Stadiums - First, Best, Worst & Want to visit.

Stadium where I saw my first ever pro game - sadly the County Ground, Swinetown. Dad supported them and took me to a few games as a nipper. Fortunately I saw the light as I got old enough to attend games on my own.

Best stadium I've ever been to - Think it has to be The Millennium Stadium or Anfield based on atmospheres.

Worst stadium I've been to - For me it has to be the Deva, Chester. Souless, concrete out of town effort.

Want to visit - I fancy going to one of the big Turkish derby games when international travel is allowed. Closer to home, I'd like to go to Ibrox.

First was Ninian Park (as a kid I liked Spurs, who were FA Cup opponents that day). I stood fairly near the TV gantry (said hello to Barry Davies pre-game). It was exciting yet scary being in such a large crowd.

The best - I visited the Maracana pre-rebuild which was pretty awe-inspiring but there was no game on. Atmosphere-wise I'd say it was the San Siro (just a wall of sound when Milan scored).

The worst - are we counting non-league? Did Racing Club Warwick actually have a ground? I think Layer Road, Colchester, or Belle Vue, Doncaster, were my least favourite. They both seemed decrepit and unloved.

I'd like to get to a Barcelona game one day.

Incidentally I went to Ibrox a couple of years back. It was a cracking old ground. Though I was troubled by the flag-waving. It just seemed incendiary. I've never been to Celtic Park, mind. Maybe that's as bad.
