Although not as crazy as I would've imagined, the fans are chanting the whole match, and the atmosphere is great.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've watched one match at the New Den, in 2011 - it was half full which was a shock, and might be the reason why it only gets 4 stars. I'd heard about the rabid, evil Millwall fans, and seen them so many times away from home, and once in their old stadium as a younger lad. Not the case on the day I was here, but then the opponent was a lowly and unexciting adversary. It's a good stadium though, not as expensive as some of the others in London, by a long shot. I enjoyed my day, I was covered from the rain by the stands, I didn't get stabbed (people used to say that's what happened at Millwall games), and altogether I found it a lot more pleasant and also underwhelming than expected. I'll try it again for a much bigger game, one of these days... to see what the fuss is really about. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** They're one of my least fave teams, and even though this stadium was used in Dream Team as the home of Harchester United, it's still not anything special to me with open-ended sides and such. It creates an intimidating atmosphere of course. It was built in 92 for 16 mil, and is the pride of South East London, with a capacity of around 20k. As you can see from the pictures, it's absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere is intense, but it would be better if it filled in the corners.

First-Hand Experience: I've seen Millwall play a couple of times as a kid and only once as an adult. I've been to both the new and old dens and I have to say the new one is more impressive. The team... well in terms of how intense and rabid the fans are, they score a 5. But in terms of the racism and fascism elements and their violence and hooliganism issues, they score a 1. So it balances out to a 3. They're one of my least fave teams, and even though this stadium was used in Dream Team as the home of Harchester United, it's still not anything special to me with open-ended sides and such.

You get the feeling that the pool has suffered in order for the authorities to be able to fit more facilities into the one site. It's only this latter point that prevented me from giving the site 4 stars.

I decided to buy the tickets as an early birthday gift to him. I'm not a sports fan whatsoever, but had such a fun experience due to the electric atmosphere of the crowd chanting and singing for their teams. The stand overhang covered the seats so would provide shelter in inclement weather. I really liked that feature given that I am finicky about the weather. The concession stand on the other hand left a lot to be desired. They were out of hot dogs so I had to settle for their unappealing beef pie and sausage roll. I could not finish the sausage roll, it was that bad. My hubby managed to finish the beef pie only because he was starving. Helpful Tip: Beers are not allowed or sold in the seats.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've actually only ben to this stadium 3 times (or about 10 if you count visiting the outside of it). It's absolutely tiny inside! You'd never imagine it's a Premier League stadium. It is pretty modern and enjoyable on the inside though. The rich owners have jazzed it up and made it like a posh little box. The crowd is absolutely intense and right on top of the field and I always feel like part of the action when I'm in here. Definitely one of the better stadiums, but the prices and the small size are the reason it's a 4. I've been to every significant stadium in UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans).

Also, when back in the UK I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** It's a little rich club with a little rabid stadium in West London. I can't give this stadium less than a 4 because it's so loud and intense and the crowd are right on top of the players, but there's no way such a tiny stadium can get a 5 for a club that should really have a bigger and grander stadium. It looks like they won't be in the Prem much longer anyway (they never usually are), but if the club won't be missed (too many London clubs, esp West London), then the stadium will and its atmosphere too. It's in White City, a great part of London that is maybe a little racially monotonous. It's just near Shepherd's Bush. I think maybe he should shave it off. It opened in 1904, and Fulham briefly played here in the 00s.

In the spring of 2002, when I was doing a semester abroad in London, I did a work study (internship) at QPR. At the time, they were in the Second Division (third tier). I had hear of QPR but didn't know much about the club. But my time there made me a fan and I'm proud to be a supporter of the R's. Now that they're back in the top flight, I had a perfect excuse to head back over the pond for a visit and to take in a Premiership match. Loftus Road Stadium is definitely a throw-back to the more modest days of the sport. Compared to Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium (review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-emirates-stadium-london#hrid:nvZxRYSY_mKiQndnHx2iQw), Loftus Road is like a backyard shed. It's old, not at all modern, and for a Premier League ground, quite small. But it also has immense character, is very intimate, and incredibly approachable. One of the great things about the smaller clubs is how accessible the players are as well. If you get to Loftus Road early you can catch many of the players walking from the player parking lot into the stadium, and most of them are happy to stop to sign an autograph or snap a quick photo with you. Try doing that at Manchester United or Chelsea! QPR is a fantastic little club with an incredible history. Hopefully they'll be in the top flight for years to come. Which means I better start saving up now for what I hope can be an annual pilgrimage.

