Well having been to the following over the last few years:

Old Trafford
Anfield
The Co Council ground (Eastlands)
White Hart Lane
Goodison Park
St James' Park
Stamford Bridge
Villa Park

My choice for the best ground by a wide mile is....Cue drum roll

The Emirates Stadium
(I take no joy in saying so as I dislike the Gooners almost as much as Totten(s)ham).

Haven't been to a match there yet (will be going on the 7th April) but went to a conference there recently. I don't think there are any seats that don't have a perfect view and the design of the stadium is very impressive. Now all the Gooners need is a set of fans who could give it some atmosphere!.

Sorry really biased about this - so if we use the same rules as the footballer of the year where you cannot vote for anyone from your own club then I would go for......

Craven Cottage - its one of those grounds that hasn't got the "meccano" kit look of Boro or Bolton or Blackburn - a "1970's" ground which still has the cottage in the corner!!

(only issue was the £45 per ticket price this year!!)

Anfield has the best atmosphere by a mile.

Emirates for the wow factor.

But Im off to the new Wembley on Sat for the first proper game- so will let you know!

Hahahahahahaa

My favourite stadium is...

Anfield

Its not because I am a Liverpool fan, its just that the atmosphere is superb all the times I go and its got that homely feel that you can get used to!

Goodison Park is where the peasants of Merseyside play and the JJB Stadium is too draughty...whenever Latics play home matches there[:p]

Yeah, Craven Cottage; being right next to the river is really nice, and the actual cottage, like MarkJ said, is a good touch.

The new Old Trafford quadrants extension makes it look even better, it really is a great ground + the food and drink queues are always next to nothing where I sit, even at half-time. Comparing OT and, for example, Fratton Park, the ground itself is way, way better, but those Portsmouth fans certainly know how to cheer their team home. (Along with United, of course). Newcastle fans are good and when Arsenal beat United 1-0 at OT in september, their support was fantastic - but it's nowhere to be found at the Emirates, like you say Jon B, though the stadium itself looks great.

The millenium stadium, even though not a premiership ground, has hosted its fair share of premiership clubs over the past few years, and that's great too being right in the centre of a wonderful city and by the river. That's my favourite, but my favourite club ground would be Old Trafford. There was no contest all the way really... [:p]
