Why do stadiums do that ? rather than have the top tier go all the way around? Looks like they ran out of Lego bricks.

I have no idea. Agreed it looks stupid.

Good vantage point for those above to spit on & pour drink on those below.

In the case of the millennium that stand is some of the old stand from the national stadium that was demolished for the millennium to be built where stood - but that stand the north stand was partially retained.

 

This is lifted from wikipedia...

 

The WRU were unable to secure enough funding to include the North Stand in the new stadium and the Millennium Commission would not allow any of its funds to be used in any way for the construction of a new stadium for Cardiff RFC.[39] The WRU held talks with Cardiff RFC to see if it would be possible for the club to either move or secure funding for the Cardiff Arms Park to be re-developed, but these were unsuccessful. The stadium thus had to be completed with a break in its bowl structure in the North Stand, known colloquially as Glanmor's Gap, after Glanmor Griffiths, then chairman of the WRU and now a former president.[40]

 

Any future renovation to the stadium will involve replacing the old North Stand of the former National Stadium with a new one similar to the three existing stands of the new Millennium Stadium. This will make the stadium bowl-shaped and will increase its capacity to around 80,000. It will resolve the existing problems of deteriorating concrete quality on the old structure in the north stand.[44] However the WRU has been more resistant to the proposal in recent years, stating that the concrete has not been deteriorating in recent years meaning the cost of replacing Glanmor's Gap would not justify the limited increase in capacity it would provide.[45]

Maybe it's just me and my wishful thinking, but I think there's a faint whiff of Hicks and Gillett about this cunt.

Faint whiff?  I think he reeks of G&H.  Especially the comments about buying Dyche a different type of player.

Agreed and full of so much shit.

 

I don't think I could walk into more hatred and pressure than I've seen in Brazil.

 

Be prepared fella, whether you're alive or dead their hatred will surpass anything you've seen before.

Yea, funny as fuck that.

This Jake O'Brien thing definitely has this Textor's fingerprints on it. Shifted from Palace to Lyon (two clubs he owns) to Everton. The fact he's yet to have a minute of league football at Everton would suggest Dyche isn't a fan too.

 

It's also interesting to see how unpopular Textor is at all of his clubs. They all hate him.

 

At Lyon he announced that he was selling off infrastructure to pay for 'player development and takeover debt'. That ground is definitely getting sold off if this takeover goes through and I'd imagine at nowhere near what the cost of building it was which is why he's playing down its value.

Perfect for the bloos then.

They can't keep hold of grounds these fuckers, if it's not paying rent or a US rich tit coming in and selling it its the woodlice. Who is he going to sell it too. Who wants it, you can only have one Tennant and they're wank.

BMD is like the anti-Tardis.  The first time people go there, they're dumbstruck: "It's so much more ordinary on the inside!"

[Harry Squatter]

They really can't take any criticism of their new ground and just keep saying everyone is jealous of it.

It's like going to Fenway Park where you have a big pole in front of you. You can't see the field but it's what's beautiful about it.

 

Dear o dear. He might be the first person to be booooed of the back an interview. 

[Anubis]

Passed Widnes Tesco yesterday. It may be smaller than BMD but it's not dissimilar in design. It's still a Tesco inside though.

I'm going to spread a rumour that your absence was due to a term inside for tree-shagging.

It’s mental proper mental. Her brother has got a last man standing group on WhatsApp. Loads went out the last few weeks with Everton and then Chelsea not winning so only a handful of us left. I haven’t picked Us, City or Arsenal yet so I jokingly said you may as well pay me the winnings now like Paddy Power have done on Everton getting relegated. His reply??? “Here he is gonna be gutted in a few years you lad” his head had clearly gone. My birds pretty sound she knows how shit they are and just says she’s not arsed because she loves them. Him though fuck me as bitter as they come he can’t focus when you say something about Everton you can see his head bulbing and the snide “oh yeah hahaha” pure aggressive snide.
