Hmmmm.... *scratches chin*.... I think they should paint it with orange and purple zig-zag stripes.

Jaysus. Stade was already in the middle of nowhere but this place is epicentre of nowhere. No draw to stay in the area. Similar public transport issues to Stade (just further away). Why oh why?

Murrayfield, Landsdowne Road, Millennium Stadium...all great places to go because of the location. Stuff for fans to do around the stadia and easy to get to and from for away fans.

Surely, there is a Pavlovian lesson somewhere?

It's a smart move - the old convention of "sharing" a ground has proven to be a significant financial handicap across all sporting codes. For those clubs and international sides who own their own stadium they will, over time, significantly out perform financially those that don't. The only question is - can they get finance for this given the current economic climate?

It's amazing the value for money you can get these days. I assume the stadium for ¿500 deal was available on Groupon.
