Britannia - Meh, typical new ground
Molineux - Cold, all right I suppose
Kenilworth Road - Didn't like it
Old Wembley - It's wembley!
Pride Park - Really like Pride Park tbh, always full which is nice
"Alexandra Stadium" - Was awesome when terraced, now it's a massive stand and 3 tiny things, no atmosphere anymore
Prenton Park - Well, it was tranmere, I didn't expect to like it, and I didn't
Think that's it tbf
You should of been there at the weekend.

Top five.
1) New Wembly. Loved it when I went (for a non-league friendly).
2) Stadium of Light. Really impressed with it but experience ruined by the weapons grade bell ends they have for coppers, stewards and nearest home supporters. Bunch of fucking wankers.
3) Hereford. Yep, Hereford. I love shit, old fashioned, un-modernised grounds (reminds me of my early football watching days) and Hereford's ground is just magic, plus I had a belting day there when Chester had won the Conference. I hope it never changes.
4) Shrewsbury's old ground. Comical name, Wurzel-esque supporters. Great location though and being the old style of ground (like Hereford) had a real atmosphere when you visited.
5) Huddersfield. Went there years back and was very impressed.
Bottom five:
1) Wr*xh*m: Easy to say because I hate the cunts with a passion but it's a weird arrangement of old/new, stinks of piss and the home supporter's sides are full of fucking plastic scouse tramps.
2) Chester. I'd love to say it's a great ground but it's a soul-less, plastic monstrosity. Considering our old ground (Sealand Road) was a cracking place, and I've fantastic memories of the place, it's a crying shame the new ground is what it is.
3) Preston. Really it's because of a hateful experience there many years back on a Boxing Day. Hateful ground full of hateful people including some vicious old bats who were spitting at us I kid you not.
4) Liverpool. Mostly for the deluded, worse set of supporters in the world.
5) Spurs. A bit like Preston really, full of wankers.
What I despise most is modern grounds for lower league clubs. All plastic, all seater and devoid of any atmosphere.

Top Five (In no order)
Peterbourgh - Still got a terrace so can stand and create a decent atmosphere.
Millwall - New ground but still intimidating. Has the feel of an old ground to it.
Fratton Park - Shit hole, but I liked it. Lots of characture and again a decent away end for atmosphere.
Old Trafford - Modern, but still on the original site where it has always been.
Everton - As above, but not as modern due to still having wooden seats in the away end. What i'd class as a "proper" football ground.
Bottom Five
New Wembley - Horrible place. Souless, corporate arena.
Darlington - About 100x too big for them. Feel sorry for them as they were shaffted big time and probably hate it as much as everyone else does.
Carlisle - Away part of the stand isn't even in line with the field FFS, you look straight and you over look the car park. Horrible place and we alway seem to lose.
Port Vale - Hated the place since we got relegated there. Loads of chavvy fans spoiling for a fight inside but as soon as they get outside shut up and run away.
Any "Identikit" Stadium - See Boro, Leicester, Coventry etc. Boring and shite.

Danny knows the score 
Cavmad - New wembley? Really? Possibly one of the worst football stadiums ive ever been to and ive been to Eastbourne.
Although I'll agree with you on Hereford, pretty bizarre ground, although they have now changed that weird away bit to seating i think. Wasn't open for us when we went, just had the corner of a side stand.

Yeah I liked Wembley Jonny, really impressed with it. It probably helped there was only a few thousand there (AFC Wimbledon Vs Corinthians I think) so we had a good spec.
Last time I went to Hereford was when Chester were promoted anyhow and it was the last away of the season. It was fucking crazy, I don't think I've ever been so pissed and the whole day was surreal. There were small rocks, stones, cans you name it flying over and a mate and I were were sort of in no mans land next to the home fans. I was (apparantly) shaking hands with one of them whilst my mate took umbrage at something the other lad's mate said and punched him through the fence. Another lad we know stopped over and got run out of town 
If we ever get back to the conference (it seems like the Premier League now  ) or higher I'd like to get to your gaff as I've never been.

Ahhh i just hated Wembley, wayyyy to corporate for my liking and you just cannot create an atmosphere there and ive been with 45,000 Luton fans and 15,000 City fans, the noise just goes nowhere. Impressive looking from the outside, get inside and its just another boring as fuck bowl stadium.
I love BC, its another old skool stadium thats falling down, quite literally, we have had to block most of the away stand now due to it sinking I still believe the away fans get the joy of pissing against a wall too, no fancy portaloos for you lot

1. reading new ground - was very impressed with everything, even all the roads around the ground closed for about 30 minutes to allow the fans to get out.
2.old wembley - who wouldnt put this that got the chance.
3.carlisle - the home fans made us very welcome and was allowed in all the pubs around the ground.
4.stoke - was a nice new ground, downside was its in middle of nowhere.
5.?
1. ipswich town- worst day of my life, drove 5 hours in the baking hot sun, stuck in a jam for about 2 hours, parked up at ground to get out of car to a full blown riot going off. total fucking scrubbers
2. port vale- shithole
3.scunny- shithole
4.chesterfield(old)- shithole
5.barnsley- away stand is unsafe, shakes like fuck with 6000 fans jumping up and down like idots

Its a shit hole in a shit area in Burslem; it really is the dregs of Stoke. My Mum was born just round the corner from there so I feel vindicated in calling it shit as well.
As for Britannia Stadium being in the middle of nowhere; it was for the first 5/6 years but there's a lot starting to be built on the site now since going up to the Premiership; the new bridge to access the eastbound A50 is brilliant ratehr than having to go down to the roundabout and back on yourself. There's a hotel and pub now; all the car dealerships are relocating there. Green's gym is a really nice set up. If they stay up for another couple of seasons I suspect there'll be more growth on the site.

i've visted most SPL away grounds apart from Inverness and St Johnstone's. English grounds i've managed are City of Manchester, Pride Park and Valley Parade
top
1. Ibrox - No stadium can match it Amazing
2. City of Manchester - great stadium breathtaking
3. Easter Road - great memories awesome & for the lolz
4. Pride park - great wee stadium - legendary
5. Valley parade - what a day didnt stop singing
worst
1. Tannadice - good memories, shite stadium plus dangerous
2. Hampden - terrible if you are anywhere behind the goals
3. Parkhead - ground actually shakes when you are doing the bouncy
4. Pittodrie - again dangerous plus full of sheep shaggers
5. Rugby park - crap stadium, good pies though
i wish i got to visit Hampden and Ibrox in the era of the massive crowds
the greatest football song ever
what a sight

I went to that. Most mental away support i've ever seen. Bradford was taken over for a day, place was crazy.
Valley Parade is a shite hole though.

Top 5
New Wembley
Old Trafford
St Mary's
Ewood Park - surprisingly good atmosphere, close proximity to chip shop.
Pride Park - nice stadium, good positioning of KFC.
Worst 4.
Not'tarf Krap.. I mean, Fratton Park. Need I say more.
StadiumMK - absolutely zero atmosphere, no surprise considering about 30 home fans attend a game.
Adams Park - generally small and rubbish, appalling pitch.
Kennilworth Road - Luton, next to Bury Park
