Still, this is a pretty darn impressive building, designed most thoroughly and actually one of the most eco-friendly ones you'll have the pleasure of visiting. Oh yes, this one's with the times. It's all about being green and watching your carbon footprint these days is it not, and this place has a conscience. Which is nice to know. On the waterfront of the River Mersey, you can't argue with its exceptional location and the whole BT thing is only part of it. The name stands for Arena and Convention Centre, and the Echo Arena forms part of this. It's actually one of the largest venues of its kind you'll find on these shores, and it has the utmost in technological wizardry at its forefront. Plus, that size. Well, we all find size impressive. I'm talking about BUILDINGS! If you do get the chance to catch something here, and I'm guessing that'll be a concert rather than a conference, do give it a go. It's mighty awe-inspiring and a great place to visit, plus you're still very central and the transport links are therefore rather sharp. Excellent.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I used to live just down the road from here in Chorlton Cum Hardy and my friend Derek used to live right by this ground. When I was a kid, I saw one game here, and then as an adult, one more in 2007. It's a fantastic, huge, intense, passionate crowd and ground, and I look forward to seeing another one. I hope they get back into the league very soon. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits.

Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** Easily the best and biggest stadium outside the Conference Premier and Football League, and hopefully it won't be for long. The once-mighty Stockport County play here, and were in League One for awhile. See my review on this team for more info. This stadium holds over 10k people and as lifelong fan Jonny says, has excellent pies. Unless they've ran out of them, in which case you'd have to ask, who ate all the pies? Probably the Geordies. Or Mike Ashley. Or both. This is a real stadium and a real English football experience, unlike the commercial corporate overpriced Manchester giants, so give it a go and see what you think of "the way it used to be." Yer avin a larf.

I have to give the hallowed turf and spiritual home of Stockport County a five star rating…read more I've been coming to Edgeley Park since I was a wee nipper and the only thing that's changed is a slightly more crumbled stadium, a scoreboard that makes its own mind up of when it's going to work and a slow and painful drop for the team through 5 divisions in 10 years. But - this is real football! If you can't afford to attend Utd or City each week and want to enjoy the pints in the pub beforehand, the banter on the terrace and the fact that you can meet and chat to the players before and after the game, then Edgeley Park is the place to be each Saturday. County are now in the Conference North, playing teams that get around 10-20% of the 4000 a week attendance we get, so the 2013-2014 season could be a good place to start for anyone up for a bit of glory hunting At £15 to get in and a little over £3 a pint (with local brewery Robinsons well stocked - just make sure you sit in the Cheadle End) it's a cost effective place to enjoy a few hours each week. The pies aren't half bad as well, as everyone who I meet for the first time tells me once I say I'm a County fan - just ask the Geordies I know who attend about 4 times a year and can't wait for their lunch time treat at half time!

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - other than sleeping here (I'll get to that in a minute), I've done a little tour of the stadium on a few occasions. Warrington was always a city that I skipped, and until I saw it with my own eyes, I had no clue that this city had such a fantastic stadium. It scores 4 only because they still have difficulty filling it, and I have yet to see a full match here, but it really is a credit to the city and a fantastic facility. I was last here in 2014.

Good times, good memories. It's a very imposing, grand, fantastic stadium for rugby, and it's just as amazing on the inside, it looks like it houses a lot more than 14k people. I would have given it a 5 if it was also for a football team, but I'm biased against Rugby ;) My concert in Warrington wasn't great, especially not the text messages I received later, but all that aside, this is an amazing stadium.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've only seen one game at Bloomfield and I was so impressed! Yes it should be a bit more filled in but these seaside people really know how to get intense and whip up a storm and sing over the winds whipping in off the Irish sea. They play in gold and it really shines in the sunlight (on the odd days it's sunny). The day I was there was very sunny and very windy. Blackpool won, and scored thrice, and each goal that went in was met with absolute sheer intensity. It was brilliant. That was 2014, although I visited this stadium and the nearby McDonalds for wifi... I would recommend everyone see a game here someday, when they can. Preferably in the Prem though.

It's really great on 3 sides, it just needs some work on the 4th side. Blackpool FC plays here, and it creates a really great atmosphere, not to mention the wind whipping in across the facility. And it's lovely and bright tangerine orange on the inside, and impressive shiny white on the outside. It opened in 1887 and can hold up to 17k.

Bloomfield Road is home to Blackpool FC, a League Two club which has recently seen troublesome…read moretimes in relegation over the past 5 years or so from the top division of English football down to League Two, the fourth highest league. The stadium was originally built in 1899 and since then it has had so much go on around the stadium, from hosting 2,223 Football League and 19 Premier League matches to the renovations earlier this decade. The record attendance at this ground in the modern era of all-seaters etc was actually against Manchester City, my favourite team which is pretty cool. The stadium takes its name from the road it is on, like most old stadiums, in this case it is Bloomfield Road. For a League two side, the stadium is quite impressive with a capacity now of close to 16,000 but it still lacks behind other teams in the league such as Notts County, Carlisle United and recently promoted Portsmouth. It is ranked 52 in terms of capacity in English stadiums The facilities around the stadium are pretty basic, there didn't seem to be a highly noticeable club shop or ticket office, it all seemed pretty basic. I haven't attended a game here and have just walked around the stadium complex a few times, it was okay and definitely not the nicest of stadiums I've been too and I've been to a grand number such as Wembley, Allianz Arena, Santiago Bernabau, Camp Nou and the Etihad. There is a lot of parking nearby but this is used for tourists for Blackpool too due to how central it is to the pier, around a mile away from main attractions which is priced £3.50 for 3 hours. Overall, this stadium is rather nice for a team like Bloomfield and it has so much history behind it, perhaps slightly rushed and spent more money on after they received that Premier League promotion, which was short lived and sadly now leaves the club behind the stadium in League two. This stadium however deserves nothing more than two stars as all it is is an above average league two ground or an average one by League One standards, which Blackpool look to get promoted too with a win at Wembley against Exeter, exactly a week to the day of me writing this review.
