Favourite - went to the Emirates on Tuesday and it is an unbelievable stadium but in our Prem days I thought that Highbury was special, it had all those little touches that showed the history and even had Gunner motifs in the toilets.

Least favourite - Toss up between Twerton and the Abbey Stadium, the Manor wasn't too far off but when we got a result it was worth it.

Hmmm, tough one.

Fav is between Stanleys for, well, just being there ground, Villa Park from the big ones which seems to retain some old stylee charm, and Lftus Road which should be any medium or small clubs blueprint.
You're joking right? I like the closeness of it all and the design is good in a way. But any ground where you can't see the pitch properly from the upper tier is automatically poor. The goal is literally underneath you so you can't see a thing.

Difficult question, but...

I actually liked the Manor Ground - gave the whole derby a certain flavour that I felt was missing in our game at the Kassam.  However, my favourite was probably Griffin Park.  It just had a proper football ground feel to me.  Each to their own.  I do also agree that Villa Park is the best place I've been that does "big club" with a good nod to history.

Worst:  You cannot get worse than the Withdean, but as that's not actually a football ground, I will say the JJB (now DW).  No atmosphere.  No fans, when we went there.  It was like being in a library with no roof.  "Wigan away" is still a phrase I dread to hear.

For me, it's all about the atmosphere created, not nice stadia, or comfy seats.

In recent years I've enjoyed visiting Brentford, Orient, Colchester (Layer Rd), Aldershot, Hereford and Torquay. All grounds we took a fair few to, where we created a great atmosphere and had a good craic.

Stadium mk is fucking horrible, as is brighton's ground (Although I enjoyed it last season!)

Withdean is indeed my least favourite, not sure if we should count it as its there temporary home, it was either withdean or fucking preistfield.

Falmer is starting come together and is looking like its going to be a pretty impressive ground.

I love kenilworth road and griffin park, old school shitholes.

Favourite - Carrow Road (nice stadium, station/Morrisons just round the corner) or Griffin Park (atmosphere, standing, 4 corners challenge)

Worst - Withdean (shit view, bad experiences)

For games not involving Town, Schalkes ground is the best I've ever been to I think.

Agree with Fulham as favourite (before it was developed though)

Luton is the pits. As a town and a ground.

Loftus Road is my favourite...real old style ground and the area lends itself to a good atmosphere(abit like Fulham)
Also Carrow Road is quality.
Villa for me is probably the best of the prem....old ground but great atmosphere.
The grounds i dislike are Hereford and Gillingham...the latter being a real real shitpit.

Favourite - Craven Cottage for location/heritage. Although I also liked Accrington's ground a lot - a proper one that.

Least favourite - a toss up between the Withdean (not a football ground/stand miles away) and Swansea (soulless horrible concrete edifice).

Actually yeah, I will add Carrow Road as a favourite if I am allowed. Nice ground indeed.
