I don't think so. (yes I know County are currently non league) Meadow Lane is a cracking ground, giving county the realistic potential of championship football, should they manage it again. County have also seen top flight football during the current generation. Stoke..? Big league gap and Vale have a half rebuilt, crumbling mess of a ground. It still makes the Mem look crap though.!
