Mil Stad

Not technically on topic, but the old Hampden Park, and watching England beat Scotland.

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Millennium Stadium. But I also quite like Nene Park ...

Does Roots Hall count for us exiles?

You ARE joking, of course! Wembley may have had some sort of magical legend about it but the reality was that the stadium was a sh!te-hole that was in dire need of demolition long before it actually was. The toilets were a health-hazard, the food and drink was over-priced and poor quality, and the view from the seats was crap ...

Millennium Stadium, plus I was a big fan of Craven Cottage before redevelopment.

Plus, if this is a poll on away grounds that Southend have played at (it may not be), you can't have Wembley unless you're at least 85 years old!

Mill Stad. Have to say that there are a lot of impressive stadia in London - the Boleyn, Highbury, WHL, Loftus Rd, the Cottage and the Bridge are all great grounds very near public transport. What's not to like?

Random lower league ground I like is Gigg Lane - great atmosphere in the away end, and genuinely a decent looking stadium.

The millennium stadium.

How about lets not include the Mill Stad. Just normal away ground for th atmosphere, food, views, etc!

 

[SUFCFARAWAY]

Rushden - but thats jus for the food!

The City Ground is def one of the better league grounds.

 

[ldnfatso]

my favourite has to be cambridge.

Food - Aggborough (great soup) or The Memorial Ground (lovely pasties)

Atmosphere depends so much on the crowd and how the game is going. For example, Moss Rose last season was buzzing, but I doubt it'd normally be as good as that.

As for good views, this of course depends where you're sitting, but Meadow Lane, Nene Park and Home Park are all cracking.

MtS mentioned Loftus Road, but I don't much like the away end there. If you are in the top tier, it's really difficult to see what's going on at the near touchline. Last time I saw us play there we got thrashed 4-0 though, so maybe that was a good thing!

I quite liked Nottm For's City Ground, but the atmosphere was as flat as a pancake.
One of the best atmosphere's I've heard in a ground was at Swindon this year. The noise was deafening, despite there being only 550 of us.

That might be because I sat in the home stand to watch a spot of egg-chasing...

Agree with that - great pies i remember.
Layer Road, reminding us that Roots Hall isn't that bad after all.
