Stamford Bridge
The Bridge is one of the largest stadiums in the country (over 40,000 seats) with plans to expand upwards of 60,000 by 2021. Staggeringly, the stadium has been known to hold 83,000 back in 1935 – that’s the kind of history you just won’t find with new, ultra-modern stadia. On a busy matchday, the stadium … Read More
Selhurst Park

London Stadium
It’s an infant. London Stadium was built for the Olympic Games back in 2012, and fans will be adjusting to their surroundings for quite some time; but man oh man, it’s one hell of a stadium! Sleek, modern and visually stunning, it’s only a matter of time until it becomes one of the premier sporting … Read More
Loftus Road
Like many old UK football grounds, Loftus Road has seen better days.

Situated just outside the heart of London city centre, the venue is one of the most accessible in the country. The Cottage is known … Read More
Goodison Park
Goodison Park is also known as the Grand Old Lady; that should give you an insight into the history that surrounds this ground. Everton FC have kept this ground steeped in tradition. From the quaintness of St Luke’s Church attached to the stadiums edge to the stewards throwing out toffees before each game, Goodison Park … Read More
Anfield
Anfield is one of the premier landmarks of English football and is the home ground of Liverpool FC.

There are classic English pubs within a … Read More
St Andrew’s
The St Andrews Stadium looks absolutely monstrous (-ly large) from the outside, but inside the appearance is a little underwhelming. The stands are not steep at all, so the fans in the rear rows are quite far from the action. However, the stadium is neat, well-kept and pretty stylish with its tides of blue seating. … Read More
