  • This week we're taking a look at what people consider THE WORST football stadiums in England as we head to Kenilworth Road for Luton Town vs QPR ⚽️ The Kenny has come under a lot of criticism amongst RUclipsrs, especially last season when it was a Premier League stadium BUT... in my opinion the fan atmosphere is what MAKES a football ground and despite a disappointing start to the season and a 2-1 loss today... Luton Town show exactly why we should CHERISH these old school football stadiums, rather than strive for those "soul-less bowls" so many football clubs are moving to 🏟️

    Great video 👍Was in the away end on Friday, as a QPR fan , love Kenilworth Road, proper old school, with proper fans not tourists, more atmosphere than modern stadium three times its size, will be very sad to see it go, one of the best away days for a genuine football fan.

    Kenilworth road is actually one of my favorite grounds i love the unique smaller more old school atmosphere comapred to the generic newer stadiums premier league teams have and like the older gentlemen said its the atmosphere that makes the difference

    It it a football stadium where football lovers and fans goes. Not a modern theatre with hundreds of luxury boxes, with no emotions... beacuse it is so steril. Kenilworth Road stadium is one of the last, one of the best.
    Not a Luton FC fan, but I love real football, with less foreign footballers... respect for Luton.
    Best regards

    If you like all your stadiums modernised and without any character then you’ll think this is a terrible ground, that’s OK if that’s your opinion. For me it’s one of the best in the country, along with the likes of Grimsby, Crewe, Stockport, Everton (until they move unfortunately), QPR etc, the ones that have character and history.

Not slagging them just saying they extra fans is a suits way of making money - PS: Not too sure about the blue adidas kit in front of camera

    English Football or England's premiership? Hundreds of grounds with worse facilities if that's the criteria. Some of the infamous poor stadiums have been either replaced with new. EG, Northampton or stadiums like Halifax or Rochdale who have been brought up to standard.

    Unique, very much. I think Luton Town need to move though.
    My team (Portsmouth) have Frogmore Road leading up to the ground and the ticket office (in the 90s) was on the corner of a street but Kenilworth Road stadium is insane.
    Gillingham's Priestfield reminds me of Fratton Park. Surrounded be houses.

    • @RysFootyParadise

      ​@danabrahams7892 club bought a lot of property around the ground in recent years. The ticket office and shop are in Rodney Road, behind the North Stand. The old ticket office used to be a pub and has been used for all sorts. Btw, lots of improvements in the Milton End for away fans including safe standing and new toilets and concession stands. A lot of work has been done around the old stands to keep them open and kept the character at the same time. Love our ground, just want the North Stand rebuilding into the huge space behind it.

    I'm all for retro style stadiums but come on! I first went there in 70's and it hasn't changed that much since.....it was awful then!
    Nostalgia is often an excuse for regret and I'm sorry but if Luton want to progress the sooner they move the better.
    Ken' Rd reminds me of the old Oxford, Shrewsbury or even the Baseball Ground. Guess what? They all moved on years ago.
    The only positive thing I can say, having visited the stadium many times is that it is better than West Ham's ground - which tops my list of awful stadia.

    What baffles me about the ground is the care on the outside of stadium .as it's owned by the council and probably there responsible for the outside upkeep well get your people down to Kenilworth road with a dozen tins of paint and get to work in sprucing it up the rent money you get of Luton should cover the paint or are you happy that it looks like the rest of bury park and you could put barriers up to stop the ability for the away supporters having that view of the neibours
