When stadiums were first developed, their main focus was to provide enclosure for athletes' play and little attention was given to spectators. Most Greek and Roman athletic facilities are guilty of this. While the general geometry of stadiums remains the same today, the structure itself has changed tremendously. As this thesis will point out, there is a multitude of structural systems that have been employed in the design of stadiums.

  • Charlton Athletic: a Valley of Stress
    1 State of Play: GOTP 10-year review Charlton Athletic: A valley of stress NO LONDON football club has lost as much support as Charlton Athletic over the past decade. Discontent fans and decline on the field of play have been accompanied by a 52% drop in match attendances at The Valley. Not even a progressive approach to ticketing has been able to prevent crowds falling to their lowest level since 1997. And the stress shows little sign of easing-up on the people who follow a club that has been part of the London football scene since 1905. Ownership issues Charlton Athletic is owned by Staprix NV, which is 95%-owned by Belgian businessman Roland Duchâtelet. He bought the club from joint-owners Tony Jimenez and Michael Slater, who had paid a “nominal” £ 1 for Charlton in 2011. But much of the angst around Charlton Athletic concerns Duchâtelet. He is the main shareholder in five football clubs: Charlton, Carl Zeiss Jena (Germany), Sint- Truidense V.V (Belgium), Ujpest (Hungary) and AD Alcorcón (Spain). Before Duchâtelet’s arrival, Charlton were on the brink of administration, struggling to pay wages and produce a playable pitch. Since 2014, the club has been relegated and has lacked continuity. From Duchâtelet’s perspective, he is trying to make Charlton more financially secure, but the concept of multi-club ownership is controversial and the club’s fans have been unhappy at the way it is being managed. There have been protests, including a visit to Belgium and Duchâtelet’s home town. This is not the first time that the Belgian has experienced the anger of supporters – similar events happened at Standard Liege and resulted in Duchâtelet leaving the club.
