Middlesbrough had an identical record between Ayresome Park and the Riverside, but the other teams all suffered a drop-off. Only Wolves have lost more home games in Europe's big five leagues this season than Spurs, with eight. West Ham 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. It was a similar story for Southampton after they left the tight confines of the Dell for St Mary's.
