The Best UK Football Grounds

Friday, August 15th, 2008

(and a BView challenge)

Love it or hate it, there’s no avoiding it. The football season is underway again. The Premier league kicks off tomorrow afternoon, and then it’s the beautiful game, non-stop for nine months (at last).

From Arsenal to Yeovil, we’ve got all 92 English league teams, and the twelve members of the Scottish Premier listed on BView, so lets have your feedback. Which ground is most accommodating, which has the best atmosphere, and which will leave you feeling ripped off?

The current standings see FA Cup winners Portsmouth topping the BView ratings, Joel P reckons Fratton Park has a great atmosphere and excellent fans (if you can get a ticket). Close behind are Hartlepool United , Yeovil Town , and the mighty Arsenal. Manchester United and Chelsea just about sneak into the top 10.

Let’s hear what you’ve got to say, find the clubs you’ve visited and leave your review.

At BView we’ve got three Arsenal fans (myself included), a Spurs fan (there’s no hope for some people), and even a Manchester United fan. As we quite like our football we’ve setup a BView fantasy football league on the official Barclays Premier League site. We’re always looking for healthy competition, so we’re inviting you to setup a team and join our league. Just register on the site, choose a team name, and select your winning eleven (or let the site pick a random team for you). Once your team’s created, all you need to do is click on the “Join League” option and enter our league code (1029829-183770). We’ll come up with a prize for the overall league winner at the end of the season (unless you’re a Spurs fan). Bring it on.

If football really isn’t your thing, don’t forget that BView still wants to give you cake, or if Amazon vouchers are more your thing, check out the August rewards scheme.

Get in touch if you’ve got any questions.

More content than you can shake a stick at…

..even a really big one.

It’s been a busy fortnight for BView, we’ve added well over 1,000 new users, and thousands of reviews (Nearly 10,000 at the last count). Not to mention that we also launched a new version of the BView site earlier this week – but more about that in my next post.

With the amount of reviews you’ve all written, it makes me wonder where you all get the time to find these places… we’re not complaining, we’ve got loads of Amazon vouchers burning a hole in our collective pocket and they’ve got to go somewhere, so if you haven’t already then sign up and get writing. Ten quid for 20 reviews… bargain.

To give you an idea of the amazing quality of the reviews being added, here’s three of my favourite reviewers so far…

  • Fiona T in Gateshead: Everything from hotels to zoos with some restaurants and pubs thrown in for good measure. The quality of each and every review is first class. If I’m ever in the area I know where to go (and a few places to avoid).
  • Joy W in Sheffield: Not far off a century of reviews, some great titles and excellent photos. It’s not all about quantity, the quality is outstanding too.
  • Suki B in Milton Keynes: It seems Milton Keynes isn’t just concrete cows and roundabouts. Some excellent reviews, everything from cookie monsters to charity shops.

You can see the top 10 BView users here, updated daily – Jim L’s been on top for way to long now; I think he’s getting a bit complacent.

We’re always looking for feedback on the site so please get in touch with your comments, suggestions or questions and if you haven’t already; check out our Amazon voucher promotion to get some Amazon cash for your reviews.

That’s all for now, in my next post I’ll tell you all a bit more about the new BView features we released this week.

Laters.
