I heard someone saying the football powerhouses in Europe play their matches just anywhere. Thats abolutely untrue. Italy plays only at the Stadio Olympico. Germany Plays only at the Berlin stadium with Blue tracks (what a beautiful track). I don't know where spain plays but i think its the Bernabeu. Portugal plays only at the Estadio de luiz. Russia plays at the that stadium Man U last won the Chanpions league. Wales still play at the Millenium stadium. Etc |

craziebone: St Andrews' (Birmingham City). St Andrews' didn't host an Englnad international during this period. All the others hosted one game. Portman Road hosted England's 3-1 victory over Croatia in a friendly match in August 2003. The Riverside Stadium was the venue for a Euro 2004 qualifier in June 2003, in which England beat Slovakia 2-1. Pride Park's only international came in May 2001 when England beat Mexico 4-0 in a friendly. Old Trafford hosted the most England games, 14. Stamford Bridge followed with 4 matches, while St James' Park, Anfield, and Villa Park all hosted three matches. The City of Manchester Stadium held 2 games. Other stadiums to host one game over this period are the Stadium of Light, Walkers Stadium, St Mary's Stadium, Upton Park, and White Hart Lane. I rest my case. 2 Likes |

craziebone:Not true. From 2001- first quarter of 2007, England played at the: Stadium of Light (Sunderland) Old Trafford (Manchester) and Anfield (Liverpool) |

omar22:. Middle of nowhere?, the new stadium at. uyo?, how can one type so confidently in ignorance. This is true though......with the quality of the stadium .....it should have atleast been more than 40k capacity......and yes Nigeria (federal government) didn't build the stadium, it was built by a state government........give them some credit. Talk of akwa ibom not being central.....then your argument could hold water.....lagos isn't central also and 'central' abuja hardly has its 60k capacity filled,,,,,,,,,but talk about Uyo not being a football crazy city and show your ignorance, a small street in a football viewing center in uyo had over 300 people watching stoke city vs sunderland, just to watch victor moses play and there are like 2 other viewing center in that street........and yet u think they wouldn't come out to watch him live?..........True......national stadium, surulere did that (hostile atmosphere) .......teslim balogun stadium was tried it didn't create that same effect......the northern stadium like sani abacha stadium in kano has that 'hostile atmosphere'........but those places are literally BOKO HARAM HOSTILE ATMOSPHERE 2 Likes |

craziebone: Why do u show such level of ignorance in a public forum? Italy's game this break will be held in palermo. B4 d world cup, they had games in Naples, Parma and other places. They play in turin, sicily, verona, etc. Germany's last game vs ireland i think was played in d Signal d' Iduna park. They also played in other venues. 4 spain, i can't even remember when last they played at the Bernabue. SMH 4 ur ignorance. 1 Like |

babyboy3:Julius Berger says otherwise. I'm guessing the base of the roof was made wide enough to support the addition of an extra tier of seating. Of course, the roof would have to be taken down during expansion. |

Re: Uyo Stadium To Host Nigeria Vs South Africa 2015 Afcon Qualifier by babyboy3(m): 11:32pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
CFCfan: Look I have worked on building projects, to take that stadium to 60k they will have to put 2 tiers on top of the original stadium, and looking at the structure I dont think thats possible, One tier (30k) will be very be big and too heavy to handle by the original structure, the other option which Man City did with the Etihad stadium was to remove the running track and dig deep and turn it into a football only stadium but that will take it up around 45-50k max will be pushing their luck |

babyboy3:Okay. We'll see how the future of the stadium will be. The stadium only needs an additional 10,000 seats for it to host a World Cup group game. |
Re: Uyo Stadium To Host Nigeria Vs South Africa 2015 Afcon Qualifier by aris2014(m): 11:41pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
babyboy3:Guy you are wrong, the space of future expansion is already there ok. When expanding a stadium you don't have to destroy it and rebuild it again. That's why engineer are involve not just ordinary builder . It can be expanded to 50 to 60k capacity |

Without doubt Abuja stadium is still the best in Nigeria followed by Uyo. |

CFCfan:a similar thought here too. And it still beats me. Since we've been building tracks in almost all our stadiums, how many of them are utilized. Cant we just phase it out and build only fields? Its like an african thing(always track) is it hope or what? @topic this stadium is truly world class. |

daveP:The tracks are meant to save money by not building a separate Athletics stadium. But I agree with you that the Nigerian/African of installing tracks in almost every stadium has to be jettisoned. |

CFCfan:it has to. Unless AFN comes up with a very vibrant idea that would make every single lane to be useful. I rem the last time i entered Liberty. The tracks were used for a primary school Comp. That 'save money' itch should be set aside. 1 Like |
