We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

It's going to be magnificent when it opens. The stadium is on the road to Heathrow from my parents' flat and near enough to see from the Brent Cross shopping center.
The Arch is enormous (apparently you can fit the London Eye under it) and though I haven't seen it lit up, I can just imagine how great it will look.
Two issues for me remain. First, the Towers should have been preserved and incorporated into the design. These are iconic things that are important and the decision to bulldoze them down was that of a non-footballing-penny-pinching Phillistine. A tragedy.
Second, the pitch. It was a massive carpet in the old days and the groundsmen could add to England's advantage by leaving the grass long to suit us. But with the high-walled design, I understand that their is a real scare that it will be prone to the grass-growing problems experienced at Old Trafford, Stadio Del Alpi, and the Amsterdam Arena. I hear that this may be a problem with the new Ashburton Grove Stadium too. I hope that they know how to avoid it.
