IAmNick Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Also pretty confused by the King Power stadium making the list. I've only been once but from memory it was one of the dullest generic bowls going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And basically had free rein to site where they liked ! Edited April 18 by Markthehorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 I think you can’t beat Rotherham’s New York Stadium. It’s small so has a good atmosphere and shows what a small ish club can do if the money is spent wisely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 It definitely wouldn't be Loftus Road. I am really surprised that the SAG haven't reduced their capacity still further when you have such crippling restricted leg room, can't see the touchline in the upper tier, have seats behind pillars and a really narrow concourse. There are so many restrictions it would take an enormous effort just to get out in an emergency. A 5hit hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have some mates on the council to get it approved in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 (edited) The fave from the ones I have been to is Hillsborough but reading his story about it brings back some bitter memories. Edited April 18 by Baba Yaga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonboy Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 QPR ground. The worst I visited this season. For a traditional old ground with real atmosphere and history, it has to be Hillsborough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Lower tier at Loftus Road is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere was good even though we lost and I liked how close it felt to the pitch. Much better than the King Power Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland the other week is an impressive ground but you feel so divorced from the game up there in the clouds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno Gomes Posted April 19 Author Report Share Posted April 19 Sunderland, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday in this. We manage 6th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Why do they worry about atmos, surely it's about the best stadia , toilets sight lines legroom, food outlets etc. These two also slant things by how they got on in the games, very subjective !
