Barrs Court Red Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Does anyone remember the old Wigan ground, Springfield Park?I remember beating them 3-0 there the season we went up with Watford. Surely the worst "league" ground we've played at in the last 20 years, so bad it even had a rusty tracktor by the side of the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giles_23_bcfc Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Ive never been there, but from driving past it, Hull's on ground, Boothferry Park looked an absolute sh1thole from the outside. The main entrance (i presume it was) with the "Welcome To Hull City FC" board was more so slanted it looked like it was going to fall off at any minute.

mattyboy83 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have been to a few. Oxford's old Manor Ground stands out. A gert big yellow fence in front of the away fans with no roof, no seats, rusty bars to lean against and a makeshift burger van. We even had to que along a residential road to get in. Poor residents ! A few other grounds that have pissed me off over the years include Swansea's old ground. I mean it was terrible, sheep climbing the railings after scoring a goal, a stand at the home end that looked half complete and slanted. When you exited teh ground you were confinded to a narrow back street, usually greeted by the Swan Chavs and riot police. if that wasnt enough it was next door to the prison!Brighton, Colchester and Trumpton(Twerton Park) was pretty bad!

Brizzle Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Northampton when they had only three stands. One whole side of the pitch was empty with nothing but a plank or two.I think they shared with the cricket and the view for away fans was abysmal.Others I remember being pretty naff were old Millwall, old Brighton and old Reading.

bristolcityup Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Was not impressed with Swindon away, though the stand I had to sit in cus coulndt get into our away end reminded me of our dolman stand, but older and worse.. Peterborough was not great although they do have one nice stand to the left if your stood in the away end..Nicest ground, apart form the millenuim prob Majeski actually, I was very impressed with that.

Midge Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I'll add Rotherham to the list,you have to go through a scrap yard to get to it,then when you get inside you realise that the scrap yard makes better viewing than the ground.Also the pies are awful,ended up wearing it when we last went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
