    Favourite New Grounds

    Not one that is normally covered...

    Really, really liked MK Dons.. I think it is that second tier that swings it..

    Sorry Claw but the Olymic Stadium looks nice as well. West Ham are lucky to get that.

    I've seen an impression of the new Tottenham one as well, bastar ds.

    Not many get the Angry seal of approval. If I was designing, I would go for the four individual stands look...

    Derby, Boro, Sunderland and the rest of the soulless bowls.. Meh.

    Any others I have missed?

    I actually like Pride Park!

    Readings is a nice ground, but Swansea's is a concrete cesspit and only holds 20,250 how is that a premier league ground?

    I know there are a few Rams fans on here and I am not saying it because of that but I did like Pride Park on my last visit there 5 seasons ago. Cracking ground with a decent capacity and easy to get to.

    I agree with gards that Pride Park is a good stadium, shame they changed the to Ipro.

    West ham are so lucky to get the Olympic Park, lovely stadium but of course they will never own it even the goal posts belong to us. Went there during Olympics, great new station (Stratford) and in a lovely setting.

    Saints (St Marys) also up there.

    I'm with Swale on Swansea I am described it as a concrete car park with seats. Terrible place.

    Best new on is man city (eastlands as was). Place like pride park and the like can not compare. I don't really like pride park but compared to a lot of the aging ground like b Elland road and the pity ground is much better still.

    We should have built PP as an exact replica of the BBG, but replace the wooden stands with concrete for fire safety reasons, no stand pillars and a proper pitch. As much as the mud was synonymous with the BBG and we played some great matches on it we do not currently have the players with sufficient skill to play on it to our advantage.

    A design like that would have retained the atmosphere. The new place is soulless
