madras Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Likes, dislikes,faves, pics etc Personally i like the old fashioned style when even different parts of the ground seem to come from different eras and a squarish design to the ground as opposed to the modern rounded stadia. i loved the likes of gay meadow and the manor ground but looking at http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_menu/past_future/future_stadiums.shtml all the new stadia seem much of a muchness with only the sizes and the outer decor differentiate between them.

cp40 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My first visit to SJP, was the opening of the east stand. Had the roof at the old leazes end, the open gallowgate terrace, and the arch topped west stand. Love looking at pics of the ground when it was like that. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nufc.com/images/sjp70s-2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nufc.com/html/ground4.html&usg=__uI1LovoqqkQugoQlObodVn5bgtY=&h=478&w=678&sz=88&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=pFRlRL0oW6QmnM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=139&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnewcastle%2Bwest%2Bstand%26hl%3Den%26cr%3DcountryUK%257CcountryGB%26rlz%3D1T4GGLR_en__267__267%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My best stadium visited in terms of atmosphere. Stade Geoffroy Guichard, St-Etienne. http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/49/l_858f0cf7536273b70b91bf74375643a1.jpg http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/30/l_f81ab8444e708719e5a9182872c2b0c4.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 We need a "guess the ground" thread imo, where someone posts an obscure photo of a ground and people have to guess what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i have to say aswell that the loudest noise i've heard in a football stadium was in milan when inter equalised, not really covered in and about 58,000 in the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Always liked Sampdoria's ground. I think it's the way they built tower things in each corner. That one in Portugal with a quarry behind a goal looks nice too. Braga? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braga? aye its braga. i think the faroe isles national stadium has a similar thing going on. samp and genoa still share i think and the towers do look good. i remember the world cup there with people hanging out of them looked great. http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_pictures/europe/italy/liguria/genova_ferraris2.jpg thats the type of thing i'm getting at. they look good from the inside instead of the modern round bowl.

Some decent pubs around, lovely setting and old fashioned without being a dump. Ewood Park is a dive but had some great days out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TêteDeMaure Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 VELODROME. Unique much better than St Etienne and their loony boys. http://www.kooora.com/images/France/Teams/Marseille/velodrome_nuit.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Like: Goodison (although I'm not surprised if others think it's total shite) SJP Camp Nou (desperately want to visit there) Estadio de Luz (Benfica's? The one with the huge mountain thing on one side). San Siro And probably many others I can't remember at the moment. Tbh I'd love to go on a European tour and take in games from various stadiums. Dislike: Riverside 96.6 TFM George Reynolds Super Duper Bowl Anarchy Arena (bring football home! (well, to Feethams)). Fratton Park Ewood Park. And probably many others I can't remember at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Go to Craven Cottage if you get the chance. I'd recommend it to anyone, very different from what you might expect in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
