talkSPORT presenter who visited every stadium in English football had a shock top pick after choosing top 10
A top presenter who visited all 92 football stadiums in England has finally settled the debate over which is the best home ground in the country.
While football fans across the country love watching their teams competing each week while in the comfort of their homes, nothing quite lives up to seeing your side playing in person at their own ground.
Of course, rivalries across football are so strong that fans have long debated which team across the English pyramid has the best home stadium, which the likes of Anfield, Old Trafford and St James’ Park often in the debate.
But legendary talkSPORT presenter Adrian Durham finally settled the debate after he revealed his top 10 football stadiums in the English leagues after taking the time to complete the ’92’ challenge.
Back in September, Durham finally ticked off the last stadium across the English pyramid that he had yet to visit as he visited Fleetwood Town’s Highbury Stadium for their 2-2 draw with Morecambe.
Having now been to all 92 home grounds, the 55-year-old had no doubts when asked to name which was the best, and his answer may surprise you.
“I went to QPR v Crystal Palace in the League Cup and it reminded me how much I loved it,” began the 55-year-old as he declared Loftus Road his favourite.
“It’s in the middle of a housing estate in London. The corners are filled in, it’s tight to the pitch.
“I just absolutely love it. It’s another one where the atmosphere, when they’re doing well, is fantastic.
“That’s how a ground should be, right in the middle of a residential area. I love it.”
Queens Park Rangers have played their home games at Loftus Road for over a century having moved in to the stadium in 1917.

“I lived and worked in London so I went quite a lot and looking at parts of the outside of it, I would say its really a beauty to watch the fans and all,” added the talkSPORT regular.
“So you’re back there with Don Revie and Billy Bremner and all that.
For my third i would go for the newly built everton stadium,its so beautiful i know alot would disagree with this because its newly built but we all know the culture of the Toffees for the way its built its in my top three when its in full function next season i would be there again and maybe it could go to my top 1
