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.

Jeez.. some of you boys go back a long time. Millwall/Stoke’s old grounds - we must have last played there in the early 80s
Did the Victoria Ground in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat in the late 60s. Just checked, 27th January 1968, good God, 53 years ago nigh on, terrifying thought

I can remember drinking outside a pub, by a roundabout, for this game.Did the Victoria Ground in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat in the late 60s. Just checked, 27th January 1968, good God, 53 years ago nigh on, terrifying thought
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.Did the Victoria Ground in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat in the late 60s.

I just remembered I saw Charlton play at the Valley and at Selhurst Park if that counts.
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.
