Favourite grounds

Easily for me is The Den. The atmosphere is 2nd to none. Loved Wembley when we won the play offs. Carrow road was rocking when I was there. Was some game though as we were 3-2 up in injury time and lost 4-3. Boltons ground was smart. Much of the stadiums are alike though.
Up here Tynecastle is excellent. Loved the Derry when I had my season ticket there although it is basically a shed.

Celtic Park

Ibrox when it was first built ahead of its time .

Tynecastle for atmosphere.

Gayfield park I used to go see them when I had a caravan in Arbroath

Gayfield is so cold in the middle of winter and the wind coming off the north sea.

Somerset has a certain old school charm.

I can't see by Ibrox though.  It's absolutely fantastic.  From the marble staircase, to it's listed status, the red brick facade, the Union flag, to the packed trophy room, traditional managers office and the Blue Room.. everything about it just screams magnificence and dignity.

I'd love to go to The Den one day, LionMo.

A couple of times there has been a bus full of Rangers fans that came down to support the Wall. Have seen Rangers flags at away games as well. Have actually spoken to a couple of bears when we were at Preston.

I like Ibrox for the red, white and blue and Union flags everywhere. Would love to attend on armed forces day. Will also do a tour one day

Arsenal was class as well with marble and the best of everything. Did a tour but did not attend a game

That's good to know, LionMo!

I know there's a Rangers/Millwall contingent that go on one of the Rangers buses in Kinning Park in Glasgow.

I thoroughly recommend the Ibrox tour.  We could both do it together and go round the different newsagents' covering up The National beforehand?  It'd be a really fun day out!

I'm sure the Highbury main stand was modelled on Ibrox.

Dens Park for me and my seat in the Derry.

Like Partick but more for the day out in the West End, best away day in Glasgow.
I post, the dafties always dive right in!

You’ll be right at home there with that checked Harris Tweed jacket with elbow patches.
They’ll think you’re a local.

I always liked going to Ibrox. And Tynecastle. And Tannadice.

Goodison Park is great for atmosphere. The Stadium I’ve genuinely liked the most though is Old Trafford.

Been to the San Siro as well. It is a shitehole.

My cousin played for Man United .
Last I heard he shows people around the stadium with his suit on .

He was always smartly dressed and a bit weird tbf.

I was in the top tier of the Stretford End for Roy Keane’s testimonial. It was great. Cristiano Ronaldo was sensational. Nobody could get near him.

Some player I think he's now the best in the world ..

For me Messi isn't the same .
