Shame about the teams though - all massive under achievers over the last few decades. Football success is all about the north west and the south east these days.
@@chrisso871 historically quite difficult to get players to make a move to the north East with Manchester and London being two of the biggest cities in the country, players are more likely to pick those spots over the likes of living in Sunderland, Leeds or Sheffield. Newcastle are the obvious outliers here but that is quite a good city and they still struggle to achieve what similarly funded clubs from Manchester or London can
Bournemouth was the smallest in the premier league , with the new Bobbers stand and safe standing in the Oak road stand, Luton went above them 😊 Vitality stadium 11,379 Kenilworth Road 12,000.
as an Italian tarvelling to the UK i've been to Ashton Gate and Liberty Stadium back in early 2020, just before the Covid started, i wish i could be other matches live soon, maybe Derby County or Sheffield wednesday
I've followed my team (HCAFC) to all of them, at some time or other.. except 1...Oxford. Top 6 (in no order) SofL, Bramall Lane, Ashton Gate, CBS, Home Park, Pride Park. Bottom 6. Portsmouth, Luton, Millwall, QPR, Burnley, Stoke.
I've been to Watford away (it was 2015 when they went up) the atmosphere was incredible. Been to wednesday away in 2022, thought it was quite quiet after they sang hi ho tbh
Well done.......thanks for not mentioning the new fanzone and the installation of safe standing area which will be ready for the new season. Which other club is investing so much in their supporters
QPR is a bit underrated. Loftus Road isn't in a nice area but in the away end, I liked how close you can be to the pitch. The QPR fans are a passionate bunch too, especially when you consider they could easily support Chelsea or Fulham instead. They make a lot of noise and add to the matchday experience.
I know you haven't been to renovated Ashton Gate yet, but when you do, the atmosphere will blow you away. Definitely one of the loudest grounds in the Championship. Easily top-6.
As a Norwich Fan I personally really like our stadium. I think the goal music is funny especially how it can really boil the piss of the away fans. People may call it tinpot but that's just the point proven of how it gets to people.
Leeds #1. Can't complain. I like your use of pictures of the grounds. I have given you a 👍🏻 (This video would have worked better as a pre-prepared 24-1.)
I’ve not been to too many grounds in the last 40 years. Bitd I’d go everywhere especially in Yorkshire, I did however go to Cardiff 3 years ago and I thought it was great. I don’t like the new stadiums as they’re all much of a muchness.but I thought Cardiff
We don't care if others don't like the goal music. After all it plays when we score, not the opposition. It's a quirk in our club and we love it, it's just a mood. 💛💚🎵🎶
Chris Sutton said midway through last season Norwich had a better ground than Ipswich when things were looking like the East Anglian seesaw was tipping away from Norfolk! Ipswich will now be catching that one up too due to Premier League requirements! Carrow Road remains a top stadium though and is a good model to copy But unless teams get or have recently had Premier League status comparisons can be a bit unfair
one of the reasons we have that goal music at Carrow Road is precisely to annoy, imagine conceding and being forced to listen to that until the game kicks off again, rubbing it in 😂
Got to say Plymouth really create some noise home and away. Singing all around the ground at home. Stadium needs some finishing though. A few more thousand and they’d be top half.
Never been to any of these stadiums or England whatsoever. My top 10: 1 Hillsborough 2 Stadium of Light 3 Elland Road 4 Pride Park 5 Brammal Lane 6 Fratton Park 7 CBS 8 Home Park 9 Riverside 10 Deepdale
Nice video (apart from Pompey, but I might be slightly biased!)! Have you seen the designs for the new Oxford stadium (someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it will be the first all-electric stadium in the UK) - it would easily be one of the best in the league!
Sheffield Wednesday should be in the top 6, however it’s a bloody shithole. Riverside & pride park virtually the same, 1 big factor is the fans Derby get better support & atmosphere is always bang on.
Hillsborough is becoming outdated. One side still has roof supports which partly blocks supporter's view. The pitch slopes very slightly. Some of the seating in the corners is uncovered. Parking is difficult.
I'm a Bolton fan but I've visited 7 of these grounds. For personal rankings for me in terms of the ones I've been to I'd have this: 1. Pride Park (Derby 2-1 Bolton (2022/23 League One)) - Not the best result, but the atmosphere on the day was great with both home and away fans going back and forth the entire game. 2. Fratton Park (Portsmouth 2-0 Bolton (2023/24 League One)) - Cracking home atmosphere and the ground has a lot of character. Unfortunately we got dismantled again on live TV 🤦♂ 3. Stadium of Light (Sunderland 1-0 Bolton (2021/22 League One)) - Friendly locals, atmosphere was okay given the state Sunderland were in at that point, but it was an even game. 4. Loftus Road (QPR 4-3 Bolton (2015/16 Championship)) - Went with a mate to this one and while the ground is compact and has character, I'd have been better off chopping my legs off owing to the non-existent leg room. We went 2-0 up in 12 minutes and lost with the last kick of the game, and the goal music continues to annoy me even now... 9 years later. The only reason I didn't rank this lower is because of the practical goalfest that the game ended up being 5. Kassam Stadium (Oxford 0-1 Bolton (2022/23 League One)) - First away day following our EFL Trophy win. Atmosphere wasn't great but the food was alright and I bumped into Vernon Kay on the concourse 6. Home Park (Plymouth 3-0 Bolton (2021/22 League One)) - Locals were friendly although disappointed we couldn't take drinks of any kind into the stands (including my Bovril for some reason). We didn't play well, but the second half should have been played in the Tamar. 7. Kenilworth Road (Luton 0-0 Bolton (2023/24 FA Cup 3rd Round)) - Might be an old ground but it's showing its age, the atmosphere on the day was practically non-existent from the home fans aside from a 5 minute spell before halftime.
Went there last season. It's decent but there is no room for your legs when you sit down. You have to be a midget to feel comfortable on those seats. Definitely must be a bottom 6 for that reason alone.
Leeds ,Sheff utd ,Sheff weds,Boro,Pompey Coventry my Top 6 . Sunderland is half empty most of the time ... cannot justify them being in the top 6 ..I would have QPR above them too maybe in 7th & then then Sunderland in 8th just 🤷♀️.. Sorry Matt .😮
@@johnfurness2346 I have nothing against them at all. Nice big stadium with great facilities & a pretty talented squad. Shame that the fans don't turn up to support the side ...
SWFC average attendance last season was 26k, you beat that, up the R's? Answer- No you can't All the teams you mentioned get bigger crowds than your stadium would actually hold, you twonk. Do one
??? Are you going off the actual stadium build or how full they get? Headline says ranking championship stadiums?? Ridiculous comment about a decent day out in Cardiff, thought you was ranking stadiums?
Hillsboro is like having a love for an E type Jaguar. It's a classic stadium that has hardly changed since the late 1980's. At that time it was easily one of the best stadiums in England but is now showing its age. Still pretty iconic and classic though but is being left behind each and every year. The Leppings Lane (away end) needs knocking down and rebuilding.

