Super MILLWALL from the Den…read more Had a fantastic time. Going into this I always heard about MILLWALL being one of the grittiest teams in England and having I famous fans. Although not as crazy as I would've imagined, the fans are chanting the whole match, and the atmosphere is great. Stadium isn't as nice as others in the area but there is a distinct local and close-knit feel about the club which is quite nice PRO TIP: Go to box 19 for an authentic MILLWALL experience

A lot of people liked Dirty Den, but not many people would want to see The Nude Den, so I'm not…read moresure why Millwall decided to go there permanently. 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.

If you want to visit the Valley, I'll have a word with my gf and we'll see what she can do. 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. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from personal experience at these stadiums from multiple visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited these stadiums then, also. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in the UK for 3 months, I visited all of the stadiums as I travelled around the country. I have pictures of many of them which I will post in future. 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?

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!

I loved watching Palace play in their questionable clashing colours. Because of their amazing fans (especially the singing section) and of course the eagle and cheerleaders, I always love coming to Selhurst Park. One of my fave London teams for sure. Palace are a London team, which means I should hate them, and yet I don't. I just can't hate a team that have cheerleaders... I mean this is so un-English and so sexist, and yet, well, it's so original that I like it. Here's what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6N2vwe9Swk OK, I know it's silly, but it's so un-English. Anyway, Palace have without a doubt some of the best fan support in the English game. They're based in South Norwood, and are known as the Eagles. An Eagle actually flies around before the games. They were founded in 1905 which makes them relatively new. They play in blue and red stripes which looks weird. Like a colour clash. They have had some very famous managers including Venables. They once finished 3rd in the Prem, and once were FA Cup Runners Up (1990) but other than that have never done anything special at all. But this sort of makes them pathetic and sad and makes me feel sorry for them and so I'm giving them 5 stars for being different, innovative, and having perhaps the loudest crowd in football. They also have a women's team, so maybe the whole cheerleaders thing isn't all that sexist.

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.
