Advantages: Perfect example of a great championship stadium with a great level of football! Disadvantages: Can get busy in eating area at half time
I am not personally a Southampton fan (and nor am I a Portsmouth fan), I actually support Southend United, but I recently moved down to this area and many of my friends support Southampton. Last Friday I was asked by my fiend, who is an avid Saints fan if I wanted to go with him to watch them play at home in a friendly against Celtic and so I said yes.
It was a great match and despite Celtic winning 2-0 the atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed myself.
I have now visited many different stadiums in my time from very small league 2 team grounds, some with standing sections and the great Nou Camp which I recently reviewed. However, I was pleasantly surprised by StMarys - the home ground for Southampton FC and really enjoyed my visit there.
Here are some facts:

Advantages: Lots of history, free to visit Disadvantages: None for me
I would hazard a guess that StMary's is probably the most common church name in England. Where I live in Sheffield there is a large parish church on the fringe of the city centre called StMary's and within a 5 mile radius of my house there are at least two other churches that bear that same name. About a decade ago I lived in a 16th century cottage under the shadow of another StMary's in Chesterfield which is more commonly known as The Crooked Spire, but the StMary's Church that I now see from my window is the one at Hansdworth. If you mention StMary's Church round here it can certainly be confusing exactly which church you are actually talking about.
Historically Handsworth was a small hamlet, which is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1089 although nowadays it has been absorbed into the sprawling suburbs of the city of Sheffield ...
Advantages: Fantastic architecture, lots of history, free to visit Disadvantages: Limited opening hours
Any visitor to the East Yorkshire resort of Scarborough will know that its castle dominates its skyline but in my opinion, The Church of StMary adjacent to the ruins of the castle is almost just as impressive. Perched high on top of the hillside, like its more famous neighbour, the castle, this church is a landmark that can be seen from miles around.
The Church of StMary is the largest church in the town and it is the parish church of Scarborough. It is a large church and a grand one by any standards, indeed it is as large and grand as many cathedrals that I know. From the outside the first thing that struck me when I visited here a few weeks ago was how neat and tidy its church yard was. This might have something to do with the fact that the graveyard is the burial place of the 19th century writer Anne Bronte and in recent years ...
