goldenHuddlestone · 07-31-2007, 11:22 PM

gotta say i do like Emirates

Matt the Thrasher · 08-01-2007, 08:58 AM

Of grounds I've been to personally , I would say Old Trafford was the best in terms of facilities but by favourite away trip back in the day was always Goodison Park

The worst for me was The Dell , Southamptons old ground the facilities were terrible and the view from the away end was shocking , St Mary's is a big improvement.

toonmagic9 · 08-01-2007, 05:30 PM

the best ground i've been to is st james park closely followed by highbury, ht e worst would be a toss up between crewe and rotherham

goldenHuddlestone · 09-22-2007, 11:47 AM

Highbury? A good ground? Are you insane?

toonmagic9 · 09-22-2007, 05:55 PM

no i'm not having never gone to the lane i don't know what thats like, but have been to highbury, but i am going to retract that statement as i have been on a stadium tour of the nou camop and even though it was empty you could feel the atmosphere so tha is my second favourite after st james park

goldenHuddlestone · 09-22-2007, 07:18 PM

Highbury was one of thel least atmospheric stadiums Ive ever been in

toonmagic9 · 09-22-2007, 08:28 PM

didn't think it was to bad can't be worse than the city ground in notts have been there several times as the missus is a forest fan and that should be renamed the graveyard as it is quiet if you were outside you wouldn't know who was winning or even if there was a game on

robbie_lfc · 09-24-2007, 01:36 PM

uv got to say that anfield s the best ground to go to for the atmosphere side ov it... ull never get the atmosphere anywhere else

worst ground got to b upton park

goldenHuddlestone · 09-24-2007, 02:13 PM

Fratton has an unbelievablt atmospher as well thinking about it

tiswas · 09-25-2007, 10:38 AM

best / Newcastle for atmosphere but I don't agree with toonmagic about our place...but each to his own I suppose.

worse / Barnet , Halifax

toonmagic9 · 09-25-2007, 05:50 PM

what theres only a and b blocks and occassionly the trent end that make any noise, i shout louder than most forest fans and i don't really support them only follow them, for example watched them play rotherham realised that bristol rovers were losing and that fi forest ahd won they would have been second, told a few people around me and they couldn't care less, that doesn't happen anywhere else as far as i'm aware, the crowd can often make the difference between one point or three points, get behind them at everyhome game if you believe they can win that will transfer to the players and boost there confidence, you need to be the twelth man and all to often there not

tiswas · 09-27-2007, 03:47 AM

Since I've been working in Thailand for the last 6+ years you can imagine I don't get down too often

I remember better when we had the standing Trent End for a better atmosphere, for me the all seater stadiums have killed that part of the match 'experience'. I don't dispute the grounds have improved ten fold since the introduction of all seater stadiums & , like at our place, it's killed the traditional singing area.

toonmagic9 · 09-28-2007, 07:04 PM

true when i was younger used to go and watch shrewsbury town home and away the lower leagues stadiums have a great atmosphere, but then saying that having been to st james park and the atmosphere there was electric, it seems that some of the fallen giants are the ones that struggle with quiet terraces.

goldenHuddlestone · 09-28-2007, 10:11 PM

Its the success to corporate sponsorship equation. The more succesfull you are the more coporate tickets you give away the less passion evident in the ground

toonmagic9 · 09-29-2007, 07:33 PM

that seems to be true especillay with wembley as most of them don't seem to want to see the second half but quaff red wine and eat cheese, most of the top clubs have got it about right though

red5928 · 10-04-2007, 08:57 PM

i will agree with you toonmagic9 St James Park is breath taking and it does not mattter weather its a carling cup match or playing Man Utd we still get 55,000 in. another good ground is white hart lane but for standard of pitch anfield or the Emerates is outstanding ( Top Groundsman)

bournemouth10 · 10-05-2007, 05:05 PM

best man u/wembley
worst chetenham

toonmagic9 · 10-05-2007, 07:33 PM

good job for arsenal that they play on a bowling greem love to see them pass the ball on some of the league two pitches in january

tiswas · 10-06-2007, 02:20 AM

Just thought of another crappy ground from years ago...Halifax (The Shay). It was a right mess with a dirty old speedway track around the pitch.
