For one thing Glanford Park is pretty unique amongst new stadiums because it has a standing terrace. It generates a decent atmosphere too because the stands are tight to the pitch and it has no open corners. New stadiums have to have a wide area between the stands and pitch which again kills the atmosphere. Yes it's let down by restricted views and cramped seating but it's far from the worst.You might want to join the campaign to keep Scunny standing.http://www.fsf.org.uk/keepScunthorpestanding/
I can see why you might nominate the Keepmoat... I don't think it's the worst though.I don't like that place at Huddersfield. The stadium may look nice, in a modernist style from a distance but the design doesn't work. Those wide open corners let all the atmosphere out and all the weather in.The Deva stadium is little more than a group of bus shelters.But I think the worst one may well be that white elephant up in Darlo, which s completely inappropriate for the club.EDIT: The Don Valley is completely useless for football too but I think Rotherham have to be out of there soon.

twickenhamsoulless breezeblock heaven!
I can see why the Galpharm is nominated, though personally I don't think it is the worst at all. The major flaw in the design of it is the fact that the \"away\" concourse is actually uncovered and because the ground is basically located at the bottom of a hill, when the weather is bad in winter, it feels more cold inside the stadium than what it does in other parts of the town. The fact that the stadium consists of four seperate stands doesn't help this problem either.
Falkirks new one, soulless with (when i went) only one stand, and none of the character of the old ground, brockville I think.

They moved from a perfectly normal ground in the centre of town, to a one-sided ground that overlooks a disused power station. Horrible place.
Definately the keepmoat, its a horrible souless warehouse. Hate the place
Keepmoat! (Unfortunately)
