Writing from 8 time zones away - have only had the chance to see one Premiership type game in my life (Charity Shield 1979 - Reds 3 Arsenal 2) at Wembley.

Being a North American, I was only used to "manufactured" excitement where the PA announcer tells you to cheer to the organ grinder and do the wave etc - it was an amazing revelation to just listen at Wembley - constant thunderous noise for 2 hours - never forgotten it. Great result didn't hurt either - lovely goal by one K. Dalgliesh I still remember.

Now I am old and have some cash I would like to come to England and take in a few games. I have heard the atmosphere at most grounds has declined in the past 25 years - from what I can tell from satellite TV the Kop is still in good form - any advice on which other grounds would be worth a visit?

I might also add that yesterday's game had some of the best spells of football I have seen in a very long time - quite honestly the only two teams playing at that level are the reds and the russians. It was a treat to watch the Hammers eventually fold like a cheap tent.

An american writing about "reds" and "russians" as two separate things. How time have changed :laugh:

A smaller packed stadium is much better than a large one with loads of empty seats (North east)

It might also be worth checking out a lower league game. I have watched games in teh league of Ireland (low quality, poor teams but the support is 100% loyal and it is a different athmosphere)
