True, but I was only 5 when I went to Wembley so I can't really remember it that much :(.

Yeah, but we've played teams from a higher league each time we've been to Cardiff so it's been tough. Although we were cheated out of the Swansea game :@.

LOL :D. Did you think the Millennium Stadium was better with the roof closed or open? The atmosphere was definitely better with it closed. :)

Nice, same ive been to a few others like selhurst park, vicarage road, upton park and a couple more.Haha yeah same, like The Valley, Griffin Park, St. Marys but wouldn't put them under the category. Worst League grounds I've visited would have to be Kenilworth Road and Selhurst Park - absolute dumps, everything about them is ugly! From the stand...that isn't really a stand at Luton to the horrid wooden seats and cruddy view from the away stand at Selhurst...and that stand with the boxes - far from attractive.

Didn't get a chance to visit it under the twin towers so hope to visit the new Wembley in my lifetime!...if that's possible, MULTIPLEX :rolleyes:

Villa park seemed big to me.

Lol yeah have to admit our away facilities are a pants, but the view is ok.. i sit in the stand right next to the away stand and it looks fine to me. Btw if you didnt know im a Palace fan x]
By any chance did you see Palace v Qpr a few weeks back?

Barcelona was the biggest, 120,000 capacity with about 100,000 at the game I went to ;)

LOL :D. Yeah, if it ever gets finished :rolleyes:. From what I remember you were a long way from the pitch and it didn't help when i was like in a corner (even though it was an oval), so to speak. I suppose you see that on the TV as well.

Also, what you said about worst league grounds. Definitely either Barnet or brighton. The Withdean isn't even a football stadium, just a sports complex :rolleyes:. Added with every football fan's worst nightmare, an athletics track around the pitch. :@

12-01-2007, 10:58 PM
Lol, yeah Underhill is a dump. So is Accrington Stanleys ground, and to make it worse it lashed down for the whole night :rolleyes: Chesterfields is just as bad too, the 'seats' in the main stand were wooden benches.

Also been to St James' Park aswell if you could call that a 'biggie'?

Grainger@CUFC
12-01-2007, 11:00 PM
Yeah, does the Reebok Stadium count as well :rolleyes:.

Aye thats a great stadium, even when they were in the league it was probably one of the best. Just a shame its only 3 sided though..

By any chance did you see Palace v Qpr a few weeks back?Yeah, I was at both games! First one was a cracker...let's not talk about the 2nd one, eh? :P Where I live, I'm SURROUNDED by Palace fans, it's horrible. Wherever you look, a sea of blue and red...from Palace shirts and scarves to windows plastered in Palace stickers; it felt so great to get one over your lot - bragging rights were a treat! Shame about the 3-0 reverse at Selhurst though! Didn't hear the last of it at school! :$

And yeah, Underhill and the Withdean are horrible too with the latter even more so. It's a flipping athletics stadium. The sooner Brighton are playing in their new ground, the better.

Leeds united football ground seemed huge when I first walked in there.

Then I went to Nou Camp (Barcelona stadium) and that was massive, we took a tour of it, and stood at the highest point, that was unreal.

Didn't like the fact that you sat with the opposing fans in Barcelona though..

And St. James Is Around 42,000 Maybe More *Goes Off To Check NUFC.Co.Uk*I'm assuming your a Saints fan, the striker in goal was none other than our very own Dexter Blackstock - notched 6 goals for us this season :] But he didn't concede the only goal of the game so you can't use him as a scapegoat! I remember watching that match on TV last season :p Anyway, St. James is about 51,000, iirc.

It Is 52,387 Seats! So £30 x 52,387...

30 x 50,000 = 150,000
30 x 2,000 = 60,000
30 x 300 = 9,000
30 x 80 = 2,400
30 x 7 = 210

Stamford bridge, and Withdean stadium (small [brighton])

Brighton still don't have a proper stadium yet, Withdean is basically for like track and field sports.

England Vs Portugal World Cup At Gelsenkerien Arena there was about
60 000

Or Bristol Rovers Vs Derby at Pride Park Won 3-1 there Were 7500 Gasheads with about 20 000 Derby Fans

Police Escort of 7500 Fans to the Train station after the game thats a hell of alot of Police also when we arrived we coudlnt go within 2 miles of the stadium police just circles off about 8 pubs and everything had to stay within that area until 1 hour before kick off :P
