Im not going to get wound up about you not filling the corners of your stadium, i couldnt give a shit

Old Trafford has its corners filled in and doesnt look like a 'crappy bowl stadium'

OT has been build up over time, so they were technically seperate stands to begin with, hence why it doesnt look like your standard shitting bowl such as Reebok or Emirates.

The whole idea was to have different looking stands much like older stadiums have, but with modern facilities and a bigger capacity. And mostly the diea was to have a totally seperate Kop - which we now have with an 18,500 capacity

Wouldn't class the Reebok as a "shitty Bowl"

Not really your typical "bowl" design when looking from the outside is it though.

Anyways, I dont care, we've still got the only the Stadium in the Country (as far as im aware) to win a "Building of the Year award"

Bowl stadiums give better viewing for fans anyway, so i couldnt really give 2 shits about your toss 'kop' stand. Our stadium was built with comfort, safety and luxury in mind, not how many people we can ram inside

Its your typical modern day bowl stadium - I drive past it more or less EVERY DAY between my apartment and parents/family/friends back home. You cant get much more of a bowl shape than that

I also wouldnt say that Emirates is a typical bowl stadium, yes, it has the same shape as other stadiums, but why is that a problem. The new Anfield has 4 stands, which is similar to 90% of ALL football stadiums

Yep is nothing like a typical bowl

Nothing is wrong with it, its just a bit boring, and also means expanding is limited, if not near impossible. And yeah 4 different stands is the same as most grounds, but the stands are different, not just a standard bowl.

Yeah it was the first bowl type stadium that I can remember, but due to the ease of build and low cost of that type of design its now becoming the standard.

p.s. The Ricoh Arena is the most soul destroying stadium I've ever been to. It's ugly as sin.
