Your Favourite Football Ground?

[Mr Wooly]

Nou Camp - The sheer size of the place is mind-boggling. Plus its location (on the med; mountains in the distance) can't be beaten. Amazing.

White Hart Lane - Oozes character, and the times I've been there's always been a great atmosphere. Cracking stadium.

Mill Stad. - For the obvious reasons previously highlighted.

City Ground - For those who havn't been, you'll be in for a treat when we play Forest. One of the stands even backs onto the Trent. Great location, and another stadium with plenty of character.

So far it has to be the Mestalla in Valencia. Been to see a couple of games including the 1-1 draw against Real Madrid last March.

Gotta be the Millenium Stadium. Gotta say though that Twickenham would be an excellent football stadium, if only it wasn&#39;t exclusively for rugby.

Haven&#39;t been to many foreign stadia, although I liked the Riazor (Deportivo La Coruna&#39;s ground) when I went to visit some friends there last year.

Good atmosphere and a stadium that&#39;s right on the beachfront&#33;

 

[Ron Manager]

Roker Park....it was a proper old football ground with a real atmosphere and some great memories....anyone else there for all &#39;4 years in a row&#39;?

 

[BlueJ]

Even though it might not be a magnificent ground, I like Wakeirngs stadium at Borroughs park because of the way it was built - hand made by the local community, and all the componets (stands, floodlights etc.) were donated by local compaines

MilStad for me. From the lower tier, it looked even more massive than you would see from middle tiers.

Another one I liked was Pride Park. Be it passionate fans or good design, there was a really good atmosphere there for a nothing game.

 

[BlueJ]

I must admit I quite like Pride Park, although when I went there unfortunately it wasn&#39;t to watch Southend play.

As a life long Liverpool fan aswell as a devote Shrimper I would have to say Anfield, i&#39;ve been there twice and hearing the Kop sing &quot;You&#39;ll never Walk Alone&quot; before the kick-off made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck&#33;

Agreed, especially when you are watching England turning Germany over 1-5 in their own backyard.

I&#39;m a massive fan of older grounds such as Shrewsbury which has a great atmopshere and in a wicked location. None of this out of town malarky&#33; Plus shrewsbury wasnt too bad either&#33;&#33;

Like Roots Hall then but on a smaller scale.

 

[Scamps]

Has to be Wembley, to go to a ground where England have lifted the world cup was Excellent, along with the atmosphere and we beat Poland 3-0.

millienium stadium when it was full watching liverpool beat man utd 2-1

 

[nnatt76]

Just got back from Brazil and watched a couple of games at Vasgo de Gama&#39;s ground apologies but cant remember the name.

They are about mid table in the top flight but due to the fact that Brazils bigger than europe apart from local derby&#39;s very few fans travel away, Was only 7.000 fans in all and apart from the Fireworks before kickoff was a pants atmoshpere...However they do like to fight each other...Also did day trip at Maracana stadium which they tout as biggest in the world (or at least once) something like 180.000 in the 50&#39;s...It was a dump like something from early 70&#39;s

Ok what the most strange country you have watched a league game
