Nice comments about the Valley, although they're showing the lesser two stands in the photo. Rating behind Portman Road, Craven Cottage and the Hawthorns is a bit hard to swallow, frankly.
I still fondly remember the game against Spurs the second time we were newly promoted to the premiership. We had opened the season beating newly promoted Man City 4-0 and Spurs were the first 'big' established team with Sergei Rebrov up front. Both sets of fans created the most amazing atmosphere and we won 2-0. For me that was the best atmosphere I have ever experienced at the Valley and I though 'welcome to the premier league!' Happy days.
Norwich should be far higher, as should Bramall Lane.
Leicester should be lower. It's St Mary's or The Riverside in blue. I don't care if they've had a good season.
For some reason journalists have an odd boner for Craven Cottage. It's okay but not worth its consistent praise.
cos it's set down beside a lovely park with father Thames just over the wall .. gives the impression that tea served on bone china cups and cucumber sandwiches should be served at half time
Leicester might have a dull bowl, but it's well located when compared to many of the other new grounds.
Not really. It’s a similar/shorter distance walk from the station in Derby, Boro, Cardiff, Sunderland and Southampton. There’s not much around the stadium apart from the usual retail parks and a Beefeater type pub. The concourses are too small. Like the others it's a soulless bowl but has elevated status because Leicester won the league.

Soon as we get those flats we'll be number one.

Selhurst may be a dump, but it deserves to be higher than Loftus Road, as at least there's an atmosphere there
Nice ground in my opinion.
Never liked Loftus Road. Bit of a dump, shit facilities and the view from the away end has always been terrible.
