Favourite / Best Stadiums in the PL

Postby City64 » Fri Jun 17, 2022 10:48 am

Best Stadium in the PL for me is easily Spurs , it is incredible, pristine, has everything !
My favourite though is probably Fulham’s Craven Cottage, superb historical ground in a great part of London for the craic !
Worst …….. Anfield by a mile even over the swamp . An absolute shithole surrounded by a fucked up monstrosity of a scouse cultured crime ridden society.

I love Craven Cottage. Went there when they had the standing away end and caught the ball as a kid. Same match Morrison licked Collymore’s face :lol:

Wish Blackburn were in the Prem, that’s always a decent away day. Ground is terrible though.

Went to Wolves years ago and that wasn’t great.

I'm another Craven Cottage fan, and my other favourite back in the day was Charlton.

Yep craven cottage for me as well nice day out there. Boozer right outside station 3 bells? Looking forward to going back to the city ground decent allocation. Normally swerve anfield been there way too many times but will go this season just to wind the fuckers up. Special mention for the swamp as a local there is nothing better than drinking in spoons in eccles and everyone piling in the tram. Ground is falling apart around their ears but a great laugh ripping the piss out of them and then onto Lime afterwards

Away fans are in a really weird position at Wolves - bottom tier along the side of the pitch. I don't think I've ever been to another stadium with that setup. It's pretty much invariably a block to one side of the goals (majority) or in a corner (White Hart Lane, City Ground, among others).

I was at that Fulham game too, absolutely pissed down from what I remember, proper old school ground. I remember it being that cold we were wondering if dead frozen bodies were going to drop out of the sky from the heathrow flight path.

Just realised that since I stopped going to away games regularly in about 2010, there's actually not too many grounds left or at least grounds that havent been significantly upgraded. I always enjoyed Stamford Bridge

The new Spurs stadium is fantastic. Pity we can't score there and at least they're top at something.
The worst for me is Everton, restricted view all over the place.

Won a few a battles outside Elland road back in the day , got charged by a gang of fucking nut jobs once outnumbered 2-1 but the city crew done em ! Got bricked on another occasion they just randomly picked us off from an overhead road bridge . Utter hell hole that place back in the 80s .

Like
Arsenal
Southampton
(Not been to the new spurs)

Dislike
Merseyside
Swamp
Leeds

Weird
Leicester - easy to get to but the half time shenanigans of chucking £5 a pint beer everywhere is crazy. Happened the last 3 times I have been.

Brighton - ground is in the middle of nowhere. If there wasn't the train station next to the ground they would get 10k max per game. Also, because there is nothing around the area, they reopen the bars after the game in the home concourse and as an away fan you can just walk round the outside and into the home end and order a pint
