Elton John has been a lifelong fan of Watford FC. He became director and chairman in 1976 and within eight years, the club was in the FA Cup Final. He sold the club in the late 80s to concentrate on his then-failing personal life. He rebought it in 1997, stepped down again in 2002, but is still a stakeholder.

Good choice for number 1 😊 I’m an Albion fan and I love the traditional look of the stadium. Legend has it the name The Hawthorns was a nickname due to the ground being full of hawthorn bushes before it was built and the name stuck
I am a 51 year old Albion fan too and although I love the Hawthornes I still say it's too small. The Halfords lane stand is tiny and it should have another tier added. Yes I understand that due to the main road we are limited to space. However it's not impossible for it to be extended especially with modern engineering. Another option would be to extend both corners that are either side to the Main stand. Preferably I'd love to see both of my ideas come to be a reality. But I have to say that I wouldn't ever want to leave the Hawthornes for a new ground.
Love these videos and the commentary always makes me laugh 🤣. Interesting adding the Liver building at the end, maybe a nod to EFC who have offices in the building and how they look destined to be relegated to the championship 👍😉
Pretty good order but Kenilworth Road should be higher, not only is it a really unique stadium but your commentary on that one was great so you set a really high standard that was always going to be hard to top right off the bat. I think the Huddersfield one should be near the bottom along with St. Andrew's, hard to argue with the rest of your rankings otherwise.
Nice to see Rotherham at no6. Lovely little ground and fantastic atmosphere but I would personally have put Sunderland much higher, again lovely ground and great atmosphere.
didn't expect the Coventry stadium to get too high but i think it should be noted that Wasps Rugby ni longer owns the ground. it is now owned by of all people Mike Ashley.
haha i love kenny road, home of my beloved hatters. the away fans go through a terraced house to get to the stand. which is also a row od terraced houses. we need a new home, the cameras on tv are very kind with their placement lol
@@davidspear9790 you have no idea Dave haha. the old bobbers stand had it's seats ripped out in 1986 and it looks f**king awful. they wanted money instead of more support. we've been seeking a new ground since 1955 ffs
Thanks for the video. Some interesting rankings! The away stand at Blackpool is absolutely disgusting. Lack of turnstiles and toilets. The sea guls love it though.
CBS in Coventry might be the nicest thing in (more outside the city, like 20 miles outside) the city. Such a glum, depressing and underfunded city with rife poverty. Genuinely one of the worst places I've ever been to. I was born near Loftus Road!
And now Luton Town are 1 game from the premier league. Will the worst stadium (no doubt about that, although it does have that old-time football atmosphere) in the EFL Championship house a Premier League club? Tune in next week.
Wrong choice for no1 m8 The John smiths stadium is an architectural work of art...built in 1994 and still looks ultra modern Also home to the first team in English football to win a triple championship
Great stuff, it's interesting to note, that practically every team in the Championship, has played in the top-tier, English Premiership League (EPL) within the last decade or so, but the fans, they still love their club, whether they are in the EPL or not, sometimes taking longer than expected to climb back to the "first grade", with teams like Leeds United having been successful for a while, then dropping, and a decade and a half later, clawing their way back, THIS IS FOOTBALL, THIS IS "COMPETITION", THIS IS A "CONTEST", THIS IS SPORT, of course, so long they are playing "genuinely", and not play-acting.
Why are the photos of Backpool's stadium copyrighted to Swansea, and those of Swansea's stadium copyrighted to Blackpool? Does each club own the stock photos of the others ground? Let the truth be known......
TBH having watched matches at the DW I can say its quite poor for a "modern" stadium. The concourses are way to sterile and cramped. the bars are to small and understaffed. The bowl feels very much a just do it thing. For both football and rugby it feels very lacking in atmosphere. The away end is one of the largest in the league at a full capacity of 5,400. You can really see where the newest stand at Deepdale PNE was ment to be bigger than it ended up being with the roof trusses and the side stantions. Could easy have been a 25-28k Stadium all in.
i think huddersfield was your number one really as the west brom stadium looks so similar to others from lower down to me, surprised as i am to see us near the top, can't see us being topped based on your opinions, maybe its cos we're a shit team or our stadium is a copycat of reebok stadium and copied by brighton if i remember right
Luton stadium shouldn`t be ranked last. It has charm and his own identity. Some stadiums look boring, like the one in Middlesbrough. A modern cookie cutter stadium like many other....
I know it’s your opinion Some were questionable 😂 Middlesbrough have the second biggest capacity stadium in the league Swansea is in wales too For Coventry the rugby team don’t play there anymore Do league one and league two Nice video
Are you fucking kidding? Kenilworth Road is known for its experience. The atmosphere is famous for its hostility and fans and reporters love going to Kenilworth Road. Love your stadium uploads but this you’ve got wrong. It’s not top except to Luton fans but it’s defo not bottom.
Nothing about features, locations, or atmosphere. "i like the name of this one, dont like this one as it has a betting site attached to it, its was it is on the side of the tin". If anything these poor and irrelevant rankings want me to visit each one and give a proper rating. weak sauce.
Luton has the only charming stadium and unique location in town. Better than any new building on the Autobahn. Similar to Millwall. The ranking cannot be understood. Rotherham and Hull are boring.
Thinking a bit about what other rankings are out there ‘Wide’ , What about events you would like to see in what stadium For example The Old Firm and the Old Farm games- swap the venues round but don’t tell the fans 🤔 An MLB game at the MCG and using all the field size imagine needing to hit 575 feet for a hr The State of Origin games in the UK naturally the Blues would play at Cardiff Arms Park and the Maroons would play their game in England as up until recently we were a Queensland ! An NBA game at Arthur Ashe ? The Calcutta cup game in Eden Gardens Calcutta obs! The South Sydney Rabbitohs v The Sydney Roosters in Madison Square Garden seconds out round 1 🤕 🥊 Just a few to get you started
Ah, the English can afford to call Kenilworth the best one, while in the comfort of their other top quality stadiums, all this while supporters in other countries only dream of such a high number of "bland" stadiums.
Surely the narrator's first trip into Wales was into Swansea? I like the stadiums tucked into victorian streets, rather than the out of town places, but the Sunderland stadium is obviously the best.