SHARE YOUR PREDICTIONS
As a Luton Town fan, I will admit we are last with Oxford United 😅
I think the Northern Championship stadiums are the best
1st Elland Road
2nd Stadium of Light
3rd Hillsborough
4th Bramall Lane
5th Deepdale
6th Pride Park
Completely agree with Portsmouth being underrated, pompey John and his bell are iconic
I love John, he is my mate and I have many pictures with him, I am Pompey til I die, I believe we are brilliant despite our tiny stadium.
When Fratton is rocking probably only Elland Road beats it.
Fratton Park is a lovely stadium and has lots of character
Fratton park will be electric with more away fans in the Championship! Bring it on.
As a Swans fan looking forward to visiting fratton park again. Went in 2009 for the FA cup match, had a great away day
As a Luton Town fan, I will admit we are last with Oxford United 😅
as an Oxford fan, I agree. both have character tho lol. but we are buying a new one
We'll do swapsies, i think kenilworth is kinda neat and our stadium is an irredeemable sh*thole
Hull city , leeds , sheff wed , sheff utd , YORKSHIRE BEST
Plymouth Argyle and Pompey both decent in my view
Elland Road, The Stadium of Light, Hillsborough, Fratton Park and Carrow Road are my top 5
Hillsborough is an absolute rust bucket
Hillsborough stadium is better than E,R mate
@@MarkPitsmoorOwl joker
Fratton park spelled backwards is krap nott arf
@@Kris_1708 Rust buckets are usually the best for atmosphere.
For history, a guaranteed full house and a great atmosphere it’s the revamped Fratton Park.
There was only one place for Pompey really let's face it, great old skool stadium, plenty of character with a solid passionate fan base
I would agree with all of this, spot on! Brilliant video
Love that you love Fratton Park. Look forward to your match day vlog PUP 💙
If Middlesbrough are in the top 6 derby should be same stadium and derby fill the ground every week especially in division 1 imo

