Eight clubs – only counting teams who were in the top flight for both their last season at their old ground and first at their new, and excluding temporary homes – have moved stadiums since 1992-93, but only one finished the next season with an improved record.<\/p>\n
Derby County went from an average of 1.6 points per game in their last year at the Baseball Ground to an impressive 2.1 as they adapted brilliantly to a debut campaign at Pride Park in 1997-98.<\/p>\n
Middlesbrough had an identical record between Ayresome Park and the Riverside, but the other teams all suffered a drop-off.<\/p>\n
Tottenham<\/a> were always unlikely to match their stunning White Hart Lane finale of 17 wins and two draws when they moved to Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> Stadium after a spell at Wembley.<\/p>\n But seven years on they are still to establish their arena as a place teams fear to come, with some pundits claiming it is too welcoming for opposition players. Only Wolves<\/a> have lost more home games in Europe’s big five leagues this season than Spurs, with eight.<\/p>\n West Ham<\/a> had an immediate drop-off in their first season at London Stadium, dropping half a point per game on average. Their plight at the hugely unpopular and vast former athletics track is well documented, with fans pining for Upton Park’s intimidating atmosphere.<\/p>\n It was a similar story for Southampton after they left the tight confines of the Dell for St Mary’s.<\/p>\n Everton<\/a> are only 0.2 points per game down on their final season at Goodison but, given their most recent win at Hill Dickinson came on 6 December, they have some work to do to reverse the trend given they face Chelsea<\/a>, Liverpool<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a> before the end of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
