I don't get this filling in the corners thing at all. I know it's common at all new stadia, but it gives a bloody awful view of the game. I don't like sitting behind a goal, but having a view when the corner flag is closest to the pitch is beyond awful. The worst view I had in 50 years of spectating was when Rotherham played at the Don Valley stadium, and because it was built for athletics you needed binoculars to see what was happening at the other end of the pitch. The best 'new build' I have experienced was the Pirelli Stadium at Burton Albion. A traditional four stand ground like Meadow Lane but on a smaller scale.
To guarantee success I would take the £900m and build a time machine to take me back to the day Jimmy Sirrel walked into Meadow Lane
A decent away trip for me of 25 minutes! A terrible ground for football. Not just the view. You could hear everything the players said to each other, - much like a Sunday league game. And 0-0 to boot. Rotherham were rescued by a good Chairman though in Tony Stewart, who had the vision to get the Club away from it's previous ownership and ground, and develop what is now the New York Stadium. Those years at the Don Valley were hell for their fans, I know because I worked with some during that period.
