Advantages: Compact ground, atmosphere

Disadvantages: Facilities, Capacity

Upton park is in the East end of London and home to West Ham Utd. Not one of the big London teams but this little ground still holds it's own with the big boys. It isn't one of these new stadiums being built which look like lego, it's a an old stadium with plenty of tradition.

I have been to Upton Park 3 times now as a Villa Fan. It doesn't look the best ground in the world and like a lot of big city teams is in a run down area. The stands are very close to the pitch which provides a good atmosphere and must be brilliant if you're a West Ham player as it could be quite intimidating for the opposition. That is probably why West Ham have a very good Home record.

The facilities are Ok, not the best in the world and not the worst. If you're an away fan you will have an excellent view behind one of the goals. I'd recommend to go to this ground sometime as it's a good little ground with a good atmosphere and before it is knocked down and replaced by the lego stadiums.
