robins72 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Everyones talking crap towns but what is the crappest ground you've been to. Apart from the obvious stad de memorial (hem hem) mine has to be chesterfield. The fact that I've never seen us win there (didn't attend the midweek game in 99-00 season). Its a sham yukky toilets and awful pitch and theres no roof! Over to you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderHider Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I'm not saying this just because its the Gas, but the memorial ground reminds me of my back yard with a few chairs scattered around it, fortunatly there is no need for Citys fans to frequent this torrid place as they play lower league football. So.....Rovers ground is the worst i have ever had the misfortune to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hairyshamrock Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I think everyone is forgetting Cambridge - went there the other year for the LDV area final. I was amazed and liked the fact they had the old style floodlighting... but was also amazed by the fact that they also didn't shine on the pitch but actually shone on the roof of the stands behind the goals!!

I remember a fine afternoon towards the end of a season in about 1988/89/90 ... around then: Sitting on the grass bank in the sun, watching the footy. Are you saying that a soulless plastic seat in their new half empty enormo-drome is better? Swindon have always had a bit of a rubbish ground.

Guest hilltop red Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Filbert street. You had to walk though someones house. Only a net stopped the leicester fans chucking stuff at you from the left. And on the right no protection at all. They had one massive new stand, must of held 12,000, as the others were tiny. Food, toilets, view all crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Blackpool (before redevelopment) and Luton are the worst I've visited. But on a slightly different tack. Are there any grounds you've visited where you've been surprised at how good it is in relation to the size of the club? Rochdale have a cracking little ground and I was quite impressed with Mansfield. BTW - I've heard from some away supporters that AG is one of the worst away grounds to visit. No backs to the seats being the major complaint. Some people are never happy. Still, they'll all be in the Atyeo in a few years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5_RED Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Twerton - Home of some much agony and pain........(except for that 4-2 of course) Ninian Park - Nuff Said Millwall. (New then - never went to the old ground). Remember a game in 2001 (?) - Big Kev got injured - we drew 1-1 with Scotty scoring in the last seconds. Was staying at a mates in East London and we had to walk to the tube station - don't think we said a word on the way home!! Oxford - (Old) Manor Ground. And further afield........... Stadio Delli Apli - Turin. Nice ground...........Not a very nice welcome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I have a new carp gound. Ashton Gate. Used to like it years a go - a bit quiet but always got 3 points.
