Juventus Reveal New Stadium Plans

Juventus will unveil the plans for their new stadium this evening in Turin, and it promises to be a special occasion...

The Bianconeri will invest around €100 million in order to have a stadium which will compete with the best around Europe.

The facility will be ultra-modern, secure and open seven days a week with a state of the art shopping complex; the new venue will be built on the site where the old Stadio Delle Alpi is still standing.

Delle Alpi, which was built for the 1990 World Cup, will be demolished and Juve's new arena will be built. Work will begin in spring 2009 and everything will be ready two years later for the beginning of the 2011/12 season.

Plans will be presented at 1800CET at the Gianni Agnelli Auditorium in Turin and the pitch will be just 8.5 metres away from the stands, which is a far cry from their old venue.

Delle Alpi became infamous for its poor views of the action as the stands and pitch were seperated by a useless running track. 500 guests have been invited to the event and Italian FA chief Giancarlo Abete will be present as will Lega Calcio president Antonio Matarrese.

Juve's squad will also attend to enjoy an exclusive preview of their new home. The stadium will hold 40,700 fans and there will be 120 executive boxes. A shopping area as well as parking for 5,300 vehicles.

A Juventus museum is also planned like the one Real Madrid have at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Naming rights have been snapped up by sports marketing company Sportfive and they will be responsible for coming up with a title.

Juve will continue to play at the Olimpico grande while construction work takes place.

That's a new one. The San Siro is usually compared to a cathedral or an opera house. Especially because it's view for spectators is really amazing (R7 gives me proof of this).

But I agree it needs, heavy restructuring. Problem is, it's not the property of the clubs. It belongs to the Municipality and that can be sticky.

I like southern Italy people. they're so Latin!

They're so Sicilian too. And mafiaso, while we're at it. The most I'd go down is to Rome.

Latin? What do you mean by that?

C'mmon, don't let us sink into those stereotypic projections...

Being a Sicilian is, in fact, very good in my eyes. Mafiaso isn't that bad either, unless you're a real evil guy. In fact, I like Italian people in general - Northern or Southern. I'm not into this 'Location thingy' anyway, as long as you're one nation. And trust me when I say this, I know.

We have four distinct provinces here in Pakistan and sometimes it gets pretty touchy.

There is Racism here too! I mean, almost all of our jokes starts with something like 'one day a Turk...'

Reports: Aquilani demands fourth

Thursday 20 November, 2008

Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani will only commit his future to the club if they secure Champions League qualification, according to the latest reports.

The Azzurri ace has been widely linked with a transfer to Juventus, who reportedly saw a big-money approach rebuffed last summer.

Homegrown talent Aquilani has always stressed his commitment to the Giallorossi cause, but has refused to sign a contract extension in recent months.

The 24-year-old has just recovered fitness after a month on the sidelines and seems to have become frustrated in the Eternal City after watching his teammates struggle in Serie A.

According to Il Romanista, Aquilani is only happy to stay with the capital club if they manage to book a place in next season's Champions League.

Despite last weekend's victory over city rivals Lazio, Roma are still 12 points behind fourth-placed Napoli and will need to dig deep if they are to meet Aquilani's demands.

It's everywhere. Everywhere. Blacks, Chinese, Indians, Russians, Arabs, everyone and their mom. Of course, some people don't believe a thing in it, like me. And maybe there will come a day when all others do to. Thinking one race as superiors or inferior is such a disturbing thought.

And you fail to mention whites, *******.

Wow that's impressive. Real stylish engineering

I've seen better. Looks more like a 100-gram can of tuna fish or sardines, in my opinion.

of course u have Ghdafi stadium

Will Ranieri and Mourinho shake hands?

Question - who's the architect? For those who're interested Herzog & de Meuron worked as architects for the Allianz Arena..

Hernando Suarez (Studio Shesa) and Gino Zavanella (Studio Gau).

Of course Allianz Arena is better thing is, Juve don't have many fans in Turin. a bigger/costlier stadium wouldn't have been worth it. although once ready, it will be Serie A's most modern stadium...

PS: Allianz Arena will be a ***** compared to Valencia's Nou Mestalla.

To be honest it's been inter all the way in the first half. Juve has one chance at most. It's their keeper that's saving them, Caesar hasn't even had to touch the ball. Ibra missed a very positive chance, otherwise they'd have been at the lead.

Inter? Who scored?

so now inter are showing that why they are so fav for wining the serie A....... we can miss any chances but sadly i am we will drop points agianst the tough opposition whihc we have to face later on

They have Napoli next weekend, and it is only 30% of the Serie A season .. There is still 70% to go .. And the deciding factor is when the merda will have to play the latter stages of the CL .. Now its too early to judge, if Milan win tomorrow, it wont really make as much a difference, since Milan are within 5 points of the top spot, and considering how much of the season is left, its too early to conclude anything .. As Juventus are still capable of mounting for a challenge too.

If we keep going on the UEFA Cup, both clubs will have the same amount of matches by the end of the season. And there are some good teams in the UEFA Cup. Some are better than ones in the CL.

I must admit, I like that Materazzi's not so macho that he's not afraid to have a big flower tattoo (in color, no less) tatted on his arm.
