just to move away from thread hi-jacking (sorry Phil) what grounds do you think have produced some of the best atmospheres?

I personally thought Gay Meadow was great for racket mekking, also in years gone by I always liked that crappy little tin shack at Chorley. Twenty of us huddled underneath that used to make some real noise.

Hopefully soon we can add the FES to the list but until we get some echo amplifying tin over our heads it wouldn't be 'up there'
 
Bury's Gigg Lane. Atmosphere was great, particularly in the last 5 minutes. All the Stanley fans were in full voice.
 
Always liked Christie Park, singing was always non-stop for the full 90 (& usually 10 minutes afterwards!)

Haven't been able to get to many away trips this season but the atmosphere at Rochdale was great - no home fans needed!

Yeh that was particulary a great atmosphere indeed - party on as stanley on as cart on hehehehehe:D

But ........... despite the lack of rooFFFFF at the FES - to me especially last few games triggered with torguay at home & importantly last saturday - it would be really frightening with a roof on:D hehehehe
 
That Bury match was the first stanley match i'd been to so will agree with bt lawson.

You cant beat the millenium stadium with the roof closed though.

After that it must be Turf Moor for atmosphere!
 
Have to say Wembly [the new one] has a great atmosphere indeed, noise, accoustics & mexican waves going full circle hehehehehe :thumbsup:

Why am i brave? You cant reach out through the computer and strangle me can you? Honestly though ive been to sheffield wednesday, turf moor, gigg lane, ewood park and the millenium stadium for matches. And you cant beat Turf Moor when its Burnley vs Blackburn!!! Especially when you go with your bro who is a rovers supporter and you go in the burnley end where all the nutters are and rovers score and your bro forgets where he is until hes stood up with his arms in the air and then realises where he is and ends up shouting out something totally different to what he wanted to say!!! :D :D :D

:rofl38: least u have taste hehehehehehe i wanted to go to that match an all cos my dad & bro like rovers[yak] lol im going next one hehehehehe as long as stanley aint at home:D
 
Despite my delight at certain posts in this thread I susupect Macca was on about grounds where Stanley have been recently :)
 
correct lancsdave, otherwise you can't say better than Anfield on a European night or even the San Siro when its full.

But yeah the point of the post was grounds we've played at and may again. I thought Gay Meadow was built for noise but I suspect the new ground (Sexually Disorientated Meadow?) won't be a patch on it. I also like to think that somewhere along the lines of planning for new bits to put on our ground they will make allowances for noise amplification.

Any sponsors want to clad the breeze block wall with some tin?

I was born in Bury so know Gigg well. What disappopinted me was the music that blasted out when the Shakers scored, completely drowning their fans. It must be awful for the players not to hear their supporters cheering them on when they score. At least we were able to give Stanley a proper cheer when Gary and Rommy scored.
 
possably got to be BAMBER BRIDGE F.C. s ground, a great little covered away end for plenty of noise and a nice standing area right next to the club house,and stanley fans always filled it
 
in fairness to the Bamber Bridge reference, some of my best memories come from grounds like that. Few people who were there will forget Leek Town away on the first day of the season in the mid nineties. A coach load us nicking all the beer garden umbrellas before the game from the pub on the corner, the coach driver taking them back, 30 people huddled under a tiny 7' high tin roof and doing possibly our first ever .......s' red and white army unbroken for the entire second half, followed by being chased up the road by some locals for nicking the white ball of the pool table and one of the corner flags. Cracking atmosphere at that game, the trouble in them days was that there was only ever us singing, home fans very rarely made any sort of noise other than grumbling (hence the Emmerdale theme tune whenever in Yorkshire)
