I'll go with Ayresome Park to start with which was much more characteristic and interesting than Boro's new ground. Went to the old ground half a dozen times and it just felt like a proper traditional football ground where the great game should be played. In comparison the Riverside is a soulless shell in the mould of many other new stadiums. |  |

Loads I could mention but can I add the Ricoh Arena in comparison to Hughfield Road - chalk and cheese in terms of stadiums. One is just a hole the other was a decent ground IMHO | |

Looking forward to seeing Chesterfield's new ground because let's face it, it can't be any worse than Saltergate!! | |

Can I throw in Wembley. I know it was a urinal at times but the new one is like a sanitised urinal! | |

Can we have redeveloped grounds? Dumpdale is awful now. It always was, but at least the old one had character  |  |

The problem is defining what was 'better' but I'd agree that Ayresome Park was a crap ground and needed pulling down-it was falling down when I last visited it.
Sunderlands is the same-I quite liked that this season- but others havent been an improvement-like Leicester which was fun at Filbert Street.
I used to like Burnden Park and Maine Road which included the walk from the station/coach parks,and Leeds Road,Huddersfield.Not sure they've become better as such but there was plenty of atmosphere there particularly when we took the full allocation.
I know that Manure's isnt a new ground but when the old scoreboard end was around that took some beating for atmosphere-especially when we scored the winner in the last minute

Got to agree with some of these - especially Coventry - the thought of going down the M6 to that place hardly fills me with League One delight!! | |
