Yeah I saw this last night. If I'm honest and slightly biased I would put our ground in the top 5 and wouldn't complain about being behind Old Trafford or Anfield but our ground is more unique than Highbury Emirates, Stamford Bridge and the Etihiad. But as I clicked through I was pleasantly surprised just how high we actually were. You don't expect neutrals to see what we see.

It wasn't all an accurate reflection though, QPR that high?  22nd I think they were. Very generous and it also lists their ground as qpr and Fulham lol.

Yes, I was surprised at QPR too......but as you say, look at it as a neutral and we are classified higher than some notable grounds.

I think that it is a very strange thing to do. How on earth do you do research without visiting the place on a match day. How does it cope with big crowds. What are the toilets like, even what are the people like. let's be honest you get a different perception from all over the ground. Are you an away supporter or a home supporter. Then in the end who cares! I like the Cottage and I have done since the first time I walked through the turnstyle, half a century ago.

Amazing how many of these grounds are no longer here.
From The Dell to Roker Park, to Highbury. Lots of memories.
