Arsenal - Despite getting stuffed every time I go there, but it's a nice stadium: close to the pitch, and home fans
Bolton - Reebok is nice, although it is a distance from Bolton town centre (for drinks etc). Looks good lit up at night, if that counts for owt
Southampton - Dell is simply the worst ground ever to stage a football match...ever! It's full of freaks (home bits in case you wondered), archaic facilities (using 'facilities' in the loosest sense of the word). Dangerous seating / stands. Ludicrously small allocation. Always get beat there. I f**kin' cannot stand the place.
Newcastle - lush
Chelsea - last went mid-way in their redevelopment. The Bates Motel complex is daft and looks unused. Nice pitch. Crap seating. Always nice to have home fans within gobbing distance above you. Twats.
Spurs - another dump. Few facilities, miserable local pubs, full of part-time cockneys.
Fulham - my neighbour's two sons are FFC fans. I think the terracing bit will be there next season. Will find out more, including no-go / do-go areas.
Charlton - no real objections; standard 1st Div quality place. All the locals catch the train going away from London, curiously enough.
West Ham - odd looking place, good atmosphere.

TOP Newcastle - alright we're biased ut the new bit is impressive if only for the fact it's more ambitious than any other. Unfortunatley, as i overheard some Spurz fans say, "it'll look bliddy brilliant when it's finnished" 2.Arsenal - Old stadium but i like it for some reason 3.Manure - impressive but somhow looks like a big version of other grounds. 4.Bolton - Not just an identikit new Stadium. 5.Derby - good to watch football there and that's the point. 6.Sunderland - OK they copied most of it of us. 7.Middlesborough - Alright really 8.Aston Villa - rubbish views at the away end 9.Everton - Old ground, hashed together 10.Liverpool - Below Everton purely because Liverpool fans actually think it's good. 11.Leeds - Nice main stand 12.Spurs - Always looks like it's in the middle of regeneration but has been the same for the last 4 years. 13.Chelsea - Not been recently, used to be shite 14.Blackburn - Looks the same as every other ground. 15.West Ham - like going back in time. 16.Ipswich - Nice little ground 17.Leicester - Away side, good allocation, terrible apart from that. 18.Charlton - Valley has been redeveloped 19.Fulham - never been 20 Southampton - he Dell was errr compact

Come on lads,admit it. Lots of surveys and guide books give the best stadium as ours ie ssol(sos).Dont make the mistake of knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing.Your ground may look impressive but would/do you sit in the top? Your corporate facilities are magnificant but does that affect many of you on here?

Kev, are you really the same Kev who'd come on here with the we're the best you're the worst argument?

I thought I was fair, our ground is great in that it's ambitious & the like not seen elsewhere in the prem, howevever, it should never have been built. Yours is basically our Gallowgate end spread around the whole ground. Good atmosphere, however, you'll find the same design at SJP, Eland road & Old Trafford - in a way it's like the Leitch designs of the 30's which were seen from Ibrox down to Fratton park
