        Best;
        Goodison Park - Just can't beat how great it can be under the floodlights against a big team.
        Anfield - Love it and the Kop is a thing of beauty, shame about those that inhabit it.
        Old Trafford - Magnificent Stadium (should hope so for the ticket prices)
        Upton Park - Loved the atmosphere.
        Glanford Park (S****horpe) + Griffin Park (Brentford) - dives by PL standards but I love the feeling at tiny grounds like those.
        Villa Park - Reminds me of Goodison for some reason.
        Wembley - Stunning when full.
         
        Worst;
        Ewood Park - May have been down to small attendance though.
        Molineux + St. Andrews - Don't like the atmosphere in either.
        DW Stadium - Dive.
         
        Good Stadiums, awful atmosphere;
        City of Manchester, Reebok, Stadium of Light, Stamford Bridge (probably more to do with the match though)

          Best
          • Old Wembley. Atmosphere in abundance, just a classic. The new one should have been modeled on the old ground.
          • Old Trafford. Again, great atmosphere in the Stretty End, good view from pretty much everywhere, and seats really close to the pitch.
          • The Recreation Ground, Bath. Ok, so a rugby stadium and really nothing impressive, two of the stands are temporary and uncovered, but it's in a great setting is something of a classic.

          Worst
          • New Wembley. Yea, it's a great structure, but it is not, and not in my lifetime will ever be Wembley. It's lifeless, soulless and sterile.

            Best; 

            Nou Camp - Went for Barcelona vs Madrid, best atmosphere I've ever witnessed, like a festival atmosphere.

            Old Trafford - Can be good on some games, just depends as it can be deafly silent sometimes. However facilties and seating are top notch

            I haven't really been to enough away grounds at the mo to comment on any others so

                  Best:
                  Victoria Park (Hartlepool) - Love the terraces of a football stadium, just seems better for some reason. Also, brilliant pint and pies.
                  Roker Park - same as above, just loved it.
                  Old Trafford - Very impressive stadium
                   
                  Worst:
                  St James Park - Anyone who has had the displeasure of visiting this stadium as an opposition fan, you'll know what I mean. You get stuck right up in the nosebleeds and you need a ****ing telescope to see the pitch. Other than that, it's not too bad.
                  Cowdenbeath  - That fucking track!

                    Best:
                    New Wembley - Stunning.
                    St James' Park - Regardless of the diabolical away view, I love it.
                    Old Trafford - Love the place, the atmosphere isn't as bad as it's made out to be either.
                    Vicarage Road - Dunno why, I just like it.
                     
                    Worst:
                    St Andrews - Home, yes, but honestly, it's a shithole in a shite area.
                    Villa Park - Fuck off.
                    Goodison Park - In the scummiest area of Liverpool which is quite a feat, and an awful stadium anyway.

                        Maybe the 'scummiest area' was a slight exaggeration but it's still a dive of an area, come on man.
                         
                        I'm inclined to agree however, we have a rather fickle core fanbase at times, I'm 'happy' to admit that.

                              Best:
                              Old Trafford- Home, plus it has the best atmosphere of anywhere I've ever been, seatched Stretford End though, atmosphere there was never gonna be anything but amazing.
                              Villa Park - Again, pretty amazing atmosphere. Though it was an International game, England v Portugal in 2002 before Webley was finished, might be different for a club game.
                               
                              Worst:
                              Emirates Stadium - Weird atmosphere, the services any everything are good but the atmosphere was just strange.

                                  Best

                                  Hillsborough - duh
                                  Camp Nou - only been once, going again in a few weeks and I can't wait
                                  Walkers Stadium - really nice stadium even though it's a poor atmosphere and the fans are rubbish
                                  Wembley - I just love it
                                  Old Trafford - great stadium from what I remember

                                  Worst

                                  St. Andrews - a total ****hole, the stadium and the area
                                  Ricoh Arena - just no atmosphere at all


                                  I've heard a lot of people say that. Never been myself but it's strange that a lot of people hate it for the same reason. Apparently the sound just flies straight out of the stadium and noone can hear anything.
                                   
                                  Thought of another decent one. Sixfields, Northampton Town's ground. Very neat little stadium.
                                   
                                  Glad I wasn't old enough to go there when they were at the County Cricket ground, dear oh dear.

                                      I've only been to Pittodrie and WHL 
                                       
                                      Pittodrie is a slight dive; far too many seagulls flying about, always freezing and the atmosphere isn't the greatest but I still enjoy going there.
                                       
                                      Loved the atmosphere at WHL and have had a great view the times I've been there.
                                       
                                      Oh, I played at Almondvale Stadium, home to Livingston which was good but can't really comment on the stadium as a whole.

                                        It IS always fucking baltic. The atmosphere used to be grand, although that was back when you still had the likes of Eoin Jess!
