South Stand

[grafikhaus]

I took a few pics. last week (Link) and must admit, it and the end of the kop are looking a bit tired. Too many cheap signs and a coat of concrete paint on the main columns and a lick of paint on the end of the kop (together with taking down that old banner) would improve things.

Still, don't suppose there's much money left after putting up the Jessica Ennis signs...

The Hotel looks great though doesn't it?

the whole place is 5 star compared to the grubby, seedy and rather dilapidated B&B across the city!

The South Stand's paint job done in 2006 is turning pink. Whoever decided that painting giant red and white stripes all over that building was a good idea wants a shoeing. We go on about the oldest football stadium thing, but then treat the ground like a kid's bedroom.

(ffs!)

PS - was that you taking photos in front of the statues at about 2.55. If so, I was the grumpy bastard walking past.

Nah, it was about 10.00 am on a Tuesday.

Agree about the fading paint. I've also seen loads of plastic seats (Sunderland etc.) faded to pink. Poor, cheap materials that last about 5 years.

I quite like the way that the lane looks now, its a weathered football ground.

The pink could do with a spruce up

As JD said, the painting on the back of the South Stand looks really tacky.

the red and white stripes look horribly tacky. really ruin the look.

i wrote that before reading the other comments. does anybody actually like the look? it really looks dreadful. like something out of the 1970s.

I stayed there, it feels the same on the inside and there is a big sheila that comes into your room at night and sorts you out.
