[Football] Premier League Stadiums ranked

[Simster]

Some Aussie has ranked them here:

My thoughts: he's not that far off. Anfield should be lower, Old Trafford should be much lower, Molineaux and the City Ground should be higher, and nobody likes the London stadium but it still feels harsh to rank it bottom of any league that includes Dean Court.

I've seen that video, one of the better rankings I thought and I too agreed with most of it

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I probably won’t watch that, we’re all different. Being one of those that still prefers The Goldstone to The Amex my favourite stand in The Prem is the Arfur Waite

Quite like stuff like this as everyone has an opinion on what constitutes a good stadium.

For what’s it worth, having visited all of them I’d go

1. Spurs
2. Villa
3. Forest
4. Newcastle
5. Brighton
6. Liverpool
7. Arsenal
8. Man United
9. Fulham
10. Wolves
11. Leeds
12. Everton
13. Man City
14. Chelsea
15. Palace
16. Brentford
17. Soton
18. Leicester
19. West Ham
20. Bournemouth

 

[B-right-on]

Watched the first 50 seconds and gave up. Annoying dialogue, trying to be funny but coming over like an @rse.

From what I heard, he's not even been to any of them so it's all based on second and third hand information.

Gary Neville really slags off the state of Old Trafford saying it's in terrible condition. Must be bad for a die hard Manc to say that.

 

[Weststander]

Anfield will be transformed next August with a 16,000 ‘away end’, just a 1,000 short of Spuds Kop.

Last night:


Newcastle unfortunately will always looks lop-sided due to the small Leazes stand.

Smellhurst and Goodison are rusting tips, with shite sight-lines at the latter but soon to be bulldozed.

The unwritten rule the Glaziers have with the fans is:-

You let us milk every last penny out of this stadium.
And we won't screw you over on price.


So cheap tickets, cheap season tickets, cheap beer and food.

But every single inch covered in tightly packed seating.
Antiquated changing room and press facilities.

According to an article from the Manchester Evening News earlier this year, the last major work at Old Trafford was 2006.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Old Trafford is abysmal in this day and age. Only thing going for it is capacity.

I'm not in the least bit surprised.

All the current pontificating and finger pointing currently surrounding Manchester Utd can be summed up in one word:-

Shortermism

Or two words.

Short termism.

Or one hyphenated word:-

Short-termism.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Fairly sure that at the start of the PL era, Cantona et al, Old Truffle was a 40k seated capacity. They’ve since practically doubled it by sellotaping on bits and bobs. Might have been better to have razed it and started again.

 

[nwgull]

I think Old Trafford is one of the best of the old stadiums. Seats are a bit tight compared to new grounds, but the fans are close to the pitch, sight lines are excellent and concourse facilities are ok.

Blimey they can’t stop tampering with that end. Sat in when 1 tier. Sat in upper tier when became 2. Now going to be a third! Guess have to go again. Sake, just get the planning permission right first time Liverpool!!

 

[Mackenzie]

Liverpool was like watching football through a letter box. Awful.

Not sure I agree on the last point - might be better in the home areas but the away end concourse is cramped and horrible.

Last I saw, they were working with the company who designed the Spurs stadium to look at redeveloping Old Trafford and further increasing the capacity to around 80k

It's a tip these days. All it is is a tourist attraction so they can get away with it. Horrible, cramped concourses, and the legroom in every seat is the worst in the PL (even worse than Selhurst, though I guess unlike our Glazier chums, you can at least see the whole pitch from every one).

I assume they'll get the Liverpool fans to literally raise the roof, given there are "no fans quite like these"ⓒ

How are those fans in the third tier going to see the game with a stand with a roof in front of them?

A discount for obstructed view should sort that.

 

[Eeyore]

I lost interest after he said Stamford Bridge was where the Vikings were defeated.

Wrong Stamford Bridge.
