According to a poll involving all top-flight and Football League clubs, Crystal Palace has been ranked as having the best matchday experience in the country.
The poll was conducted by football site Copa90, with reporter Eugene Noble heading to all 92 grounds during the 2021/22 campaign to get a taste of the atmosphere and overall experience for supporters. Each club was rated out of five in four different sections - the stadium's soul, home support, matchday menu and eccentricity.
Palace received full marks for their stadium soul, home support and eccentricity, losing their only point on their matchday menu for which they scored four out of five. This was enough to score them 19/20, placing them joint top of the leaderboard alongside London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The next London club from the Premier League was Arsenal in 13th, followed by Chelsea (16th), Fulham (17th), Brentford (55th) and West Ham (85th).
