All i can say is that if 55000 people generate that kind of atmosphere with a friendly i can't wait for 90000 in an important game with the full senior squad.
I'll get some pictures up shortly, but damn its an awesome stadium.

Shame the boys last night couldn't do a decent job. Where's the fire in their bellies? At least Beckham would run himself ragged all match.
agreed - we seem to be still stuck in the same problem of showing loyalty to to many players - Frank Lampard hasn't performed for England for some time now and is still pencilled in as a guaranteed starterQuote:

hopefully the first game in the stadium will pick there performances up
Our game was shocking to say the least. I gotta agree with Terry when he said he just doesn't understand why players are so different in a white shirt from their usual colours.
If we continue to play the way we did we can kiss the Euro's goodbye already.
Us Jocks will come down and break the crossbar for you. :p
It really is staggering how England can't perform, the players are there but who knows what is missing...
...at least David Healy is keeping Northern Ireland flying high! Joint top scorer :)
As promised pictures are on the links below. They're still the full quality pictures so i'm linking to them rather than putting them inline.
It should give you a good idea of how impressive the stadium is.
Approach
(45mins before kick off approx)
First Looks
Kick Off
ABout 55k people in at this point, mainly as they are only allowed to fill it 2/3rds full.

TiG, I heard alot about the pitch getting cut up quite badly. Was it really that bad? Cos I've not seen any pics anywhere.
ta!
Look pretty similar in construction (from the inside I mean) to the emirates, which I've been to a couple of times. The 3 tiers seem to be 'higher' though. All in all it looks impressive.
By throwing empties at it :DQuote:

looking forward to going there. Wish i could get/afford tickets to the FA Cup
Looks very impressive, hate to be at the top though cause i suffer from vertigo :O
Sod it, you Jocks can come down and play there. It would be more entertaining than the crap we are producing atm. Never thought I'd ever say that.Quote:

its appauling - i didnt even realise Rooney was playing until now (half time) he's been totally out of the game
they need to stop showing this loyalty for some players and start bringing in players who are performing at the moment
I hear Muse are opening.. should be good.
