Thought I'd add to the thread as of interest,
Exeter - Great fans, good rugby, good atmosphere facilities
pretty good - always cold on a hill and the wind blows through
the stadium, hard to get a seat on the side of the pitch never
been that keen on watching rugby from the end
Bath - Beautiful city great day out, ground has a lot of
atmosphere - Fans are bad losers and bad winners (but do sit in
the middle of them for a good seat almost feels segregated) keep
your fingers crossed it doesn't rain as largely uncovered
Northampton - Great Fans really friendly, very professional and
tidy stadium, good atmosphere - town felt a little neglected but
would go back
Gloucester - Fans were good with lots of atmosphere, tidy
stadium - didn't go into Gloucester and went to the game at the
end of last season sat behind our players if you were there you
know it was a miserable performance and players looked really
down....
Saracens - Friendly fans - odd stadium lacking atmosphere
London Irish - Won the cup so worth going, fans are fun and
generally happy - Tin box, terrible atmosphere and hate the
drums :)

From my own travels, in descending order of match day enjoyment
(most enjoyable first), here we go:
1. Franklin’s Gardens. Easy parking, friendly crowd, decent
prices for a good pint and food.
2. The Rec, good atmosphere, slightly blinkered home supporters,
do not go by car.
3. Kingston Park, long way to go, but worth the effort for the
atmosphere. Take a Geordie/English phrase book.
4. Kingsholme. Tremendous atmosphere, bit limited for parking.
Some where in Gloucester there must be the largest blinker shop
in the country.
5. Ricoh. Apart from being half empty, all the facilities there
are hard to beat, easy to get to and park your car.
6. Welford Road. Still a good day out, although the parking can
be difficult, and in my opinion, the standard of the home crowd
support and knowledge of what they are watching has dropped a
bit recently.
7. Six ways. Easy to park, quite a good atmosphere, hard to get
a decent pint.
8. AJ Bell Stadium. Soulless place, no atmosphere, difficult to
get both into and out of.
9. Allianz Park. No further comment. Do not go there unless you
really need to.
Not managed to get to Sandy Park yet.
Not been to Ashton Gate, but have happy memories of Memorial
Ground.
For next year, if Madjeski is on the list, it’s a bit like
Ricoh, but catering facilities not as good.
If the opportunity ever arises, go to Thomond Park, and even
Sports Ground (Galway), you cant fail to have a good time
whatever the result, same can be said for french clubs as well,
especially Montpelier, they have a great bunch of supporters.
