24/03/2012 Coventry City 2-0 Portsmouth: Pictures Of The Ricoh Arena

Here are some pictures I took at The Ricoh Arena for Pompey's crucial 'six pointer' against fellow relegation candidates Coventry City.

Welcome to the Ricoh Arena

A view of the stadium from car park C. As you can see the car park is separated from the stadium by a dual carriageway.

The footbridge from car park C to the stadium over the dual carriageway.

Home fans this way, away fans that way

There's some more information about Jimmy Hill on a nearby window display

Coventry Evening Telegraph Stand

Looking down the back of the Tesco Stand.

Bicycle racks. There were a number of these around the site, although I didn't see that many bicycles! In the distance you can just see the memorial garden, it's a nice quiet part of the site, there were a couple of people sitting in the sun enjoying a few special moments.

Looking back along the Tesco Stand. Note the different memorial walls along this stand, each one is named after a famous former Coventry City player.

Play Up Bricks I - I was reading the various bricks and came across this one which I liked!

Play Up Bricks II - and then I found some more!
