10 of the worst stadiums in football – Premier League grounds, Barca's home and more

It was always going to be hard to turn an athletics stadium into one which hosts football on a regular basis, and the result has been a fudge which leaves fans too far away from the action. English football clubs used to look at continental sides playing in athletics stadiums and thank their lucky stars that sort of set up didn't apply in Blighty, but as clubs like Juventus ditch soulless stadiums for purpose-built football grounds, so West Ham have done the opposite. It also appears to be tough to segregate away from home supporters before, during and after the game, as the EFL Cup clash with Chelsea showcased.
