Just reading the Aurora spiel tonight (
http://afc.co.uk/stadium.php) and wanted to highlight a section that I wasn't previously aware of:
Safe Standing Section
Many fans have asked about the detail for inside the stadium. Apart from the gradients, nothing has been set in stone and, should we be granted planning consent, we will be consulting with our fans on the design of the interior of the stadium. Our goal is to significantly improve the match-day experience for everyone with a focus on safety, comfort and atmosphere.
Why would the Council care two hoots about the "gradients"???
If this is relating to the height of the stadium, why not say this?
What would a few feet matter anyway - its a f*cking football stadium for christ sakes! Not as if the neighbour's roses are gonna be in the shade either way.
WE NEED A STADIUM THAT HAS STEEP RAKED STANDS - THESE ARE THE STADIUMS THAT
HELP MAXIMISE ATMOSPHERE
Think Tynecastle v Pittodrie, or Celtic Park v Ibrox. Put the same fans in these grounds and Tynecastle/Celtic Park always edge it for atmosphere.
Success in top level sport is all about marginal gains - lets give ourselves that edge from the start.
