Best ground in the Championship ?

[banjo]

If there was a league table for the best ground in the Championship were would You rate the Amex ?

 

[SeagullSongs]

At the moment, easily in the top 3 or so.
When it's completed there will be no competition.

 

[Drumstick]

1) Upton Park
2)Leeds United
3)Forest
4)Amex
5)St Andrews

A finished Amex would be 3rd behind the current top two.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind the Amex is the best.

I don't care what the sour losing fans of opponents say. It may be slightly lop-sided and look unfinished at the moment, but, in terms of viewing, acoustics and how it looks like from the outside, it is simply awesome.

I feel excited every time I drive by it and just love matchdays.

 

[Oscar]

Haven't been to them all but based on facilities, view and atmosphere it must be one of the best - unless of course you are one of the many who love the authenticity of places like Elland Road and Portman Road.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

I cant believe that people put Elland Road........unless its for History. The ground is a tired old relic of the 70's. The facilities are very poor and so is the view.

 

[watsongooal]

We would be in a playoff position.

West Ham, Leeds, Forest, Saints, Brum, Derby all great grounds.

 

[Southwick_Seagull]

No mention of London Road yet?

Ahead of the likes of Southampton and Derby for sure.

London Road best away ground ever- FACT

I would throw the KC into the mix too, very Amex-esque with its sloping roof, not your typical bowl. Probably at the expense of Leeds and I'm not that impressed with Brum either. Plus if you include St Marys you have to add the Kingpower as they're identical which in my view disqualifies them both for me!

The Amex will be tops once completely finished.

 

[Blackadder]

I went on "The Amex Tour" last night and I was amazed at facilities "below stairs".

I am going to put the Amex..........top. Maybe I am a little biased.

Will be awesome when it is finished.

Generally the newer stadiums are good, Doncasters was alright, would be better if it was full really.

London Road is probably only good because it has the terraces, apart from that it wasnt that good.

Fixed for you.
I still f***ing loved it though.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

elland road is a f***ing shit hole

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

it, of course, comes down to personal opinion

cardiff, coventry, derby, leicester, middlesbrough, reading and southampton all have grounds that are fairly new and bigger than the amex

still prefer the amex though as i find the grounds listed above a bit DULL

Fair enough, but yeah the atmosphere in our end was great - their end.....another subject.

Elland Road isnt nice and is nowhere near one of the best.

 

[Spider]

London Road, Elland Road, City Ground. All are better than any new stadiums. Don't really get why people start saying "oh the facilities are rubbish", as if old-fashioned urinals are in any way as important as the atmosphere at the ground. Not to mention the fact that the toilet facilities at Amex are easily the worst of any ground I've been to!

 

[Commander]

Depends what you mean by 'best'. Facilities wise, it's probably number 1. London Road is my favourite away ground in the Championship, but it's probably just about the worst ground in the division.

But for the whole matchday experience for away fans, as far the new grounds go the Amex is probably the best. But as an away fan I'd still personally prefer going to the older ones with the history.

 

[middletoenail]

How many of those stadiums are built within the rolling hills of the countryside? How many have padded seats? How many have 2x HD jumbotrons?

I could go on....

Was just a general veiw of the look rather than anything else, but I do like the older style grounds. would'nt swap the Amex though.
