    Wembley

    National stadium beats one that has been in need of massive investment for about 15 years at this stage

    Wow what a match up

    I'll go with Old Trafford, done the stadium tour last year and while its a little run down it's such an iconic stadium

    As of yet never visited Wembley but hoping i'll get there one day

    Been to both and neither are up to much. Wembley is a terrible stadium given it's fairly new, the seating is so flat that all the seats feel miles away from the pitch. Old Trafford is, at least, a bit more old school but it wasn't up to much.

    So I'll let tribalism decide, because I hate the team from Salford - Wembley please

    Gonna go with Old Trafford here.
    Not a United fan but have been there a few times for matches. It has the history, it did have atmosphere.
    I was in the original Wembley for a cup final, that was an iconic stadium / venue. The new one is a bit meh

    Been to both and has to be Wembley - great views, history, capacity, design and as mentioned above seeing Shane Long score against England.

    One of the guys in my group came home with a souvenir as the back of the chair in front of him snapped off during the goal celebrations - Revenge for Skibbereen/Lansdowne.

    Another toughie. But you don't get many views from a sporting venue like the one over all of Barcelona, so I'll vote for the swimming pool

    Ooh, I do love the yellow wall, but I'm going to stick with my nomination of Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc because of the iconic diving images...

    Phew, I was too busy watching potters potting and fit people throwing themselves over straw bales and doing sitting competitions, so missed the first few rounds this evening.


    Thank goodness good sense prevailed and 1060 West Addison and Bird's Nest went through without my assistance! :D


    The current bout - that swimming pool has to get my vote - my god, the views!

    This is tough, gotta go for Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc though.

    That scenery looks pretty awesome
