[Reecejackox]

Can be either ones you have been to or ones you just like the look off

I will go with
1 Wembley
2 University of Bolton Stadium(team I support)
3 Goodison Park

 

[1927]

Anyone who thinks Wembley is a great stadium has no right to be starting a thread on great stadia!

 

[Badgers]

this is favourite stadia not greatest stadia

but even on that criterion anyone putting wembley down as their favourite is revealing more than they might have intended.

 

[Pickman's model]

so, in no particular order, tolworth, barnet's hive and blundell park. oh, and highbury

 

[hash tag]

Highbury is housing

Highbury is housing

nothing gets past you. it is housing NOW but it was my favourite stadium when it was a stadium.

 

[hash tag]

Craven Cottage, for the listed cottage and being next to the river.
i think Blackburn may have been another for its great views over the Moors.

 

[chilango]

Estadio Olympico Universitario, Mexico City
Estadio Azteca, Mexico City
Estadio da Luz, Lisbon.

 

[hash tag]

Sunderland...great atmosphere, great fans, great memories (even though I rocked up at half time ).

 

[Proper Tidy]

Racecourse
Fratton Park
Bombonera (never been but looks fun)

Honourable mention for belenenses, watched training there, it's three sided with one end open so can see the sea. I remember another one in portugal when they had euros which was three sided with a cliff face in space which was tidy

That's Braga's stadium I think?

I always have a soft spot for the old Saltergate. Open terrace, no roof on the toilet, we lost 3-0, but I loved it.

Yeah I quite like Chesterfield's. I liked acrington's ground on the one and only time I went, proper old ground, standing (might have changed now) and what appeared to be domestic security lights instead of floodlights so couldn't see a thing as we got turned over 3-0

 

[BristolEcho]

Going to try and get to Brentford's this year before they leave.

Good call - I'd like to go there again - nice ground. Played there once in one of those close season corporate 5 a side things.

 

[mx wcfc]

Elm Park
Old Wembley - absolute dump but at least it had character.
ANO old ground, where you could stand

Here’s me and little ms mx on the pitch at Elm Park, which once held the record for the largest terraces in the country.

 

[1927]

For atmosphere: Ninian Park
View: Millenium Stadium
Engineering: Johan Cruyff Stadium

 

[BristolEcho]

I enjoyed my trips to Millennium Stadium much more than any trip to Wembley.

I didn't.

We lost to Walsall in a play off final. 6 hours to get home afterwards wasn't much fun either. At least when we lost at Wembley I was a 20 min bus ride away, and wrecked in the pub within an hour of the final whistle.

We lost both times at Wembley and once at the Millennium. We also won in Cardiff against Carlisle in the LDV. Both times too Cardiff were good days out though, beaming sun, over the bridge and a good day out with the Old Man.

Ashton Gate looks amazing now, but I much preferred the match experience before the upgrade. I stopped going before they started the work, but in the times I've been back since it just isn't the same.

Ah The Vetch. That was an absolute state, but an experience as a youngester. The old home park was pretty special too. Both of those games were absolutely awful draws. I don't think I other saw us win away.

 

[stavros]

I remember really liking St James Park (note the lack of apostrophe), cramped into the housing.

 

[The39thStep]

Craven Cottage
Highbury
The Old Den

London centric ?

The real issue is with the thread starter and motive.
