Npoess Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Any football stadium enthusiasts here on watmm? Post your favorite grounds in this thread. Blue Water Arena (Esbjerg FB) My "local/favorite" clubs home ground. I miss the old Esbjerg Idrætspark which the new stadium are built upon. It was a very old and outdated (almost only had standing room only) But It had so much charm it. The new stadium is amazing though, and worth it. Highbury (Arsenal fc) As a Arsenal fan I had to include Highbury. Don't know what i can say really.. It's was just a beautiful stadium Parken Stadium (FC Copenhagen & Danish National Team) Denmark's "Wembley". Not as impressive but, i love this stadium because of alle the good national-team/cup-final memories associated with it. Signal Iduna Park (Borussia Dortmund) Celtic Park (Celtic fc) Ibrox, Celtic Park and Hampden Park. All amazing stadiums, Glasgow have to be the city in the world, with the best football grounds.

dr lopez Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Estadio de Braga. Hands down. Its architect was Portuguese Eduardo Souto de Moura. The stadium is also known as A Pedreira (The Quarry), as it is carved into the face of the adjacent Monte Castro quarry. de Moura just won the Pritzker prize btw. Link to comment
Npoess Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah, a lot of those stadiums that were built for the European Championship 2004 in portugal, were very alternative looking and beautiful. Estadio de Braga has to take the for prize for the weirdest stadium in europe, but it looks good. Link to comment
Guest Alex C Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I think out of the 92 I've done about 20 or so. I miss Ninian Park at times, a shithole but a wonderful shithole. Favourite away ground is probably Hillsborough, great amount of character inside the place. Everywhere else I go is generally average. Shithole ground award goes to Selhurst Park, what a fucking dump. Link to comment
Npoess Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I've never visited Selhurst Park, but in the pictures i've seen of it... It looks really ugly indeed. Link to comment
Guest Alex C Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I thought my day was going to be saved when I saw they had a Wimpy inside but then it was like £8 for food, LOL. Norwich is alright with Delias special pies, but at £33 they could already fuck off. Their fans are rather splendid as well, I don't think there could be a more upper class football club out there. Snobby cunts. Just looking now, I've done Reading/Doncaster/Scunthorpe/Sheffield U/Sheffield W/Hull/Watford/Palace/Fulham/Arsenal/Leicester/QPR/Norwich/Peterborough/Wembley/ Thought id done a few more but whatever Link to comment
Guest Dirty Protest Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The Sheffield clubs, Old Trafford, Ninian Park, Shelhurst Park, Loftus Road. Any club that feels like I may get killed on the way to the station is my favourite, theres never any real trouble, but the threats a rush. The joys of being a Leeds supporter =) The nicest is the Cottage. Link to comment
Guest Gary C Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Oh yeah, and the Emirates. It's brilliantly designed, but just as sterile as everyone says. Highbury on the other hand was amazing, perfect. Oh yeah, and Watford. I've been maybe 3 times spread over 7 years and I'd never seen them get anywhere close to finishing that main stand, lol. Oh yeah, and White Hart Lane, but whatever. Took a tour of the Nou Camp. Link to comment
Chris Moss Acid Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Best - the old dean court, old wembly the worst - Underhill (barnet) most impressive ive seen - PSV, Emerites looking forward to - brightons new stadium. Link to comment
jhonny Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Best - Roots Hall, Nou Camp, Hillsborough Worst - Layer Road, Selhurst Park, Kenilworth Road Link to comment
Npoess Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Lots of Hillsborough love. Haven't been fortunate to see it myself.. I would love to some day. I've always had a secret admiration/love for Sheffield Wednesday. In my mind they belong in the Premier League, not fucking League One. Link to comment

The ground is just a properly traditional ground, views of the hills in the background and a decent kop end. marvelous! Link to comment
Npoess Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 As much as I hate Chelsea. I have to admit these cancelled plans of turning the Battersea station into a stadium looked pretty cool. Link to comment
Guest Gary C Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, looked great. Could have been amazing, but alas. They'll just have to be another Emirates-like... like Tottenham have. Link to comment
jhonny Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm really hoping Southend's new ground (Sperm) gets built Link to comment
Guest Gary C Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 lol, looks more like a fancy dog-track. I kind of like it though, the big thoroughfare could be used to house shops, statues and memorabilia. Southend have none of those things though, and a big (city-based) club would rather use all that space for something a bit classier. Link to comment

Will be good for the continued re-development of the town though. Link to comment
Guest drukqs11 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Estadio de Braga. Hands down. I am glad a stadium from my small hometown is recognised in the other side of the Atlantic. Personally i don't like the stadium that much, i prefer stands all around. My vote has to go to Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. Besides it has the highest average attendance in all Europe. Also a shout for Estadio do Dragão from the team i support: FC Porto :) Link to comment
Ifeelspace Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Dell... but only because I have some very fond memories of watching Matt Le Tissier in his prime there. Nowadays I'm more a fan of the Saint Mary's Stadium. COYR! Link to comment
Guest Ron Manager Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 My local side is East Fife FC, who play in the division above Rangers at Bayview Stadium in Methil: Although sadly, to my eternal regret, the power station has actually been demolished in the last year. Link to comment
Caretstik Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I had the misfortune of visiting Bolton's old ground years ago, Burnden Park. There was a Normid supermarket that literally took up about a quarter of the away end. You were fucked if anything was happening anywhere near the right hand corner flag. Link to comment
