BRADFORD City have been ranked sixth for the best stadium experience in the EFL.
BetVictor’s Football Fan Experience study has ranked the best and worst football stadiums for fan experience based on eight weighted criteria - and the study has officially concluded that Tranmere Rovers’ Prenton Park provides the best fan experience anywhere in the football league.
Gillingham’s Priestfield Stadium is the worst in the EFL for fan experience
The Coventry Building Society Arena is ranked as the best in the Championship, narrowly ahead of the Hawthorns of West Brom
The University of Bolton Stadium tops the League One rankings.
Valley Parade is only behind Prenton Park in League Two, with an overall rating of 74.36 out of 100.
City just pipped Sunderland and the Stadium of Light, which is seventh, as Home Park (Plymouth), The Valley (Charlton) and Hillsborough (Sheffield Wednesday) round off the top 10.
On the other end of the spectrum, Gillingham’s Priestfield Stadium officially offers the worst fan experience in the football league with the League Two team’s score coming in at just 51.43.
Interestingly, football teams in the South of England tended to offer worse fan experiences than those in the Midlands, the North, and Wales.
Of the bottom five teams in the fan experience ranking, only Newport do not hail from the South of England, whilst the best ranked southern team, Plymouth, only came in eighth place.
