From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of English football stadia by capacity)
This is a list of football stadiums in England, ranked in descending order of capacity.
There are an extremely large number of football stadiums and pitches in England, so this list is not comprehensive. It includes:
- All 116 clubs in the top five tiers of the English football league system as of the 2011-12 season (Premier League, Football League Championship, Football League One, Football League Two and Conference National), with rankings within each league given.
- All stadiums, with a capacity of at least 5,000, of clubs playing in lower tiers of the National League System (tier indicated in brackets).
A person who has watched a match at the stadiums of all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in England may apply to join The 92 Club.

Main article: List of defunct English football stadiums
Following crowd troubles in the 1980s and regulations imposed after the Taylor Report, several English league stadiums have been built or completely redeveloped in the last few years. Prior to 1988, however, the last newly-built Football League ground in England was Roots Hall, Southend, which was opened in 1955.
[edit] Future stadiums
Stadiums which are currently in development, and are likely to open in the near future, include:
| Stadium | Capacity | Club | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stanley Park Stadium | 63,000–73,000 | Liverpool FC | Stadium plans accepted, but with appointment of new owners the future of the stadium is uncertain. |
| Olympic Stadium (name may change) | 60,000 | ||
| Northumberland Development Project (unofficial name) | 56,250 | Tottenham Hotspur | In October 2008, the club announced that, if approved, it was planning to build a new stadium just to the north of the existing stadium at White Hart Lane, with the southern half of the new stadium's pitch located on the northwest corner of the Lane. The unique design of the build would allow the new stadium to be built adjacent to White Hart Lane as the old facility continues to be used for the team. During the summer after 2/3 of the new stadium was complete, the northern and western stands would be demolished and a new pitch laid. The rest of the stadium would be built in the years to follow. If it is built, club chairman Daniel Levy has stated that it will not adopt the White Hart Lane name, but will instead be named after a sponsor. Levy announced before the announcement of the olympic stadium if they do not get the olympic stadium, then they will not move. Spurs' bid was unsuccessful. |
| City of Birmingham Stadium | 55,000 | Birmingham City | Still in early planning phases as part of a large sporting complex. Very little of this proposal has been heard since Carson Yeung took over as Chairman of the Midlands club. |
| Everton Kirkby Project (official project name) | 50,400 | Everton | Planning permission rejected. The club is now looking at possible alternatives. |
| Fossetts Farm Stadium | c. 22,000 | Southend United | Planned to be opened by 2010, but setbacks has led to the project being put on hold. |
| UWE Stadium | 20,000 | Bristol Rovers F.C. | Bristol Rovers F.C. has plans to join in partnership with the University of the West of England to build a 20,000 all-seater bowl-shaped stadium on the Frenchay campus with a banqueting and hospitality suite, club shop, convenience store, crèche, jogging track, and public gym. Planning permission to sell the Memorial Stadium to Sainsburys is to be considered in August 2011, with a view to Bristol Rovers F.C. moving into the new stadium for the 2013/2014 season. |
| Langtree Park | 18,000 | St Helens Town | Currently used for rugby league only since opening in January 2012. St Helens are currently negotiating with St Helens RLFC about a proposal to share the stadium. |
| New York Stadium | 12,000 | Rotherham United F.C. | Intended to be ready move into in time for the start of the 2012–13 season. |
