I was there in 74 for the Zaire game. Must have been one of the first matches played there.
Yep, and the floodlights failed.
I could be way off here but had it in mind it was sampdorias stadium ?Ibrox was based on this place if I recall correctly.
No, it was the Westfallen Stadion. The stadium in Genoa was built fot the 90 WC. Ibrox was planned in the 70s.I could be way off here but had it in mind it was sampdorias stadium ?
Good shoutNo, it was the Westfallen Stadion. The stadium in Genoa was built fot the 90 WC. Ibrox was planned in the 70s.
coldest ive ever been at a match,baltic doesnt even start to describe it, was a guy a couple rows in front of us with his top off,f@ck that carry onGreat stadium, went there when we drew 2-2 in the freezing cold...
Horrible Stadium with a good atmosphere. It is typical 70's one big block of concrete. If you are near the top you need an oxygen mask to get up there. Then it is like watching ants chasing about. I wasn't impressed at all. The atmosphere is good though as it is always full with 80.000 fans.Fantastic stadium.
It was mate, the Great Wullie Waddell used it in the design, i was lucky enough to visit it in 1982 with the KP loyal, fine stadium & atmosphereIbrox was based on this place if I recall correctly.
I’m bored and doing a wee ‘virtual tour’ of some sports stadiums using Google Earth.
It’s even more evident that new stadiums such as the Spurs, Allianz in Munich etc don’t have a lot of “character” to them.
Signal Iduna - or as I’d more fondly recall it as Westfalenstadion - has some of that character.
Saying that, outside exterior view it looks kack compared to Ibrox. The more you look at stadiums around the world the more you realise just how iconic our main stand is.
Edit: the Velodrome in Marseille is some job too after the renovations. And I always liked the stadium in Genoa. “Toured” them today too.
Was at the last Germany v Scotland match there. The atmosphere wasnt great, I was in the yellow wall area and it was full of folk looking at their phones during the game.Been to a couple of Scotland games there, brilliant atmosphere no doubt helped by the fact Germany won both games!
It was never celtcs anthem!Another team that 'stole' the mentally challengeds' famous anthem and actually does it better than them anyway.
