British fans support their teams in a very different way to those from other parts of the continent.
Yet the British have plenty of historic stadiums filled with passionate fans.
We focus on the 10 facilities where home fans create the best atmosphere:
10. City Ground, Nottingham Forest
Forrest went through a full palette of highs and lows. The team became European champions in consecutive years in 1979 and 1980, then in the first decade of the new century they reached the third echelon.
This turbulence has further strengthened the bonds between the club and its fans and Nottingham fans are making life difficult for visiting teams.
9. Turf Moor, Burnley
Burnley is another club that has experienced a lot on its back. One of the founding members of the Football League, it is among only five clubs to have won all four professional divisions.
The city of Burnley has a population of less than 80,000 people, but during their Premier League seasons the eponymous team regularly enjoyed a support of 20,000 at Turf Moor.
The fans are most looking forward to the East Lancashire derby against Blackburn Rovers.
8. Molineux, Wolverhampton
Like Burnley, Wolves are also one of five clubs to have won all four professional divisions in the English football pyramid and their supporters have seen it all.
Wolves’ proximity to Birmingham ensures regular regional clashes with the likes of Aston Villa and Birmingham, but the fiercest derbies are with West Bromwich Albion. Often the atmosphere of “Molineux” is fiery, and against the “thrushes” – unique.
7. Du Den, Millwall
Visits to “Da Den” are a dangerous undertaking for the visiting agitators. Millwall are notorious for their hooligans who still cause trouble to this day.
The motto of the team’s fans “No one likes us, but we don’t care” says a lot.
It’s at its hottest when Millwall face West Ham, Charlton and Crystal Palace from London clubs, as well as Leeds from the country.
6. Goodison Park, Everton
Everton will soon be expanding into a new stadium and the fans’ hopes are that the atmosphere will be the same as at Goodison.
The Caramels’ current woes do not change the fact that they enjoy one of the best stands in British football.
5. Elland Road, Leeds
Another legendary facility with legendary fans. Leeds have suffered a lot in the new century and are now not in the elite again, but boast a fanbase few teams have on the Island. The decibels at Elland Road during big games are remarkable.
4. “Ibrox”, Rangers
No British giant has experienced such a dramatic downfall as the one that befell Gers.
In 2012, the team were relegated to the fourth tier and worked their way back up to be reunited with old foes Celtic.
The atmosphere during the Old Firm is truly remarkable.
3. St. James’s Park, Newcastle
Newcastle’s return to the Champions League last season was a huge event for Newcastle fans, but they don’t give up on their team even in the toughest of times.
Neither opponent is welcome at St James’s Park, yet the most hostile atmosphere is in the North East derbies against Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
2. “Celtic Park”, Celtic
The magnificent Celtic stadium with a capacity of 60,000 seats is spectacular not only because of its scale, but because of the special atmosphere created by the fans of the “Clovers”.
Be it in the derby with Rangers or another European night – the experience at “Celtic Park” is unforgettable.
1. “Anfield”, Liverpool
Anfield is one of the most famous stadiums in world football because of its famous atmosphere, especially on European evenings.
It has happened that the fans of the “Reds” have not been so impressive, but when they are on a fighting foot, the legs of the opponents tremble.
Performing You’ll Never Walk Alone before matches is something every football fan would love to experience live. No matter if he likes Liverpool or not.
