Lawatan Stadium di England

Memandangkan hari ini saya mempunyai sedikit masa terluang, ingin saya berkongsi pengalaman dengan semua sahabat-sahabat yang membaca blog ini berkenaan dengan stadium-stadium yang sempat saya lawati sepanjang 4 tahun berada di England (2006-2010). Sememangnya pengalaman manis ini akan terus mekar dalam benak fikiran saya. Disebabkan minat yang mendalam dalam sukan bola sepak, semasa mula-mula menjejakkan kaki ke England saya bertekad untuk melawat ke semua stadium di England (untuk 5 divisyen teratas) yang merangkumi 116 stadium. Walaupun saya tak berjaya untuk melawat ke semua 116 stadium, namun alhamdulillah kerana saya berkesempatan untuk membuat lawatan ke 78 buah stadium di seluruh pelusuk England. Selain daripada stadium di England, saya juga berkesempatan untuk pergi ke stadium pasukan yang saya sanjungi iaitu Santiago Bernebau (Real Madrid) dan Nou Camp (Barcelona) semasa bercuti di Sepanyol. Dan semasa berada di Jerman, saya juga sempat melawat Allianz Arena (Bayern Munich) dan Mercedes Benz Arena (Stuttgart). Berikut adalah senarai stadium yang sempat saya lawati di seluruh pelusuk England:
