No particular criteria - just your personal favourite.

Is it something old? (Selhurst)
Or something new? (Ethiad)
Something borrowed? (The London Stadium)
Or something blue? (The Amex, obvs)

Personally, I've always like St James Park, for it's city centre location, great sense of football tradition - plus Newcastle is just a great place for an adventure.

Naturally, a poll is to follow; but stick with me whilst I type in all 20 options...

Apart from our ground obviously it has to be Villa Park. Stunning architecture and history, atmosphere and view inside the ground.

There’ll be a collective NSC love-in for Craven Cottage. Famous wins eg the Dunk game, help the fond memories.

Ignoring cramped seating and sardine can concourses, I like Anfield especially since the redevelopment, also the city centre stadia of SJP and Molyneux.

Selhurst is a rusting cesspit of a ground, capped by the cringy and tiny exec boxes end.

Voted Amex, but out of those I've been to, Spuds' new ground is beautiful

There's nowhere I'd rather be in football ground terms than the Amex. Craven Cottage is indeed my favourite away day. though a weekender in Manchester with the boys when we're away at OT is great too. Last time we met Cristiano Ronaldo's translator from when he first joined United. The translator was a City fan

Got to be Spurs ground for me, obviously Amex a very close second.

Sorry but love Newcastle the place but the ground no.

There's a lot of grounds that due to the history are regarded by the media as great stadiums but these people have never sat in the normal seats, too often these are cramped and poor view.

Leeds, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Everton (really poor), Newcastle, Palace, West Ham all have poor facilities.

Etihad is the best.

Sorry for being grumpy actually didn't think I have been for the last 10 days or so,

Go and collect some firewood, Pilters. You’ll be a new man!

(100% agree with you on Everton though. Shocking.)

Depends what we are discussing. Best ground WHL, best day out Newcastle with honorable mention to Fulham.

Having a teams call today has cheered me up. Three hours of talking to people about beer, nice little question and answer session, imparting all my knowledge done me the world of good.

Nothing like mashing the malt, fuggles hops and fermentation and drink

It’s just a shame Aston Villa play there.

That’s my kind of ground, and yes it’s severely lacking in facilities compared to a modern football stadium. But so what?

Set in the middle of a residential area, loads of alternative places to eat and drink away from the ground. I actually go to watch a game of football, I couldn’t give a stuff for the quality of the food and drink served at a football ground, it’s not why I go to a game.

Obviously I’m a dying breed, even my bloody eldest, can’t go 90 minutes without stuffing his face with crap food.

The Cottage and Bramall Lane.

Unlikely we'll have both next season.

It was awful the season we got promoted - very dodgy toilets and no alcohol thought Selhust was better maybe it was due to the atmosphere that particular game.

Villa Park, Bramall Lane, Craven Cottage.

All traditional grounds with a great atmosphere.
