They've done similar for the new one in Marrakech but it has a running track so it's just a wee bit from the pitch.

Love that type of design though.

Access to the away end at Kenilworth Road.

I've just been looking at Kenilworth Road on google maps to check that out, jesus that ground is shoe-horned in!

 

I quite like that aspect of it though tbh. Seeing how the ground/club fit into the community, the way the streets are aligned around the ground and the type of housing around it. Very geeky admittedly. :lol:

Gotta get to some of the old grounds before they all leave and build flatpack shite next to Retail Parks.

 

Ah the joys of standing below the pitch at Fratton Park because you're in the front 2 rows.

I always liked the look of Kenilworth Road when Luton were in the top flight, i would have loved to have gone to an away game there. Mind i remember Millwall fans smashing it up and I'm fairly sure they banned away fans in the 80's.

Who need safety and comfort when you can have decrepit stands with wood floors and aspestos rooves (Tynecastle).

Really want to go to Tynecastle like, love a ludicrously steep stand.

When there with Gateshead a few years back there was a wifey having a shower in her bathroom at half-time, unique half-time entertainment.

 

The little side stand has an alleyway behind that runs between it and the houses & the locals nickname it dogs shit alley, it's like an obstacle course. Also a couple of years back when queuing up to go in there was some bloke in that house to the right of the turnstile sitting on his door step cutting his toenails, it sort of summed the place up.

 

I'm all for character in grounds, and Kennilworth certainly has that  :lol:
