The new Liverool one is nice, agree on Luton, but then again they perhaps are destined to have a weird stadium, as anyone who's been to Kenilworth Rd will testify.  The oldham one look Ok too.  I'm a fan of clubs who try something a bit different, the Sarfend one has tried it, whether they've suceeded is another point?

Best stadium I have ever been to was the Amsterdam arena Ajax's ground fantastic stuff.  

Very interesting place as well with bullet proof glass surrounding the away end  :shock: as well as tunnel out of the away end up into a private train station so home fans cant get at them.  

Believe this was all put up because of mental clashes between Feyenoord and Ajax fans after games.  Fond memories as well as day of our tour round the stadium Swindon Tartan Army walked into a lamp post, classic walking through Amsterdam with blood coming from his head and people asking how he did it  :D

I like loftus rd too, very clautrophobic-  a full house is loud and intimidating.  Square stands do see a bit more 'English' I'm not the biggest fans of the bowl, it's all a bit plastic for me.  Some jumbotron screens could fill the corners nicely, or executive boxes would be cool.

I was there for 98 Scotland 0 Morocco 3 (the wankers), it was redeveloped for le coupe du monde and looked impressive, if my memory serves me right.

St Etienne are having a decent season this year, which is good.  Zaboub's old club you know.

I'd love to go and see Boca Juniors player River Plate - it would be mental.

Only non-British stadium I've been to to watch a football match (New England Revolution 1-0 Chicago Fire) was at the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Yes, okay it's an American Football stadium but it's still a great stadium to visit.

You're not alone - there are times when I like football grounds more than the football so I'm probably more of a sad fucker.  Take Carlisle's ground - a new stand that is built yards out of kilter with the pitch..why not change the pitch!! Yet they have still got the three gabled end stand which I reckon is fantastic.  Wolves have a great ground but what happened to that brilliant stand that started with small V roofs and just got bigger.  Ther was a time when it was brilliant going to different grounds, pretty soon everyone will have the same concrete bowl - and don't even get me onto floodlights... you never had to work out where the football ground was when you drove to a new town,  you could see from miles away..now you haven't got a clue.  At least the County Ground is still loud and proud
