Apart from that FP is great and I certainly wouldn’t want an out of town flat pack. Fulham apparently had to buy a bit of the Thames to get the new stand going. As for ballpark, you’ll have to forgive me - just been reading a book on the Brooklyn Dodgers and Ebbetts Field.(29-05-2021, 09:22 PM)kindofblue Wrote: Swapping places with their west London rivals Fulham. Had a look at their new riverside stand yesterday. Craven Cottage is a lovely old ball park. Not sure Fratton comes anywhere near it, though people still bang on about the Archibald Leitch stuff......
‘Ball park’? Ffs When did Craven Cottage relocate to the US?
It’s a football ground, and Fratton Park certainly does compare well with it in the ‘lovely old ground’ stakes.
As for Brentford, their new ground isn’t a patch on Griffin Park imo.
Shiny and new yes, atmospheric no. I suppose if your main criteria is comfort and catering, the new one might fit the Bill, I’m more interested in the football myself.
Congratulations to Brentford on their promotion though, they play good attacking football and I wish them well.
