Over time, it becomes a second home to the football supporter, but what happens if their stadium suddenly gets relocated or upgraded?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019ve had a look back at some of the major stadium changes over the last two decades and have seen how the fortunes of the respective club have changed over time.<\/p>\n<h2>Middlesbrough \u2013 Ayresome Park to Riverside Stadium (1995)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7,079 (26,667 to 33,746)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Championship<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Middlesbrough left Ayresome Park following the publishing of the Taylor report in 1990, which banned standing in English football stadia. The ground had been Boro\u2019s home for 92 years and was used in the 1966 World Cup, but it was becoming derelict and this was exposed after the death of two fans in 1980 after being struck by debris.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Boro finished in mid-table of the Premier League for 10 consecutive years, before suffering relegation in 2009. They were promoted at the end of the 2015\/16 season, but they went straight back down again.<\/p>\n<h2>Derby County \u2013 Baseball Ground to Pride Park (1997)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 15,927 (18,300 to 33,597)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Championship<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Derby\u2019s old stadium was originally built for baseball and was the home of the Rams\u2019 1971\/72 title winning season under Brian Clough. However, following the Bradford City fire of 1985, the club decided to relocate a wooden-based grounds were no longer considered safe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pride Park was the first football stadium opened by the Queen and saw plenty of Premier League action in its early years. However, Derby have spent just one season in the top flight since 2002, that being the worst ever Premier League team in 2007\/08.<\/p>\n<h2>Bolton Wanderers \u2013 Burnden Park to Reebok Stadium (1997)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6,107 (22,216 to 28,723)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Championship<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bolton left Burnden Park in 1997 and moved to the Reebok Stadium, now known as the Macron Stadium. Their first season at their new ground ended with relegation. However, they regained their place in the top flight and had an 11-year stint in the Premier League, until suffering relegation again in 2012.<\/p>\n<h2>Southampton \u2013 The Dell to St Mary\u2019s (2001)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 17,489 (15,200 to 32,689)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Dell has an incredible history as it had to recover from an 18-foot crater in the penalty area from a bomb dropped during The Blitz in World War Two. It was also the first English stadium to have permanent floodlights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Southampton\u2019s stint in the Premier League ended shortly after moving to St Mary\u2019s and they dropped even further down the pyramid as they suffered relegation to League One in 2009. However, they\u2019ve recovered and are now an established Premier League club.<\/p>\n<h2>Leicester City \u2013 Filbert Street to Walkers Stadium (2002)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 12,500 (22,000 to 32,500)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Division One (now the Championship)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Filbert Street was home to Leicester for 111 years, but was located next to terraced houses which ensured that expansion wasn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Walkers Stadium (as it was formally known) oversaw a promotion and relegation in its first two seasons. For a decade, Leicester were outside the top flight, even dropping to League One in 2008. However, the new stadium oversaw their Premier League title victory in 2016 and has now become known for the outstanding turf patterns on the pitch.<\/p>\n<h2>Manchester City \u2013 Maine Road to City of Manchester Stadium (2003)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 19,850 (35,150 to 55,000)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maine Road was home to the 1937 and 1968 Division One victories, but it had become decrepit by the turn of the century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">City moved to the City of Manchester Stadium, which was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, but they were just as turgid in the first few years in their new ground as their last at Maine Road. Sheikh Mansour\u2019s takeover in 2008 changed the landscape of the Premier League and City have now won two more top flight titles.<\/p>\n<h2>Coventry City \u2013 Highfield Road to Ricoh Arena (2005)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 9,120 (23,489 to 32,609)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Championship<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 League Two<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highfield Road saw nine seasons of Premier League football and it became known for its revolutionary pre-match entertainment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However the move to the Ricoh Arena coincided with a poor period for Coventry and they\u2019ve plummeted down the football period since being relegated from the top flight in 2001. They were forced to play at Northampton\u2019s Sixfields stadium in 2014, following a rent dispute. That season saw them record an all-time low average attendance of 2,348.<\/p>\n<h2>Arsenal \u2013 Highbury to the Emirates (2006)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 22,013 (38,419 to 60,432)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highbury will always be remembered for the Invincibles season of 2003\/04, which saw Arsenal win the Premier League without suffering defeat over the course of the season. Thierry Henry scored a hat-trick in the final game at the old stadium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The move to the Emirates hasn\u2019t bought the success that Arsenal fans would have hoped for. They were restricted financially for a number of years following the move and they\u2019ve failed to win the league since that Invincibles season, 13 years ago.<\/p>\n<h2>West Ham \u2013 Upton Park to London Stadium (2016)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Capacity increase:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 21,655 (35,345 to 57,000)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League at time of move:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>League now:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Premier League<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was much anger directed towards West Ham for their acquisition of the Olympic Stadium. Built for the 2012 Olympics, the move was seen as highly controversial as it was mainly funded by the taxpayer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hammers struggled in their first season at their new ground, with some late form covering up a poor season. There were security concerns throughout the season and crowd trouble inside the stadium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DominicTrant\">Words by @dominictrant<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football fans travel to their club\u2019s ground throughout the season to watch their team play.
