Now I'm a bit of a football ground enthusiast/anorak and what makes me and my fellow anoraks tick is not atmosphere (because fans create atmosphere not stadiums) its character!! And TCS is full of character.
I cannot abide bowl stadiums like cardiff, southampton and middlesborough and the same goes with lego/mechano built grounds like livi st johnstone and shrewsbury. Frankly VP now falls into this category!!
TCS on the other hand has the most unique main stand in britain, there's not another stand like it anywhere. We have two (temporary) tin sheds behind each goal which if our fans were abit more boistrous could make extremely atmospheric! One side is completely free but has a small open stand, a tv gantry, a small part of the old terrace left and all the catering facilties. I dream one day the west stand will stretch the whole way and be completely railseats/safe standing :D. Also we have two mahoosive floodlights with 6 smaller/original ones. Not to mention the fact that we're a stones throw from the sea, sit beneath a bridge and our club shop is a portacabin!
TCS has soo much character and thats what makes it GREAT. Apart from the old jailend roof staying, VP is very bland! So Dougal, you have been proved WRONG
