Nice views and very impressive private boxes CCNo1 fan even mentioned he could success from the boxes has he looked at Old trafford. .

As a building site Manager i was doing my own inspections of the place and i found the external work to be of a good quality, but the internal finish was dreadful in places. plaster evident on ceiling trims, dirty windows and cills carpet that was short in in one of the exec boxes. overall impressions were that i know it is a new beginning but it is going to take o lot of getting used too. i will publish my snagging list once i have completed. one last thing, who ever is in charge of the bar then i would seriously look at the prices and improving the quality of the lager, it was bad to say the least.

I understand that it will be the South Stand to the right of the West Stand, all standing section.

Generally positive first impressions, despite the new stadium looking a bit like it's been based on a Lego model. It's quite different from any other similar sized new-build soccer or RL ground that I've ever been to, and the views from the main stand are pretty good, even at the back. And even if the rugby on the playing field proves not to be up to scratch, you can always watch the traffic thundering by (or crawling by, as the case may be) on the high level bridge.

Not sure that the car parks at the stadium are big enough at present though (there's still quite a lot of undeveloped scrub-land around the stadium that could potentially be used), or where folk refused entry because they haven't booked in advance will end up. (Overspill at Barton Airport perhaps?)

Nope your wrong, the away section is now the north stand closest to the motorway. The south stand is the home section.
