it won't be hosting any fans so all they need to do is take care of the pitch. and besides, another big stadium in bloem would really be a waste.

that's a home to Celtic and they rarely use Vodacom Park. 2010 has came and it will go but the stadium will remain forever for the pessionate soccer loving people of Bloemfontein.

Yeah I totally agree.Of all the teams in the psl that deserve a grand stadium its Celtic. The LOC should have used this opportunity to reward Siwelele for their unbelievable support.

Couldn't agree more, I think in one of the threads on this forum there was a list of average attendances per team for last season. Celtic had a higher average than the Cheetahs.

true. the club has actually won a few awards for their fans' behaviour and enthusiasm.

I know, they're probably the best PSL fans in the country. What is the situation with the Free State stadium, does Bloemfontien city council own it, and if so how long if FSRU's lease on the place. I'd love to see a fair gorund share between the Cheetahs and Bloem Celtic. Celtic is getting too big for a 20 000 seater stadium.

true and I wonder if plans are in place to counter the situation.

haggiesm · February 11th, 2010, 08:36 AM

That's what I was asking about in my prevois post. I wanted to know how the deal with the stadiumworks, whether the city controls the stadium or FSRU.

Celtic seems to enjoy more support at Seisa than at Vodacom Park. Seisa is right in the township where people can either walk or catch a local taxi.

world cup venues run on generators...why don't they use them now to test them?

crazydude · February 12th, 2010, 08:23 PM

My take on the lights: Lights went out, shit happens. What I care about, is why the lights didn't come 'all the way' back on. Watching on TV, it looked like a club game.

Inertia · February 12th, 2010, 09:06 PM

Looks like the renders. Cool.

Lutzno · February 12th, 2010, 09:23 PM

are they keeping the white/off white/grey/light blue/blue/random mix of seats. i remember they replaced a small portion of one of the corners with dark blue seats, are they not going through with it?
