Re: Best and Worst Football Grounds you have been toOne of the all time classic stadiums, but then it's understandable you dislike it if you're into the happy clappy sparkling ****holes that are Wembley and Emirates.(Original post by Ollie901)
Best - Wembley/Emerates
Worst - Upton Park. What the **** is with the away end, may as well be in a cave.
Best - Really enjoyed Craven Cottage, nice little ground and pubs around were quality.
Worst - ****e Hart Lane, metal poles still sticking out inside the away end. Stoke away was equally awful, just put in the middle of nowhere. -
Re: Best and Worst Football Grounds you have been toAbsolutely spot on, but then what else can you expect from TSR?(Original post by James1977)
Love - Either Selhurst Park or Ninian Park.
Worst - Pick a cookie cutter new stadium, any of them. They are all grey, soulless, concrete holes that in years to come will just be grey, soulless, concrete holes.
Football fans traditionally form quite strong attachments to their home grounds and travelling fans develop strong memories from away games as a result of the stadium the visit. In years to come, when those grounds that had certain quirks and vices have gone, travelling fans will just be travelling from concrete bowl to concrete bowl with identikit seats, food and drink stands etc, with bovril and pie sold by the same retail chain as deals with half the league rather than local stuff, sold by die-hard fans from portacabins or snack counters under the stand.
Rejoicing over the coming of cut and paste football grounds is support for selling out to corporate ground sponsors and more space for exec boxes and less space for fans. -

Re: Best and Worst Football Grounds you have been toWell the happy clappy sparkling ****holes are the most impressive structually, which is what I based it on. The emirates had by far the ****test atmosphere I've ever witnessed.(Original post by Marshyy)

It's terrible going there sometimes, this is one of the lowest points for Arsenal fans in modern history so I can understand the lack of atmosphere in the stands, that's also why I don't really bother going any more. 4-5 Years ago it was a completely different place.
