Short visits to Etihad Stadium, Emirates Stadium, and Stamford Bridge Stadium

Assalamualaikum!


Hai semua! As promised, sekarang I nak share stories about my visit to the other 3 stadiums around London and Manchester. Yang jauh-jauh tu tak dapat la sebab tak cukup masa. Secara kebetulan, ke empat-empat stadium adalah tuan rumah kepada kelab-kelab yang mendahului carta Barclay's Premier League 2012/13.


Amboi cakap macam paham sangat. Padahal bukannya tau apa sangat pun. Ni pun buat research sikit baru berani share kat sini. Kalau salah tulis nanti takut kena belasah dengan kipas susah mati kelab-kelab tertentu. hikhik. So I went to the home stadiums of the four highlighted teams; Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, Etihad Stadium and Emirates Stadium. So, let us check the top 8 teams leading the league at the moment! :)

Etihad Stadium (Manchester City)

I personally think that this is the most beautiful stadium among all. Kawasan yang sangat besar dan selesa. Kalau naik bas dari Manchester city centre, perjalanan ke Etihad Stadium ni lebih kurang 10-15 minit je. A large number of buses serve the service to the stadium almost at all time so no worries at all. Tapi kalau nak jalan kaki boleh juge. Berpeluh la jugak ketiak rasanya kalau menapak. hehehe. :p



View from the main gate. I'm loving the baby blue theme all around the ground. Clean and soft.


Larger view. See budak hepi gila dapat sampai sini. Luas and lapang je pemandangan.


Kawasan ni memang dipanggil Sportcity.
Kalau sebut ni kat drebar kompem dia bawak mai sini laju-laju. hehe. :)



Emirates Stadium (Arsenal)

Stadium ni pulak yang paling senang nak access dari London City. Naik je underground tube Picadilly line, kalau dari King's Cross Station tu lebih kurang dua stops aje. And from there, you can easily get to the ground by just a few minutes walk following the clear signage. Kawasan pun besar and beautifully located behind residential area. Syok gila orang yang dok dekat stadium boleh jual air kacang soya cari duit poket lebih masa hari ada match. eh sukahati ja? :p



At Arsenal underground station. Hoi sepet gila mata sapa tu hahaha.


Siapa ni cuba teka hikhik. :p


Suka sangat billboard depa ni. Nampak ganas orang nak rempuh pun cuak.


Kedai cenderahati Arsenal. Amacam ada sama ka?
Boleh buat part time jadi patung cendana depan kedai jual pakaian beruniform pun jadik la. haha.



Stamford Bridge Stadium (Chelsea)

Haaa!! Ni stadium yang paling mencabar nak sampai. Sebenarnya tak susah sangat, tapi hari tu kitorang tersalah station, so hambik kau kena menapak merentasi kawasan perkuburan yang mak oii besar nak mampus. Seriously, padan la Chelsea terror, nak sampai stadium tu kena lalu kawasan tok nenek depa dulu. hahaha. :p Padahal kalau turun dekat station yang betol takde la jauh mana. Saja nak buat drama. T___T



Rupa memang hensem tapi style rambut memanjang takbleh blah. haha.
Sukahati kutuk orang macam dia tu segak sangat. :p


The blues. Berus gigi Chelsea pun ada orang beli oii.
Taksub gila depa semua ni.


Main entrance. Building lama rasanya ni. Kalau refurbish mesti lagi cun.


Stamford gate. Kecik je stadium ni compared to the other three.


Old Trafford Stadium (Manchester)

Stadium ni lebih kurang 20 minit dari city centre kalau naik tram. To be honest, kalau takmau serabut, tolong la jangan pegi masa ada match. Seriously no fun at all. Tengok game memang best, but in term of taking pictures, serabut kepala hotak. The best way is to go there twice. Sehari tour around the stadium, sehari lagi temgok match. Memang terbaik kalau camtu. haha! :p Eh takyah letak gambar la yang ni, you can refer here to read my review about watching live match at the Old Trafford okay.



So I guess that's all about my experience visiting all the four stadiums. Tamat sudah cerita pasal bola sepak, kalau ada masa I update pasal my conference presentation and sightseeing around Loughborough, Manchester, London, and Amsterdam. I will try to review one place at a time with tips and so on. So, kalau ada sesapa nak pi sana lepas ni boleh la dapat gambaran serba sikit. :)