Review #6666! Gayle…read moreand I took in a Premier League match between Fulham and Manchester City last Saturday at Craven Cottage. I was a pleasant walk (mostly in a nice park) to the stadium from the Putney Bridge Tube station and an easy exit from the stands and back to the London Underground. Craven Cottage has been the home of Fulham F.C. since 1896. My Charlton friend tells me that you used to be able to watch ships pass by on the Thames while watching the match. But with foreign ownership and revenue enhancement beckoning, the new (and not yet completed), Riverside stand now blocks that view and kind of stands out vs. the rustic features of the original stadium. Our seats were flip down and a little tight, but no complaints. A London friend of ours advised that we should have gone to see his team (Charlton - League 1), but at a premium over face value, I wanted the the Premier League experience at least once. We sat in Section E (Row J) in the Johnny Haynes Stand. The view of the pitch was decent, even with a pole partially blocking the view. However, we were too high to see the electronic scoreboard on one end of the field. The TV screen in our section helped. We of course rooted for the home team and hoped that Fulham FC would hang in there. But alas, the vastly superior Man City team easily defeated the home team by the score of 4-0. A friend of mine in California (a Man City fan) was up early to watch the match and we exchanged observations throughout the match. He of course was thrilled. As I was basically a tourist here (among others in the stands), I was only a bit disappointed. As football matches can get a bit rowdy, alcohol is not allowed in the stands and beer sales are cut off early. On that note, Gayle and I enjoyed a burger and a pint under the grandstand with a couple dozen "friends". I also came away with a Fulham scarf for a souvenir, and later my brother's note that players Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson are American. At the time of this review, Fulham was sitting in the lower half of the Premier League table. They've been here for 2 years after being promoted from the Championship League, with maybe some previous relegation. Maybe next year will show have them move up a bit. Come On Fulham! And thank you Gayle for indulging me!

It's a…read morepretty spectacular Valley I have to say, and can accommodate thousands. 27,000 to be exact, actually. Once upon a time, 75k could squeeze in here and it was Europe's biggest league stadium, but Charlton underachieved so it fell into disrepair. Charlton even had to share Selhurst Park for ages while the Valley was renovated. Luckily three sides of it are complete now and it's an absolutely magnificent venue in the heart of SE London. It just needs one more stand to be "done up" and then it'll be finished, and one of the best grounds in London and the country. But it's already pretty fantastic. First-Hand Experience: Yelp asked me to include more information about my personal experience at this stadium, so here it is. I've been to the Valley twice (I think), once on my 2014 stadium tour of England (and I took pix), and once to watch a game when I was younger (Oxford United away). Lovely stadium indeed. I've been to virtually every significant stadium in the UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born and raised in England, I followed Oxford United (my hometown team) to many stadiums all over the country at away games, and later followed Liverpool (my fave team) around.

Also, when I'm back in the UK I plan to take more pictures, and add more stadiums too! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** There is a very romantic story about how the stadium was built: The club found an abandoned sand and chalk pit in Charlton, but did not have sufficient funds to fully develop the site. An army of volunteer Charlton supporters dug out a massive pit for the pitch, and used the soil from the excavation to build up the sides. The ground's name most likely comes from its original valley-like appearance. The club played its first game at the ground before any seats, or even terraces, were installed; there was simply a roped-off pitch with the crowd standing or sitting on the adjoining earthworks. The unique circumstances of the ground's initial construction led to an unusually intense bond between the club's supporters and the site that exists to this day. How romantic is that?
