What is the best ground in the uk people have been too? mine is twickenham for facilities but for impressiveness it has to be old trafford

Old Trafford for me, although I've been in the unfinished Wembley. Don't suppose that counts...

old trafford before they filled the quadrants in..i'm not that keen on it now cos the quadrants don't look right,they hump up in the middle or atleast it looks like it does and spoils the lines of the stadium imo...

ye i can not believe they did not think about the corners before they built all the top tiers at different gradients. i quite enjoyed turf moor too, burnleys ground as it was so....basic the away stand is a shed and the seats are wooden. dont get that often!

The COMS for sexiness and OT for shear magnitude

Twickenham for me, great looking stadium and excellent facilities.

Lords, walking distance from central London, Edwardian architecture, Futuristic architecture, the centre of World Cricket.

I don't like cricket though.

The Oval was good. My favourate ground is Old Trafford Cricket ground just because it's a good place to relax (lots of space).

Re football grounds, I've been to Vale Park and Gresty Road and the Stadiums where Middlesborough and Crystal Palace play, I thought they were all OK. The best that I have been to though is Villa Park.

Millennium stadium with the roof shut :cheers:

Yep the millenuim stadium is a brilliant place to be at, i have had the pleasure of being there twice.

but if and when i go to Wembly i am confident i will have to change my favorite place

Wembley and Highbury.

Millenium stadium!!

How do you define "best"? The grounds I liked the most are probably in this order:

1. Twickenham
2. Trent Bridge
3. Wembley Stadium (as it was in 1992).
4. Millennium Stadium
5. Villa Park
6. City Ground, Nottingham
7. Headingley
8. Recreation Ground, Bath (as it was in 1991).
9. Twerton Park
10. Manor Ground

...although the order would probably be different if you'd asked me the same question yesterday.

The biggest and best I've been to is the Millenium Stadium. But I can't wait for Wembley and would love a trip to Old Trafford, emirates, COM etc.

West Ham's Boleyn Ground is good on three sides. I liked Millwall's New Den and Swansea's Liberty Stadium. Reading, Sheff Wed were good days out.

Worst - Brighton. As an away fan paying over £20 for a makeshift stand with no leg room or bum room and no cover is a joke. And they beat us at the Mill Stad...

Best Cricket - Oval
Tennis - Court one
Rugby - Rec and Mem

Re Stourbridgebaggie: we have wooden seats in some parts of the home stands at Bristol City - classy, not!

The old Cardiff Arm's Park was fantastic, if it counts. The best is probably Villa Park, with old trafford/emierites currently 3rd & 4th, I'd put fortress Twickenham 2nd, it is great from the inside (but a bit grey from the outside).

Anfield. The place oozes passion and identity.

Other than that the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. Hardly state of the art but a great basic design for a football/rugby stadium that builds and holds the atmosphere.

I didn't really like Old Trafford. I went on the tour and not to a match so maybe that is the reason. The only good thing was the front facade imo.

Millennium stadium is certainly the best I have been to, but it needs ceilings! Somebody build some ceilings for it! It looks a mess inside!

The Stadium of Light Sunderland

Best football grounds:
Villa Park
Goodison
Anfield
City Ground
The Den

Kassam Stadium anyone?

No?

O.k.

Probably Twickenham Stadium for me - I've been six times now, and never had a bad seat.

I know you're kidding, but the Kassam Stadium is a text book case in how not to develop a ground. Wrong part of town, miles from any decent pubs or public transport, missing a stand at one end. Feel a bit sorry for Oxford, because they had to move from the Manor Ground (which was long past it) and there are always going to be problems finding a site in a historic city like Oxford. But they really did pick the arse end of nowhere for the new ground.

Goodison Park.It feels unique with a striking main stand, a residental location and amazing sense of history. You really feel like you're attending a football match the way it was meant to be.

Craven Cottage. For the same reasons as Goodison. As a bonus, I think the Johnny Haynes stand looks glorious on TV with the Fulham Football Club Gable.

Furthermore, I really enjoyed the old Wembley. Everybody always tells me it was a shit hole, what a blessing it was demolished. Nevertheless, be it a football match or concert, I personally loved every minute of being there and it always felt special. I'm sad it's gone.

The higher up you go, the better the view. The bottom few rows of the bottom tier are a bit ropey.

I've been in every tier and every stand (but only in the modern incarnation of each). Next Saturday we're in the middle tier where the North and East meet.

The Stadium of Light Sunderland

This, its a quality stadium.

The Sports Direct Arena is definitely one of the best grounds I've visited!

Apparently it's referred to as the Ashley Sports Direct Arena, by Sunderland fans.

:)

In almost 100% order :-)

Old Trafford for the game against FC Copenhagen in 2006 or was it 07.

Impossible for me to pick one as I like so many different venues, for completely different reasons. In terms of sheer size and atmosphere then it has to be Twickenham and the Millennium Stadium. But, i'm quite nostalgic when it comes to sports grounds....I love Craven Cottage, and Lords for example.

Been to quite a few, Standouts were:

Nou Camp and (new) Wembley for pure scale and grandeur.
Old Trafford (not a Man Utd game!) and Elland Road (pre all seat) for atmosphere

But probably the most memorable as it combined both the above and its so steep was the Bernabeu

I'll only speak of those I personally know.

Lords by a distance. Fantastic mix of the past and the future in a lovely part of London.

Highbury before it went. Best soccer stadium in London at the time.

I've been in every tier and every stand (but only in the modern incarnation of each). Next Saturday we're in the middle tier where the North and East meet.

In March I'll be sitting in Category A seats, thanks to my prize-winning moustache. :bowtie:
