Top 5 Atmospheres In The Premier League – Anfield, Emirates, Villa Park Feature In The List

Share

Every league has the clubs that make great use of the theoretical ‘12th man’. Here are the Premier League’s 5 best.

P.S – This is completely the author’s opinion and is not based on any kind of stats.

Manchester City

It’s hard to find much wrong with the Etihad Stadium. It has all the luxury feel of a new stadium, has no obstructed views from the stands and is architecturally stunning. The only downside is the distance from the pitch to the stands, which isn’t ideal for fans and detracts slightly from the atmosphere of the match. Though the distance from the pitch doesn’t usually affect atmospheres in Europe, and this isn’t usually a problem at the Etihad either. The fans can usually be heard roaring in the big games, as the fans played a big part in City’s 4-1 mauling of city rivals Manchester United earlier this season.

Arsenal

The Emirates has so much going for it., it’s the second-newest stadium in the Premier League. It has the best facilities, bar none. Its pitch is, by far, the best in England and is one of the best in Europe. However, while it might be a joy to play at the Emirates, it’s not always a joy to watch a match there, as when Arsenal are down, you can’t help but experience an empty feeling in the crowd, a problem Highbury never had, though Arsenal have a pretty strong home record, so this problem is rarely more than a slight inconvenience.

Aston Villa

Villa Park has become a strange ground over the past few decades. While it was once one of the best stadiums in England, it’s now lost some of its glory. The view inside the stadium is quite bright and beautiful, but the outside has become quite dull. Yes, the Villan supporters are still some of the most raucous in the world. However, they surely long for the times when this ground had standing terraces. Not the place it used to be for Villa fans, as with Martin O’Neill at the helm, Aston Villa were one of the Premier League’s best clubs.

Newcastle United

One of the most intimidating places in English football, St. James’ Park is often a place where the opposition face having almost 50,000 Geordies screaming at them. St. James’ Park certainly has the volume, seating over 50,000 people in its hallowed grounds. The way those seats are dispersed is unique as well, as the home stands are slightly smaller compared to an away stand that stretches so high, and so far, it could have a supporter over 1,300 feet from the action. This gives the home supporters a distinct advantage, but also discourages attendance for those with acrophobia.

Liverpool

Anfield has been just one of those places that has a lot of stories to tell. Witnessing many of English football’s greatest events, Anfield has become a place where legends happen. Anfield has all the history and character one could want in a stadium, with numerous storied matches being played on that ground. Anfield’s not the biggest, newest or most beautiful stadium in the Premier League, but don’t tell that to the Liverpool fans who attend the matches and make the atmosphere special. Even as a rival supporter, one might find themselves getting chills at the crowd’s rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” at the start of each match.
