    being a spurs fan as well i am gonna have to say white hart lane,but without doubt the worst away ground in the league has to be the withdene at brighton,the fans are so far from the pitch you cant tell who is who.the worst away stand if you can call it that is gillingham ,no roof and you are on a bit of scaffolding that moves all over the place

    The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is easily the best, VIP tickets too! The worst has got to be Herefords..

    The best for me is Camp Nou, the worst is quite possibly Barnet.

    Best was the Bernabeu or Camp Nou. New Wembley not far behind too. All fantastic arenas.

    Worst was LKS Lodz in Poland. Sat in an uncovered stand in freezing temperatures on a wooden bench and wondering at what point the whole stadium was going to collapse. The football wasn't much better either!

    Just English club grounds would be - best: The Emirates (sorry Rocky) and worst Withdean.

    best- new wembley, really nice and new- went there when it was just opening.
    worst- brighton, sat in a makeshift stand that reminded me of when i used to have school photos taken. Football was bad as well, and i could only see until about the halfway line.

    Worst ground is defo the Withdean. Appalling view in a makeshift stand that is approx 300yds from the pitch.
    Agree with Rocky also about White Hart Lane.....a proper football ground with stands that are close to the pitch

    Oxford's old ground was pretty ****, and their new one has only three sides.

    From a non-league point of view (and Oxford fans know all about that), the best ground was Darlington's white elephant and the worst has to be Northwich Victoria, which claims to be the oldest in England and looks like it's not had much of a paint job since it was built. Scotland (and not mentioning the Old Firm scumbags) best ground visited is Hibs, close to the pitch and a great atmosphere. Worst is away end at Aberdeen, with the north sea breeze wisping against your face, lovely on Boxing day with a hangover. There's also somewhere with outdoor bogs that look out onto the North Sea as you pee, I can't remember where though. Good on a nice day. Bad on a rainy day.

    Don't worry Rocky, he's just misguided.
    The Emirates needs taking back (brick by brick) south of the river where they belong

    If it's any consolation, I didn't go there to watch Arsenal! It was the Brazil v Argentina game a few years ago.

    In an odd way Best - Forest Green Rovers sat on top of the hill above Nailsworth, just purely for the peculiar siting and warm welcome by the fans. Worst Hereford, just needs pulling down.

    Best ground ive been to - Nou Camp. Best English ground - Wembley. For atmosphere, the Britannia when Stoke are doing well takes some beating.

    Worst ground - Gateshead. Freezing cold, we got beat and its an athletic stadium so you were a long way from the pitch. Layer Road was hole of a ground too.
