Best: Emirates/Wembley/Millennium. And Anfield, because it's Anfield. :smile:

Worst: Loftus Road. If you put the seats down to sit in them then you couldn't get your legs in. Got my money back from them.

Non-UK football grounds.

Best - Ali Sami Yen Stadium. What an atmosphere!
Worst - Tsirion Stadium. I don't like any football grounds with a running track but I seem to remember this one most.

Best: Wembley Stadium

Worst: As someone from Luton who see's it all the time, it's gotta be Kenilworth Road, it's absolutely dire.

Best - Old Trafford

Worst - White Hart lane. Absolute dump in keeping with the rest of Tottenham really.

Nou camp is a ****hole but not the worst due to the size and whatever.

Best - Wembley/Emerates
Worst - Upton Park. What the **** is with the away end, may as well be in a cave.

One 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.

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.

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.

Absolutely spot on, but then what else can you expect from TSR?

Well 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.

West Ham's atmosphere wasnt too bad, but they was 3-0 up... (Bad memories :frown:

)

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.
