The Highest and Lowest Stadiums (England and Wales)

Recommended Posts

We’re lowest I think. No idea about highest although it’ll be somewhere windy I guess, that would make me think Stoke or West Brom from bitterly cold experiences.

Well done on that guess, I was just thinking of the Ted Moult adverts in the 80s. We’re joint 5th lowest with our dear neighbours.

Must be nice for them to look at a table where they’re ‘on our level’ 😁

Keiran is probably being sensible with a coastal team, clearly going to be close to sea level. I assumed that the flatness of Norfolk would have us close

Best start thinking about building some stilts, as we'll be first to go then when the world fails to meet any of these climate change targets!

Haven’t looked this up but I always thought the highest was Hawthorns (WBA) although Oldham is too and that Carrow Rd, at 1 meter above sea level is the lowest. Yeah it is down to Carra Rud!
 

Some of the Newer stadiums like Riverside (Boro)  must be low and now Everton are actually building a great new Stadium in the docks, on the Mersey!

I seem to recall West Brom is the highest 

That Cyrille Regis goal against us in the FA Cup should have been ruled out on the basis the air is thinner at high altitudes and the ball goes through quicker...🤓

This would've been my guess.

Apparently WBA is the highest. Also has the best curry beforehand. 

Oldham is definitely the coldest😂

1. The Villa Balti pie takes some beating 

2. went to Oldham once . It rained so hard on the tin roof that you couldn’t  hear the bloke speak who stood next to you. Never been back.

That’s a fair call Purple and also our team hadn’t acclimatised for long enough, should have been there at least a week before!

I’ve got a feeling it’s a Trivial Pursuit question? 

Would be a good one to have in there. I think it was something like Goal.com I saw it being mentioned back in the day.

Surprising, I’d assumed it would be somewhere in North Wales. If we’re talking stadiums in the FA pyramid.
 

Presumably you’re thinking of the 92 though,  going by the answers above

Especially since that stand along one side of the pitch has been removed. The wind whips right in from the pennines. Horrible away game, but I'm 2 wins from 2 there, so it's probably my most successful away ground!

Correct on both. 

Grimsby aren’t one of the 92 though. How far down the pyramid should people go?
