Only ours and the Jacks,don’t know if Wembley and Arms Park/millemiun count.
Worst new one is London Stadium, it's totally unsuited to football. Quite the difference to that and Upton Park!
The Emirates is a lovely stadium, as was Highbury. Highbury was a proper ground, for a proper football club. I was gutted the new Spurs stadium wasn't going to be ready for our visit.

The guard let us out with a bollocking when we were passing through a station called Stone, a name too close to Stoke for comfort.Quote:

I went there for an FA Cup game in the mid 80s. We lost 2-1. We went 1-0 up and most of us didn't realise we'd scored until we saw the players celebrating.Quote:

The experience of Millwall's, 'Cold Blow Lane,' was, shall we say, somewhat tasty ... and I was in the grandstand. Stoke was 1968 (FA Cup game) I think. That's another story.Quote:
