The Grove!
with experience of old wembley i can tell you that most grounds are better than that was

not been to the new one yet, but you can tell from the telly that it's not as good as the grove.

Wembley is a great stadium, big 90,000 seater and looks amazing but it's so hard to get to and from which spoils it.

I love the Grove i think it's a great looking stadium and i don't think it's to big 60,000 seats seems a resonable size, also the space around the stadium makes it a more enjoyable experiance.

not to mention the Grove is the new home of Football :wink: :lol:

For me the Grove wins :D 8)

The Grove.

You can see both from the London Eye you know.

Couldn't see Stamford Bridge though

For me it's the Grove as i can call it home at this point
Been Wembley 5 times now (5 times the old one as well) but the seats are much better than Wembley
The view however i can't really say much as i haven't sat much at the top level at the Grove but with Wembley i have only ever sat on the top tier which is a good view due to the roof not being in the way
The transport at Wembley is crap esp after the game with me waiting half an hour on my own for a train to only stop at Fincley Road & Baker Street, with Arsenal it is alot more nearer as i obs don't live too far in N4 :wink:
Some people i hear off suffer with nose bleeds at our stadiums let along Wembley which is a very tall stadium & takes forever getting up & down off
I sit with the same people every week seeing the same people every week on & off the pitch (the fans i mean there) but with Wembley i'd only ever go there for England matches where i'm next to some Moany Manc
Grove the winner as i said

havent been to Wembley but from the views I've seen, it just looks like a very big football stadium...there's no life there..the build is nothing special either..

The Grove however is stunning to look at, inside and out..in a better area for transport links, and I love the design..no sign of stupid arches, just pure class..

in case you havent guessed my vote goes to The Grove..

I went on one & want to go on one again
They don't really give you much time to broswer at certain places in my view & the museum needs more to offer in there being £6 for adults :shock:, as someone said the trophies etc etc should be moved on into there
I've put myself down for a Wembley tour & hope to be one of the first to tour there but it don't look all that special unlike the Grove which is up & coming
