Village Idiot Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 What kind of attendance did the Torino teams pull at the Delle Alpi? Can't believe a team that was playing in a 70k stadium (and is one of Europe's greats) can't even fill a 27k one at this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Had friends in Turin that were absolutely contempuous of Juve. Swore up and and down that Torino was the only club for the people of the city. Juve fans, according to them, all lived elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuilding a new version at the same site without the running track as we speak. Only going to hold 41,000 though instead of being unnecessarily big, although as discussed that will be far too big also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one liked the Delle Alpi originally as it was wank but as no-one seems to turn up at the ground they currently use it seems a bit of a waste of time.

It was relatively new, but it was part of the disgraceful set of works for the world cup in 1990, and so pretty useless and not properly designed.

Village Idiot Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Found this bit in the stadium's wikipedia entry... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadio_delle_Alpi Construction on the stadium began in June 1988, and due to the use of prefabricated concrete, was complete within two years. The delle Alpi was built by the council of Turin, with both of the city's football clubs using it as their home ground following the closure of the Stadio Olimpico. It was originally intended to be used for not only football, but also athletics, therefore an athletics track was constructed around the outside of the pitch. However, due to the lack of a warm up track, the stadium has never been used for a major athletics event. (First time I use this icon here, I think!)

gazza ladra Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Looks like Turin might learn something from the movement in the United States to build sport-specific stadia. In the fifites, sixties, and seventies municipalities built a lot of these huge concrete monstrosities that were supposed to host baseball, American football, soccer, concerts, and whatever else and they were uniformly unsuitable for anything. Beginning in the 90s, I think, the baseball clubs began building baseball-specific ballparks-- Baltimore was the first, I think-- that were designed to highlight the game itself and these were very successful. Here in the Bay Area, the San Francisco Giants built a baseball-specific park to replace the notorious Candlestick Park-- remote, cavernous, cold and dilapidated, and their attendence shot up from an average of 20,000 a game to 40,000 a game --- even though the capacity of the new stadium was smaller.

ponsaelius Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 i`m pretty fed up with this game now, the ref has f***ing ruined it totally. These games used to be pretty good to watch, this has turned out to be a total mess We always hear the stereotypes about Italian football and the bought referees, but how bad is it actually? I'm reading a book at the moment about an English bloke who follows Hellas Verona to every away game and he talks in depth about how convinced he is by the bias of referees (ironically, particularly to Inter on this occasion) Is it actually as bad as what is made out?
