOUSE POWER 24 HOUR.

[Skrtel Milk]

What was a typical Grafton night like?

[sir roger]

What was a typical Grafton night like?

 

I had my stag night there & a young lady who said she worked at Freeman Hardy & Willis bit every button off my shirt while dancing to ' We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time'. Absolutely freezing looking for a cab on West Derby Road trying to hold my shirt together.

The 'chicken in a basket' was something to avoid if you didn't want to die. And the carpet stuck to your shoes other than that it was classy.

[Newport]

The new Hell?

 

 

 

If we build a new stadium it should look similar to that. Only with a single tier Kop. I see it holds only 52,000 seats, but it really looks like there's more.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

What was a typical Grafton night like?

 

I went there when I was 16 with our pub football team for the Xmas do. 30 years of alcohol abuse and therapy couldn't erase those memories.

 

Was anybody at the Amsterdam tournament in 2003? Their fans were a bunch of shithouses that day on the train back after the match.

[Skrtel Milk]

Nice stories.

 

I think I read somewhere that the Grafton was a place were young lads would be hunted down by older women looking for some fresh meat. Is it still operational? :whistle:

JUST SAY "NO".

I want steep sides to really make it feel like the crowd is looming over the pitch. Our noise, in that way, would literally make the opposition need a change of shorts.
