best ground in London

Of the club grounds in London, the nicest one to go to is The Valley.

 

Arsenals new home. Ashton Grove i think. The dog's mate. It pisses on wembley by a mile.

 

is that the one that's not built yet?

 

Yeah. Hotels and everything mate. The Dod's Bollox imo.

 

i think you missed the point.

 

Are you saying i am a Cockney mate. Cause if you are. Thats not funny. Ok sunshine.

 

Stamford bridge or White hart lane. That is until Ashburton grove is completed.

 

You know the score sunshine.

 

I nominate Crystal Palace.

Nothing quite like standing in a cowshed after spending eight hours getting there.

 

Actually, it's Twickenham. By a country mile.

 

I walked past "Emerits Stadium" a couple weeks ago... looks like it is coming along nicely. Can't wait to get there to see a match. New Wembley also looks quite nice.

Still, i think Charlton have the nicest completed non-rugby stadium in london.

 

It's not 'completed' though. They have planning permission to extend the ground and want a 40k capacity eventually. Fantastic what they 've achieved given the fact that 10 plus years ago the ground was essentially derilict.

 

Can someone tell me if there are any stadia near: 6 Bedford Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1? Thanks.

 

Whenever I go to WHL, I sit in area called the shelf, I think that's what my pal called it - there is a bloody great pillar between us and the pitch, but other than that it's a nice facility.

Chelsea Village has already got the hotel and penthouse apartments - very nice stadium!

Haven't been to Arsebury for a number of years - last time I went, you could still stand - saw them play Newcastle, Malcolm McDonald was playing!

Funny though, I always liked the old Wembley - I know it was a sh!thole, but it had so much atmosphere when it mattered!

I went to the Valley directly before and immediately after the rebuild - definitely the most-improved - although I spent a lot of time as a youngster at the Den and that was the pits

 

I just got back from London a couple of month's ago, and I got to tell you..... Stamford Bridge and Highbury were sweet. Both parks were top notch.

I went and saw the Chelsea/Spurs game back on Sept. 19. We also took a stadium tour of Highbury..... It was hard to compare them to each other as IMO there were to different types of stadiums. (one was open and one was closed) I think there we both stunning, (maybe for the fact that I was an American standing in the middle of soccer/football's most sacred city).


but outside of those two grounds.... I wouldn't be able to compare them fairly since I have never seen them in person.

 

..you went to Liverpool too? good one...

that's the city, not the club

 

good one scouse

 

I have to say the Lane although Stamford Bridge looks good now

 

So, for the ignorant Yanks here, what are the NAMES of the stadiums (stadia?) - I gather that "The Den" is Millwall's stadium - And is Wembley the home stadium of any team or just a big place for big games?

 

I'll save electrons by not ticking off all the names, because I gather you're looking for more information than that. Now that you have a list of the London clubs, you can poke around here for more info:

Really great site, has ticket info, pictures, the whole nine yards . . .

Oh, and old Wembley has been demolished, and New Wembley is currently under construction. No club owned it, but it was used for Cup Finals and the like. You can Google it if you want pictures of New Wembley or any of the history of the place.

 

Twickenham (England's rugby ground) is the best at moment.
Followed by White Heart Lane.

New Wembly should be class as well.
