I went to see Arsenal v Chelsea in the Community Shield yesturday at the magnificent Millennium Stadium here in Cardiff so I thought I'd share some of my pics with you....

How come nobody is sitting in the red seatS?


How many people does that place fit? it looks freaking huge.

Did you enjoy it D? Didn't really see it myself.

It's a 72,500 stadium with a retractable roof. Very nice.

As Bulldog said it seats 72,500 people, and I've been there a number of times when it's full and the place is rockin'. We also have a retractable roof so when it's raining we can shut it. There was only about 60,000 there yesterday since both teams travelled up from London so I guess not a lot of the fans wanted to travel up for what is just a friendly (exhibition) game. It'll be a different story next time I'm there.... It’ll be Wales v England, a sell out stadium, it'll be a cracking atmosphere, no doubt!

Yeah it was good, I didn't think I'd get the chance to see a big game like this for a while so I went along as a neutral (although in the Arsenal end) and enjoyed myself. Chelsea are gunna take some beating this year, they say they need Essien but I dont know if he'd get a game. It was funny they'd take Robben and Duff off and bring Cole and Wright Phillips on! Arsenal however need a central defender and a central midfileder badly.
