Thanks for that, appreciate the kind words.
However, I am only (in this thread) giving a personal opinion of MY experience at the new Globe. I absolutely love the place and spend as much time as I can down there. MY matchday experience could only really be improved by all my old North Stand mates joining me in the Main Stand - but I understand they prefer to watch from other parts of the ground, fair enough.
But, while I (and, in fairness most of the people with a different viewpoint) appreciate some of the club's philosophy in their design of the stadium, the views expressed on here, although not complimentary, are all genuine and sincere and, for the most part, constructive.
So I wouldn't want to start having a go at them for expressing those views sensibly and rationally, as they have here.
One small point of clarification though - it IS the club that's guided this project , the architects and builders work to their instructions, which have changed since the very start for various reasons.
I also believe that there is a genuine will to try to address some of the issues as and when those facilities that ARE great and of high quality start to bring in more money, which was the intention all along.
