I had a meeting with Arsenal FC last week, and I was lucky enough to be taken to Ashburton for a sneak at the progress....
To see what mankind can make is pretty impressive.
60,000 capacity. Seats are just being TUV
Due to be completed June.

This had a budget of approx £400 million. On budget too iirc.
Each box will have a seating area on the balcony.

I've seen it from outside, but it looks amazing from inside! Pity my season ticket hasn't come through yet!

Amen to that! No identity at all.

Southend should be on there soon 
If your stadium / team name isn't on that list then your planning persmmision hasn't been accepted.
Unlucky Colchester Gonna have to share with Ipswich if they go up
