The Mail Bag

Atmosphere

In an attempt to take people's minds off all the Transfer nonsense flying about, I would like to pose the following question:

Other than Goodsion Park, which stadium in England do you think generates the best atmosphere and why?

My own favourie has always been White Hart Lane, a ground we have had scant success at in recent times (until last August of course ) - a fact that is surely linked to the intimidating atmosphere that is often generated there by some very partisan fans and a very enclosed arena.

My personal favourite visit, mind you, was an Everton victory - 2-1 on a Wednesday night in April 1985. Over 48,000 there with around 10,000 from Everton packed in the entire Park Lane end, both terrace and seats. An awesome atmosphere! We even witnessed Andy Gray score from 20 yards for the only time in history as the Top of the table Blue Boys sank second placed Spurs' hopes of catching us. Happy Days!

And Southall made a blinding save from Falco as we won 2-1. Aah yes, wonderful memories.

In answer to your question,the Stadium of Light rocked last year and we won 1-0 which proves that even bowls can have atmosphers if the supporters are as passionate as the Mackems. There were only 30,000 in the stadium - it must be one hell of an atmosphere when there’s a full 48,000 capacity

I actually believe Goodison Park has become quite dull and quiet than recent years. All have i lost my hearing after 13 years of my 25?
