sky are salivating over it again..from what I see...for over £100m for 25k+ seats...and lot of concrete..it is way over priced and look like the tricorn centre that used to be in pompey

 

from those that have been...am I missing out on a great match day experience..?

Went to the Fatboy Slim, Nero, Jag skills etc gig there this year. Massively overpriced IMO. In the middle of nowhere, looks unfinished, poorly designed concourse.

Went to the game there last year - concourse is poorly designed - cramped, the corners weren't filled in at that time

and the atmosphere from them was poor apart from just that one big stand.

The one bright thing was the real ale!

Transport is a nightmare as everyone joins the same queue for the train and get on the same train and heard that its kicked off more than once.

For the amount they paid for it 90+ its poor.

Wasn't the public transport access one of the venues trump cards?

In the away end the have coloured lights to match the away end teams colours. It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen, and well worth the £100m or whatever alone. Oh, and sometimes Des Lynham is there, which really adds to the football experience.

Watching the Football League Show, there seemed to be plenty of empty seats against Leeds.

Went there last season. Nothing special. Lacks any character and the transport links are a nightmare. Both sets of fans are crammed onto trains and if I recall correctly a gobby Saints fan got punched on our carraige. The ground looks unfinished, whilst the main stand is quite impressive, the other three are ****. The one at the opposite end to us looked no bigger than some of the really old, tiny grounds we visited in League One!
