Sweden 1 year ago had 2 of those stadiums in the top 2 leagues. But OP-pic is being renovated (un-called for imo) and getting longside seating. However the 2nd stadium (pic rel) is a newly built/expanded stadium, a newly built longside that is 75% stands to add to the shortsides that are also stands.

The Oakwood, home of VCD Athletic F.C. in the 8th tier Isthmian League South East Division.

At least it was. The ground has new owners and the club couldn't agree a new lease with them. As such after 110 years they are folding and the ground owners will no doubt turn it into flats.

cambridge united's ground has a lengthwise terrace under the hard cam. the away fan allocation is on the left-hand side of that long terrace from pov of this photo.
also one of the ends is several miles away from the pitch for some reason. sometimes extra away allocations are put there.

i talked about Swedens top 2 leagues but i kinda wanna mention Falkenberg, 65-70% of one longside is stands but they only have 2 built stands (on the longsides) so that longside function as shortside stand and longside at the same time, if they were to go up a league they would prob setup a temporary shortside stand for away fans making the stadium 3-sided.

>>154313464
but its a modern newly built longside stand thats majority standing which is good.

Oh how could i forget, Current Swedish champion and country-side club Mjällby have an all-standing section on the longside and an away standing section one one shortside. though the other shortside is a relatively bigger newly built all seater.

unfortunately they will not play here from what it seems if they reach groupstage in an UEFA-comp. I dont think it would have been impossible to get it up to minimum UEFA-standard, tare the all-seater longside stand and build a slightly bigger one and/or get build more seats in the corners of the away end.

I have heard different takes

One take is that it English and Liverpool fans are too untermench too handle somewhat civilized stadium behavior.

One take is that it was just a scapegoat to bypass the focus on general mismanagement/incompetence hen it comes to stadiums and fans.

Another take is that it was a convenient reason to sanitize/overhaul the entire top level level english football, prize out who goes to the games, change the image, the stadium experience etc.. to make it into a modern product. but they threw out the baby with the bathwater with this one and made it un-soul.

Anyway what does stands really have to do with it, stands or seats are just physical objects.

They could have just switched to bleachers like our huge college stadiums

File: Malmo_IP.jpg (92.6 KB)

2nd biggest football-stadium in Malmö, 1 shortside stand is standing, half of the longside is standing while the other half is seating, 1 shortside is bleachers, the main stand not seen in the picture is 75% seating (the bottom 3 rows are bleachers).

So this is the 4th (could be 5 but op pic got demolished for seating ofcourse very recently) stadium in Sweden i could think of where 50% (or more) of a built and permanent longside stand is for standing. 2 of them are newly built, 2 of them are not that old or unmodern but still not new.

If you go down in the lower leagues in Germany and England there are quite a few clubs with many sides of standing (based) but those stadiums are old(just saying, im not complaining, im mosly fine with a sunken bowl in a forested area although its nice with some modernity like ex. a roof, if theres tracks around it thats not nice)
and usually when stadium like that are renovated or have new stadiums built elsewhere the standing% is not kept the same.

Carlton's Princes Park had some of the weirdest grandstands you'll see at any stadium. Sadly the Hawthorn stand (behind the far end rugby goal with the roof that swoops up) was torn down. The stand on the left is still there though.

This place hadn't hosted a major event for nearly 20 years until Melbourne City moved one of their asian champions league home games there a couple years ago for some reason. 500 stadiums in Melbourne and they landed on the one that is a football field with half rusty and falling down 120yo stands, half AFL club training facility

Also this pic gives an idea of how big a football field is compared to a rugby/soccer field.

This place is built on a hill as well so from the outside it looks huge but you're actually looking up towards where the pitch level is.

That's the result of "future-proofing", they want to someday move the pitch up so there's more space to develop other stands.
Chelsea did that when they built their East Stand (pic related) in the 1970s, and then the club went through a financial crisis and couldn't even afford the stadium (it was briefly owned by property developers) so for a while the club had an unaligned pitch (their attendances averaged as high at 40,000 in 1970, dropping to 12,000 by 1983).
Chelsea's financial crisis btw was bad enough that there was apparent conviction that no club would ever try building such a thing ever again. That incredulous assertion was also supported by the total lack of new builds in English football between the 1955 and 1988 (Scunthorpe United broke the trend with Glanford Park, which itself was built with a low capacity of 11,000 which also marks how much football attendances had plummted since the war).

>>154317307
