Grounds with the Best or worst Atmosphere

[Yakattack]

A few weeks ago I visited Barnsleys Oakwell ground and was shocked by the complete lack of atmosphere it was as bad as the Reebok (and thats saying something) So what Grounds have the worst and Best ??

The Emirates is a joke, I begrudgingly take my son there (I'm a Spurs fan, he's a gooner)when we get given tickets from a season ticket holder who's away on business.
The stadium is only full 2 minutes before kick off, it empties 5 mins before half time, fills up again 10 minutes after the restart, the singing is dire, I think they only have about 4 songs and one of those is about Spurs.

10 minutes before the end you'd think there was a fire alarm gone off judging by the mass exodus.
The away fans put them to shame every game.

On a plus note, the beer is free at half time

The atmosphere at the so-called Amex is quite jolly, but I actually rather liked it at Withdean.

The answer to both questions could be Ibrox.

On a big European night there is nowhere to touch it and you can bearly hear yourself think, and I've been in almost every ground in Britain, yet on routine league business you can sometimes hear a pin drop. Like the Emirates there are also a lot of "Eighty minute loyal" fans who head off when games are delicately poised. I often wonder do the same people go to the pictures and leave ten minutes before the end?

Did someone say free beer?

St James' Park, no question about it.

Very true , Mark
The Riverside ( Middlesborough ) is extemely dull IMO

Without doubt Villa Park.

I have experienced St James' just once for a league game, against Everton quite a few years ago when I was down there to do the Great North Run, and it was abysmal. However, I was there for a pre-season tournament with Rangers, Sporting Lisbon and Feyenoord, and it was a great occasion. All grounds can vary wildly.
