Enjoyed that, I wonder whether their fans whinge as much about the idea of a smoke bomb as our lot do.

Maybe those who are affected by or don't like smoke bombs avoid sitting in the ultra end?

You are wrong. There's also shots of it being used inside the stadium behind the goal

Just been on their website. They have safe standing behind the goal @£15.40 (22 Dollars)

It's a new stadium and it looks like they've got a good community spirit going there.

According to my mate Steve its the best stadium he's been to, and he's been to more than a few around the world;

Said I could be wrong  ;)

Their away end is promoted as an ultras stand and they presumably warn other fans about sitting there if they have breathing issues etc. Still, pyros are banned from stadiums in this country so nothing to worry about  :whistle:

I was in Orlando when they played that first match at the new ground, didn't even realise it was on or I might have tried to go to it. Watched a bit of it on TV and the stadium does look quite good, I think they have built it with one of the stands behind the goal as terracing. England women played there a few days later, we ended up being on the same flight back to Manchester as them.

Used to watch Portland Timbers when we lived there. Excellent experience. Awesome atmosphere, craft beer that you can drink in your seats. Decent food options too. Pisses on what is on offer in England.
