OPINION: ‘Daniel Levy is redefining the way fans watch football’


Next up it’s a legends game between the north Londoners and Inter. And here, talkSPORT.com looks at how some of football’s most famous stadiums have changed over the years.Old Trafford then25
Old Trafford then – Taken more than 100 years ago, this brilliant photo shows Man United's home as it was in 1913
Old Trafford today25
Old Trafford today – It has a capacity approaching 76,000, but back in 1913 it could theoretically hold 80,000, most of which would have been on standing terraces.
The old Wembley then25
The old Wembley then – The photo above was taken just before the old Wembley opened for business for the very first time.
Wembley nowGETTY25
Wembley now – Charlton take on Sunderland in the League One play-off final this weekend
Stamford Bridge then25
Stamford Bridge then – Three FA Cup finals were played at Stamford Bridge, including one in 1920, the year the photo above was taken.
Stamford Bridge now25
Stamford Bridge now – Once a giant bowl with vast terraces and a track separating the pitch from the fans, Stamford Bridge's official record attendance is 82,905, from Chelsea's meeting with Arsenal in 1935. That record is unlikely to ever be broken, as the ground – extensively redeveloped in the 1990s, when it lost the last remnants of the old track – has a current capacity of 41,837.
White Hart Lane then25
White Hart Lane then – This photo was taken in 1921 – a lucky year for Spurs, who will never call it by anything else
White Hart Lane now The redeveloped ground is finally open for business after months of delays. It has won rave reviews from all who attended the first test event, while its first official Premier League game is against Crystal Palace on 3 April. Paul Coyte, who is the stadium announcer, was there for the initial test event and told talkSPORT: [Mauricio Pochettino] absolutely loves the new ground. He is seriously excited he loves it! His face had a look of sheer pride, adding that chairman Daniel Levy is redifining the way you watch football.25

The Valley then25
The Valley then – This vast terrace held 30,000 standing and football crowds boomed after the end of the Second World War in 1945. This photo shows a packed terrace in 1950.
The Valley now25
The Valley now – Once the largest league ground in London, when it was capable of holding up to 75,000 fans – including 30,000 fans standing on the massive East Stand – the Valley eventually fell into disrepair after Charlton were forced to leave their home in 1985. The club returned to a remodelled Valley in 1992 and subsequently developed the ground further, leaving it with a current capacity of 27,111.
Carrow Road then25

The record crowd of 43,984 was set in 1963, with the current capacity being 27,220 (not including any guests staying at the hotel, now situated between the Barclay and the Jarrold Stands).
Villa Park then25
Villa Park then – It has hosted more FA Cup semi-finals than any other ground in the country. Look at that terrace!
Villa Park now25
Villa Park now – Built in 1897, Villa Park is one of the most historic and magnificent football grounds in English – if not world – football. Originally an oval shape, complete with cycling track, it was redeveloped to include the magnificent Trinity Road stand and huge Holte End terrace, which once held more than 20,000 fans. In the 1990s the old Holte End was replaced with a seated version, while the Trinity Road stand was redeveloped in 2001, leaving the current capacity at 42,788.
Hampden Park then25
Hampden Park then – A pair of binoculars wouldn't have gone amiss if you were stood at the back of the here, although you might not have been able to keep hold of them considering crowds of more than 130,000 would cram in to watch games. It was once the biggest ground in the world.
Hampden Park now25
Hampden Park now – Officially the third Hampden Park (or at least, third site) to host tenants Queens Park, this ground is famed as the home of Scottish football and for its incredible attendances in the 20th century. When Scotland met England in 1937, 149,415 people officially entered the ground, although estimates suggest another 20,000 got in without tickets. As late as 1970, 136,505 saw Celtic beat Leeds in the European Cup semi-final, but in 1999 the old stadium was replaced with a new 52,063 capacity ground.

St James' Park now25

Celtic Park now25
Celtic Park now – For 100 years, Celtic Park – or Parkhead, as it's commonly called – was an oval-shape with vast terracing, but in the 1990s it underwent extensive renovation to become a modern stadium with a capacity of 60,000, leaving its record attendance of 83,500 out of reach for now.
The Maracana then25
The Maracana then – With its huge standing areas, this football ground once had a capacity of 200,000. The old Maracana holds the attendance world record
The Maracana now25
The Maracana now – Opened in time for the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, Rio's Maracana overtook Hampden Park as the world's biggest football stadium. For the final match of the 1950 tournament, an incredible 199,854 fans packed on to the gigantic covered terraces of the Maracana, with most left disappointed when Brazil were upset by Uruguay. The old stadium was renovated to hold 78,838 for the 2014 World Cup.
This is Anfield then25
This is Anfield then – Taken at the start of the 20th century, this photo was snapped before the most famous part of Anfield had even been built. Its completely unrecognisable now.
