Away dressing room

[Balham]

We can show off

The Bayern Munich/1860 Munich dressing rooms are vastly superior to the away dressing room with warm up areas attached and better showering facilities. The away dressing rooms look like Ikea stripped of any furniture and I think your only option is the group bath.

Moving to the Allianz Arena hasn't done too much for 1860 though! They're broke and had to sell their share of the stadium to Bayern and they're now paying rent to Bayern too.

The home team dressing room at the Nou camp is suprisingly meh.

The opposite side of them is a team bath and only 2 toilet cubicles.

I understand that Harry Bassett used to insist on cold water only in the away dressing room. It's common place to treat away teams differently and anyone who suggests that the away team should be treated as "guests" has a serious sanity bypass.

Am i right in thinking Blackpool have a s**t away dressing room with no hot water? Sure Holloway or the chairman came out and said he aint bothered about it. Also been in Leeds away dressing room and thats tiny! Thought it was standard in every ground that the away teams is not as nice as the home teams :s

That's what will beat Crawley Town this weekend at Old Trafford. The changing room will blow them away!

I had an overseas visitor a couple of years ago, who wanted to do the Old Trafford stadium tour and against my better judgment, I took him there. £11.50 to get in on a Monday morning and for me, it was purgatory, so many unhappy memories, semi-finals, league defeats, though I did see us win there in 1973 and Franz Carr scored in about 1992.

Anyway, my most abiding memory is that the home changing room is unimpressive and not at all plush and the adjacent players' lounge is tiny.If that's the case, then the away dressing room must be miniscule.

I could never follow a club where the teams appear from a tunnel in the corner, it's just wrong.

The home dressing room at the Maracana is suprisingly shit.

There is just a row of seats that are exactly the same as the ones in the stadium and one peg per seat.

Both changing rooms were shit at the San Siro, but the away one is worse than the ones at Graves Park, although without the smell of last nights ale farts and Deep Heat.

Compare your bedroom with your spare bedroom, if you have such a thing.

Have you got a better bed than the spare one? Is the quilt on yours nice and toasty? Is the decor nicer - after all, it's your bedroom so you'll want it nice, won't you? Have you got lovely matching Scandinavian furniture, or antiques? Is it just to your liking, or the wife's liking?


Now, compare and contrast with your spare bedroom.

Has it been decorated since you moved in, all those years ago? Is the bed your old one, with the "well worn" (ahem) mattress? Do you store your odds and sods under the bed, with clothes your wife has no intention of wearing but won't chuck away, ever, in the mismatched wardrobe and rattly old chest of drawers? Is it, in short, a room to stick the mother-in-law in when she comes to visit, adequate for storage of old tat in more ways than one, but as welcoming and cosy as a bus shelter? In short, somewhere to house her on the cheap but encourage her to bugger off back home as soon as?

They are like that? Fancy that.

The AC home dressing room is better than the Inter one with the Rocero style seats and loads of TVs. However I think most clubs dressing rooms are nothing to write home about as they only really use them on match days and all the money is spent on top of the range training facilities.

To hold the number of neutral games that old Trafford does i would have thought that there would not be much difference in the rooms except that if say the visiting team want certian facilites like a massage table in there then they have to bring there own.

The dressing rooms at Wembley are unbelievable with individual wardrobe spaces and even a warm up gym. Didn't make us play very good did they ?

There was no hot water, or if I remember rightly - there may have been no running water.
But Ian Holloway made his chairman fork out for the work to be done to bring them upto scratch.

Much of what you say in your many other posts makes sense but you must have gone soft in the head on that one. Now we know why. It's a battle, not tea and stickies with your Mum's friends kids.
