it's rubbish of course - the best english grounds in my opinion (aside from anfield) were probably old trafford (essentially the same all the way round since the early 90s), st james park (ditto), highbury (until the north stand was built and the clock end seated and boxed, the east and west stands were essentially the same and the north bank and the clock end were both just big banked terraces). all were pretty well symmetrical. even the old stamford bridge with its stand on each side and then enormous terraces around the dog track was somewhat symmetrical.Egan wrote:Hear Hear"The asymmetric design sets it apart from other new stadia, as it is a clear move away from what is becoming the traditional bowl model. It recognises and makes reference to the fact that English football grounds were historically asymmetric. We make no apologies for that, we've gone out of our way to embrace that culture and it works
exceptionally well for both the new ground and its location within Stanley Park. This new design will be unmistakably Liverpool and instantly recognisable as our stadium.
and that's before you get to the big daddy of them all, wembley...
all that said, the internals are quite nice (though the render job looks like some bugger's been playing with google sketchup) and the externals... you can't see them from the inside, so it's all good.
