    Not football but the Batley Bulldogs rugby league club play at the Fox's Biscuits Stadium!
    With a slope from end to end several times deeper than the old one at ER!

    Ours was an 8 foot slope (sounds filthy when you read it out loud)

    I used to quite like that you could see Canary Wharf and the other skyscrapers in that area from the upper tier of the stand behind the goal at the Boleyn.

    Magic ground, very much missed.
    Indeed. 😥

    Belenenses, in Belem, on the outskirts of Lisbon, has views across the River Tagus to the absolutely massive Cristo Rei monument and also looks over the Jeronimos Monastery, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    The football club are separate from the sporting club who own the stadium and I believe the football club (top-flight) have moved out this season. A sixth-tier football team who are part of the sporting club now play in the stadium but it seems most of the fanbase stayed with the sixth-tier team.

    Trivia point - Belenenses first game in Europe was against us.
    There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

    You used to get a decent view of the Thames from the top of the terrace at Fulham.
    Likewise at Arbroath - the view of the harbour was diverting.

    I understand that, not only can you see the Moon from the top of the Camp Nou in Barcelona, you can actually almost touch it.

    No, that was the old terracing at Easter Road before it was cut in half. At least it seemed like that as a kid.