Luton's ground wasnt the smallest in the pemier league last season.
Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City are great
The CBS will never beat Highfield Road for the older Coventry City fans
Even for those of us away fans who went there a long time ago. Highfield Rd was a very good stadium.
Loved the old Highfield ground as an away supporter
I said this to matt sb ages ago now , highfeild rd was a away ground you looked forward to going to .
Highfield Road in the corner between the West Terrace home fans and the away fans was great. Portsmouth fans liked it so much they tried to join us!
Hillsborough is our beloved home, it's the best 👌, thanks Matt

Isn't Pride Park the same stadium build as Middlebro? But with more fans?

It would be interesting to see your opinions on the grounds without taking into account atomosphere, fans, food and experience too.
Portsmouth is the best club ever in the world 🌍 🌏🌏🌎🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌎
Elland Road out on its own, iconic with an unmatched atmosphere.. Fratton Park in the runners up spot
Looking forward to seeing you at Fratton park 🙂

I think you should come down to Home Park next season fantastic location in the city and a great weekend away :)
A lot of work improving Fratton park in the last couple of years , hopefully the atmosphere will help us when we need it .
Im happy to be in top six
Btw im a portsmouth fan

The QPR fans are a passionate bunch too, especially when you consider they could easily support Chelsea or Fulham instead. They make a lot of noise and add to the matchday experience.
Real estate wise, QPR's ground is top of the league.
Touche 😅. My mum was from Northwood Hills and QPR was my grandfather's team. I like the ground actually.
But Craven Cottage is potentially top of the world league on that basis . . .
I probably would rank Norwich City Carrow Road Stadium 8/10.
I never visited any of these stadiums. I'd really like to visit Hillsborough and stadium of light.
thank you matt
Hillsborough rust bucket 😂😂
I think you got it bang on. Come on the North End.
Hi Matt SB
Cardiff should be top 6 atmosphere is lit and it is always full

Might be a bad ground with 3 sides but the pitch is excellent and don't forget New Stadium on the Horizon!
Riverside is always bouncing and for an away fan it always seems like a club with a really nice atmosphere.

Frattin Park above the Riverside. Location, history and atmosphere, all far better.

As a rovers dan, i'd put us 7-12. The matches I have been to, its been buzzing.
Well we all know what number 1 is before the video even starts. Since our promotion and until we get promoted again I don’t see it changing

Does Fratton Park still have the goal posts on top of a hill? What was that about, never found out and even if it’s legal
Looks like Yorkshire is the place to be
South Yorkshire is the home of football.
Take me home, Highfield Road!!!!
Leeds United number 1
Vicarage Road is up there!
Why’s Elland Road here Leeds went up after beating Leicester 3-1? (In all seriousness it is a top tier ground lol)

Away fans get their own stand, you'll be fine
Can we all take a minute and just appreciate the food at the MKM Stadium, voted best food in the EFL.
Massive achievement for Hull City
1 Home Park
2 Pride Park
Hillsborough is becoming outdated. One side still has roof supports which partly blocks supporter's view. The pitch slopes very slightly. Some of the seating in the corners is uncovered. Parking is difficult.
Who could argue with that? I dream of the days when Swansea get relegated at the last minute 😂
Just let you all know away fans are being moved at stoke to the curved corner in the south stand
Riverside is always top 6❤️

Kenilworth Rd is hands down the most disgusting stadium.....it's not really a stadium, it's a shack
