Thanks: Gave 10, Got 40 | New Arsenal stadium
Took a few pics at yesterday's Bergkamp testimonial. It's the second time I've been to the stadium now, and it is stunning. Even though the capacity was capped at 54,000 yesterday for health and safety regs, the atmosphere was cracking - much better than Highbury.
Full marks to McAlpine for a fantastic job well done. On time and to budget, even with several time consuming delays forced on them by the council. Could teach those Aussies building Wembley a thing or two  |

Wow! That stadium looks amazing - will have to come and say hello when City play there. We'll be accomodating guests, we'll let you batter us three or four nil!

I watched this on the telly and it looked excellent, fingers crossed for a Forest FA Cup run so we might have a chance of playing there

I saw it in the TV too. Bergies testimonial. Looks fantastic 
All i can say is that i hope Roman Ab is a jealous sort of person and digs deep to get Chelsea a nice new stadium.

Here's a few more. Haven't had a chance to colour correct or crop/edit, so they're 'as shot' straight from my camera. | |

Looks awesome - the only thing is when you look at the pictures via Imageshack you get a load of pop ups!
