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.
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.
Middlesbrough had an identical record between Ayresome Park and the Riverside, but the other teams all suffered a drop-off.
Tottenham were always unlikely to match their stunning White Hart Lane finale of 17 wins and two draws when they moved to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a spell at Wembley.
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 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.
Everton 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, Liverpool and Manchester City before the end of the season.