Amazing Video! Can you do the WCC arenas next?
Can you do national league north and south stadiums please
You should do the three CHL leagues (OHL, WHL, and WMJHL) the ECHL and the SHL
Nice to see Rotherham at no6. Lovely little ground and fantastic atmosphere but I would personally have put Sunderland much higher, again lovely ground and great atmosphere.
I've been to both Riverside Stadium and Stadium of Light, good grounds.
The cbs ain’t owned by a rugby club anymore. It was sold in around November and bought by Mike Ashley former Newcastle owner
SoL at 7th, you must be having a laugh!
the CBS Arena is no longer owned by waps rfc, its now owned by former newcastle owner mike ashley's fraser group
didn't expect the Coventry stadium to get too high but i think it should be noted that Wasps Rugby ni longer owns the ground. it is now owned by of all people Mike Ashley.
You'll be able to add neverton's new stadium next season 😜👍
New York Stadium.... should rank it AFTER the pitch gets flooded and away fans miss out on a crucial 1=0 lead as a result
excellent! can you do league 1 eventually?
Wasps Rugby went bust, and the stadium was sold, but not to Coventry City. The demise of the rugby club also saw the demise of the netball team.
in honor of baseball season starting again would you please rank mlb stadiums in the future
When I clicked on the video I knew we would be last

Kenilworth road is a great stadium, has tones of character , a dying breed in the current game
Wigan is known for its kebabs 🤣🤣🤣 nooo Wigan is known for its pies 🥧 and a Wigan kebab is a pie in a bap 😃 😃
CBS Arena is no longer owned by a rugby club...they went bust and it's now owned by Mike Ashley
And no one local calls it the cbs arena.
honestly cant believe you wouldn't have the stadium of light number 1 lol
As someone who’s been to all the stadiums in this division. This list is miles off.
Thanks for the video. Some interesting rankings! The away stand at Blackpool is absolutely disgusting. Lack of turnstiles and toilets. The sea guls love it though.
Im not a luton fan but when i see there ground last i knew this guy knows nothing about football and what makes a ground good
Definitely a secret mag you! How can you put the stadium of light 7th? It’s by far the best stadium in the league 😂
It's the biggest yeah but aesthetically it's boring to look at.

Ranking Cardiff higher than Swansea, and not acknowledging Swansea is in Wales. They are going to be seething,
No way is this real surely the CBS down that far and WBA top,come on man 😂
this list is so badly ranked
He's probably never been to England before so he is just judging off pictures.
Luton stadium shouldn`t be ranked last. It has charm and his own identity. Some stadiums look boring, like the one in Middlesbrough. A modern cookie cutter stadium like many other....
once luton town gets promoted to the PL
It’ll be the worse stadium in PL 💀
guy gets millwall wrong twice haha the stadium was built in the 90s not 80s and even got the song wrong
Sunderland stadium is best in championship
Been few times and always a top day out
What no mention of the Hawthorns being the highest ground above sea level 😂
I know it’s your opinion
Some were questionable 😂
Middlesbrough have the second biggest capacity stadium in the league
Swansea is in wales too
For Coventry the rugby team don’t play there anymore
Do league one and league two

I have a feeling that alot of the clips used where recorded time ago. Plus Not recorded in order either. So continuity is out the window as per usual.

The Hawthorns. Great. Witnessed man his young son ejected by Police. Both sets of fans WBA and PNE booed. Great video.
I feel offended by my clubs rank I’m a stoke fan and I think our stadium should be ranked higher
It would be interesting to factor in the ownership of the ground. If the club doesn't own it, is it really their ground?
When you said Cardiff City stadium. You made a mistake. You said this was the first entry from Wales. Swansea City are also Welsh
Surely the narrator's first trip into Wales was into Swansea? I like the stadiums tucked into victorian streets, rather than the out of town places, but the Sunderland stadium is obviously the best.
DW Stadium is also quite criticised as a rugby league stadium. It's about twice the size it needs to be.
The John Smith's is called as such because it's sponsored by an brewery called John Smith's.
