myself and 3 mates will be in London over the NY period this coming December/January.
we want to go watch a premier league game whilst we’re in London and just want to see good football in a stadium with good atmosphere.
the three options we’ve narrowed down to are:
- Fulham vs Arsenal
- Tottenham vs Bournemouth
- West Ham vs Brighton
i’m tempted to get tickets to the London Fulham vs Arsenal derby (even tho they’ll cost twice as much as the tickets for the other 2 games), but wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on what you think is the “best” game to go to (out of these 3 options) for someone’s first time going to a Premier League game?
just fyi myself and my 3 mates don’t support any of the teams playing in these 3 games, so that won’t be an influencing factor in deciding which game we go to
Are you looking for a competitive game or a stadium experience?
Craven Cottage is one of the great classic English stadiums and Spurs’ stadium is a modern marvel. Either would be great as far as experiences go.
West Ham v Brighton has the best chance of being a good watch, they’re more evenly matched and they both play good football. Fulham v Arsenal has potential as a London derby but I expect Arsenal to dominate.
