Changing face of England's stadiums

Hull City left Boothferry Park in 2002 for the KC Stadium, voted England's best football ground by fans in a poll in 2005

Leicester City left Filbert Street in 2002 and now play at the Walkers Stadium

Middlesbrough moved to the Riverside Stadium, close to the North Sea coast, in 1995

Derby County's Pride Park stadium opened in 1997 and staged one of Sven-Goran Eriksson's first games as England manager

Southampton Football Club moved in 2001 to St Mary's, a stadium with more than double the capacity of their old home

The year 2001 also saw Southampton welcome a new cricket ground, the Rose Bowl, which has hosted England matches

Sunderland gave their new home the name The Stadium of Light - the same name as Benfica's famous stadium in Lisbon

Manchester City's home was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, held there before football was staged at the stadium

Millwall kept a link to their history by naming their new home The New Den when they left their old stadium - The Den

The original Wembley Stadium was opened in 1923 and hosted the 1948 Olympic Games as well as many football matches

But there are question marks over whether the new Wembley will be ready in time for the 2006 FA Cup final
