Lack of Action Man Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Mine would be either the minimal patch or Wigans old ground. That really was a sour dump. What says you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledinwatford Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Saw us lose 1-0 at Donnys' Belle Vue ground ugh. Happy memories of Eastville - that 4-1 win in the wind!!!!! Don't forget Vicarage Road Watford when we all had to walk around those bloody allotments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Newport County or Wigan's old dump were just sh1tty grounds. Disliked Barnsley and Grimsby because of the sh1tty days out I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Tinnion Park .... one of the few to have who stuck it out on the Grange Town End for a full 90 minutes prior to segregation. That was a bit grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Withdean - nice pub, but that's it. If the back row of the away end is still underneath the crossbar, you've got a shit ground. Salturdgate - Three rows of terracing, shit toilets, shit food stand, pouring rain. Layer Road - Not a fun place to be, especially when the coach breaks down on the way back and you have to knock on a pensioner's door for some cold water for the boiler. And a controversial choice... New Wembley. I never went to the old one, so that's not a reason. My reason is twofold: firstly, on TV the entire block behind the dugout is barely half-full during the first half and is pretty much bone-empty for a good portion of the second half (I know it's the comp-ticket area, but it still looks ******* awful on the box!) The second reason is that in person when you're sat inside you can look at the tens of thousands of people and go "oooh, aaah" and share with the experience and all, but the concourse is a steel & stone grey/white monstrosity with no character or footballing soul about it. Nothing nostalgic, nothing that says "you've made it to the big dance", just an artificial nightmare that only serves to hold the cattle who want to have a piss or buy the food before finding their seats as soon as possible. The Comp brigade has something slightly better, I'd imagine, that's why they're never in their ******* seats for over half the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree about Wembley, I'd much rather take the old Wembley (warts et al). Although the old Wembley was in bad need of modernisation, it had loads of character. The new Wembley is far too sterile, and instead of people attending to create an atmosphere and enjoy the fooball, it's more to do with how they're entertained when they arrive, what they eat, where they eat, how clean/tidy the restaurants are, sitting in comfy seats, what time the refreshments are started, basically anything apart from the reason why they're there.....which is to support your team, and outsing the opponents, sadly it's not about that anymore.

Bris Red Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I agree with the majority in saying Springfield road was a dump, reminded me a lot of Eastville. As for current grounds, Blackpools Bloomfield road stands out as being a sh1t hole (Although i see they are finally re doing that stand behind the goal!). As for other grounds i have been to Selhurst Park, Fratton Park, Glanford park and Saltergate all stick in my memory as terrible grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I would rather visit a dump than one of these new souless places, Cardiff, Swansea, Coventry, Southampton, Leicester etc. Give me a visit to their old grounds any day of the week. Ok it might be cramped terracing and you might have to queue ages for a burger and teh toilets stink but ain't that the whole point of teh whole football experience?

CalgaryRed Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The old Oxford United Manor Ground was cr4p. Even worse in 81-82 when we were nosediving to the basement. We lost in Kevin Mabbutt's last City game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewsham Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 In no particular order... Alder bloody shot. We seemed to play them about 6 times a season once - and hated every trip, and the nature ramble that inevitably followed. Springfield Park was a joke of a ground and a trip to Carlisle gave me toothache. Forest was just cold (Oldham ditto, and that plastic pitch was a definite advantage for 'em). Never much liked the Baseball Ground either, but I can quite understand why Derby fans liked it - a terrific home advantage. Trips to Elm Park and The Manor Ground were always "fun", but the most difficult ground to find? Gotta be Leyton Orient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmeronecow Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 remember going to northampton away back in the late 80's, what a craphole that was, we had two players sent off and lost the game. worst away day i've ever had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 and someone already said my two worst have to be brighton and luton brighton youre just ridiculously far from the pitch with no roof, nothing, its like your barely even there luton is just a horrible place to go. ground looks terrible and the seats are so dam close to you, you can barely get your knees in. never sat the multiple times ive been there, physically impossible. , i remember going through someones back garden to get to the away end as well, could see right in to peoples houses On reflection, Luton actually might be my choice: horrible ground, horrible location, horrible cramped seating, horrible from station to ground, horrible match-day experience (the 0-5 sticks in my mind). The enjoyable moments I recall from any of my trips was BTR berating a policeman at great length about civil liberty infringements, and the journey away from the god-forsaken hell hole.
