Village Idiot Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Renovation? So they are not going ahead with the New Mestalla? They reportedly will, but it looks like it will still take a few years, and their current stadium was in dire need of a makeover (which they had been putting off, as they expected to move to the new one).

Village Idiot Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The bat was a symbol of the old Catalan dynasty that conquered Valencia from the moors, Barça also had a bat in our very first badge: http://arxiu.fcbarcelona.cat/web/thumbnails/199_150/Imatges/club/historia/escut_bo1.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Renovation? So they are not going ahead with the New Mestalla? They reportedly will, but it looks like it will still take a few years, and their current stadium was in dire need of a makeover (which they had been putting off, as they expected to move to the new one). I read somewhere that they needed to restart the work by the end of 2015 at the Nou Mestella otherwise the concrete would no longer be good enough to build on. Either way the old Mestella needed some desperate work anyway. Looked like shit (but class at the same time) when I went. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Valencia is one of the best stadiums I've been to like. Defo top 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmattis Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Valencia is one of the best stadiums I've been to like. Defo top 5. Watched a Valencia 1-5 Real Madrid game there a couple of years ago. Very steep stairs but a very nice feeling to the stadium, had a really good time before and after the game.

I was there for a 0-2 loss v Barcelona (Ronaldinho and Etho'o if memory serves). Loved the ground, hated the racism of their fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 :lol: A friendly between ex-Brazilian and ex-Argentinian players was played yesterday in Natal. Athirson and Mancuso two ex-players were responsible for picking teams. The promoters advertised that Caniggia was going to play and starting the game and it wasn't until a bit into the national anthems that they realized it wasn't really Caniggia who was there, but his ''twin'' ex-Newcastle player Daniel Cordone. Mancuso had then to in half-time explain himself and explain why he didn't show up and whether it was a trick to get more people to watch (10k paid to watch the game), while doing this he also had to explain who Daniel Cordone.

I particularly like that the sentence didn't have to end with is or was. Didn't he have metal welded to his ears or something? I'm sure I saw him score at the Leazes End and stick his belly out and rub it. We've had some dodgy players over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
