Saw this article a few years back. It highlights the 10 worst football grounds in England. Priestfield Stadium in Gillingham is the worst one. Stamford Bridge comes in at 10. Here is what is says.
'One of the most mean-spirited,unfriendly and scruffiest stadiums in the land. Not scruffy in a wholesome way, like Goodison Park for example, but in a an extremely tacky, cheap, classless way - a £2-for-a-Mars-bar way. Where do this mob get the brassnecked spivvery to charge visiting fans £52 (Manchester Utd) and £48 (Newcastle)for a view not dissimilar to watching the match through a letterbox? Standing is a necessity. Truly a cesspit of everything that is crass about twenty-first century football.'
'You can't enjoy a game there because you're overwhelmed with the sensation of being ripped off. Foul people.'

Lots of those old stadia have character (soul) but are usually wretched, terrible places to watch sports.
