Personally I'd think twice about going again, there just isn't enough around the ground, and the facilities in it leave a lot to be desired.

I think the whole weekend should have been left in Cardiff.

.There was nothing to see or do around the ground.

. Everything was too spread out.

.There was no decent concourse, meaning you had to trail a distance up and downstairs to get food.

.There was no atmosphere in the ground, it just didn't work due to the layout of it.



your thoughts please???

Nope, they can't close the roof. The pitch will always be uncovered.

From memory the new 6,350 tonne roof covers an area of over 45,000 square metres (11 acres), 4 acres (16,000 m2) of which are movable and rise to 52 m (170 ft) above the pitch. With a span of 317 m (1040 ft), the arch is the longest single span roof structure in the world and is 134 m (440 ft) above the level of the external concourse, and is designed not to cast a shadow on the pitch. Contrary to popular belief, the stadium's roof is not fully retractable, meaning it cannot cover the playing surface in inclement weather.

No, meaning nothing at all. 'Retracting ' means drawing back, i.e. opening. What they meant to say was it does not fully close, and so cannot cover . . . etc.

whatever


It's never going to be at Wembley anyway.


I just think that at this time of year it's just as likely to be heavy rain as sunshine and if you are unlucky you can have a pitch which cannot be played on for more than two or three matches in one weekend.

If you're ok with that risk then there are plenty of other stadia around.

Well, you live and learn
