Stoke moved to the new £15m Britannia Stadium (as it was known back then) in 1997. Whilst the ground is certainly more modern than the Victoria Ground, it hasn't resulted in the same sort of improvements we have seen from other teams on this list.
Results-wise, the new stadium has made no impact at all - Stoke's average finishing position at the Victoria Ground was 39th, that improved only one place to 38th in the first 10 years at the Britannia.
Off the pitch, the 14% increase in average attendance is one of the smallest from the teams we have looked at. It may be shinier and newer than the Victoria Ground, but it hasn't had the impact we've seen from other new stadiums.
