Three grounds you really dont like going too and why?

[Napster]

Brentford, for the reasons previously stated

Barnet - it's a joke

Oxford - not only soulless, but 3 sided as well.

I didn't mind Barnet - decent pub nearby, not too hard to get a parking space. Only problem was the catering!

Oxford - agreed - also hard to find anywhere for a pint for the England game afterwards.

 

[Maldon Blues]

I would say Boston, but they've gone now - Goodbye!

How about:

Luton
Gillingham
Brighton

 

[Desert Shrimper]

Good thread. Will go for the following:

Darlington - full of chavvy ***** whose daily routine consists of eating at Morrisons, shoplifting from JD Sports and humping Vicky Pollards behind Threshers. Then repeat for rest of life.

Grimsby - how can so many people living there be SO wrong? Defines the expression "it's a sh1thole" better than anywhere else in the World (although people from Hull would probably brick the coach of anyone who suggested this.)

Barnsley - anywhere where the police have to evacuate people from a pub for "being Southern" on the grounds that it could antagonise the locals deserves a mention. Yes, that did happen.

West Ham - A toilet full of monkeys, no less. If Charles Darwin had parachuted into Upton Park at any time over the last thirty years his theory of man's evolution would have incorporated "Upton Park Regular" as a species of man slightly less developed than the ape. Utter disgrace to mankind bunch of *****.

Port Vale - its just a dump. One of those grounds you tick off but aint worth going back

Grimsby - been there twice and got called off. The place is a right crap hole and we hardly win there

MK Dons - the place is just bleak

 

[ldnfatso]

Crystal Palace - P1ss Hole of the world.

Doncaster - Carsey of a place.

Port Vale - Backside of the earth and their Supporters are C***s.

Cheeky git! i did the parking!!!!

 

[keefmoon]

Without question these are my worst.

Layer Road - Can't believe more people haven't said this. Just an awful, awful ground. I had cramp in my calves for 2 days after the last game for standing on tip toe all the time at the back of the terrace. And that was just to let people by.

Mk Dons - It's not a ground. It's a hockey stadium. With temporary seats.

Luton - Just IMAGINE having a season ticket at that place. I can't. I just can't.

 

[Wessex]

Love Brentford, loads of boozers around the ground and if the game's sh1te then you can watch the planes landing instead.

MK Dons - Stepford wives come to life, sorry MK shrimper but surely the most soulless town in England.

Northampton - An example of how not to build a new ground

Yeovil - On a wet, freezing day in November is there a worse place to be when you're losing than that that god-forsaken open terrace.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Can't believe there isn't a vote for Brisbane Road so far.

Oxford, there is more atmosphere on the moon.

Grimsby, one of the coldest most unwelcoming places on earth. It's grey, dank, cold and miserable, even in bloody July.

 

[Mr Wooly]

Barnet - it's a joke

Funny that, as Barnet is strangely one of my favourite trips. The ground is beautifully awful, we always take over the place, easy to get to by train or car, and there's loads of pubs in the vicinity. Their fans are a good bunch as well.

Agree with general consensus here. Just seeing or hearing the name Grimsby makes me shudder, MK Dons for its plasticness (and the fact I've never been so cold at a Football match), and Chester for its location and matchbox stadium design. Its something that a 8 year old wrestled up surely?

Another one to throw in is Leeds; excellent night-life and good for a weekend but Elland Road is a dump, and their fans are thugs.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

1) Luton Town. That stadium deserves to be in League 2, it really does.

2) Oxford United. I hate three sided grounds almost as much as ones with running tracks, there's naff all atmosphere and their fans have a really bad case of big-club itis.

3) Layer Road. A lot of people say it has character. But it also has the worst away end of anywhere I've been. The only decent thing I can say about it is that it has a roof.

 

[Bucks_blue]

Luton - Bad Area , Bad Seats, Bad results and easily the worst toilets Ihave ever been in in my life!

Brentford - Becasue of the reuslts + open terrace - Last season and the LDV were SO disappointing.

Swansea old ground - Was pretty initmidated about going to the old Vetch as Swansea is a truley awful town. A welsh sh!thole it defineitely worse than a northern sh!thole! But after last season and the celebrations at their new stadium my opinion of Swansea has changhed considerably.

Honourable mentioned to Doncaster , because of results and northerness and MK dons. Well they are not a porper football club so why should they have a proper football stadium.

I didn't think Grimsby was that bad. I remember it quite fondly now as without it we wouldn't have had our first winning trip to Cardiff!

Where do you holiday Basra?

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

Can't believe there isn't a vote for Brisbane Road so far.

That's because it's a good away trip and you know it.

Anyhoo on to business:

Darlington. What a ridiculous stadium. Soulless, empty and devoid of atmosphere. Not exactly the fans' fault, although they are a particularly quiet, inbred bunch. No decent boozers within five mles of the ground either.

Grimsby. Just say it out loud. There's your answer.

Luton. Utter s***hole. One of the worst grounds, situated in one of the worst council estates in one of the worst towns in England. Awful news that they're back in the same division.


ps. MkDonalds shouldn't count as an awful away trip, as no self-respecting fan should even be going there.

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Monovar - sand pitch, a stand about 20ft long, and a bar as far away from the stand as you could possibly get it without actually leaving the confines of the ground. It also looks like a prison exercise yard.

Ondarense - one small stand about half-a-pitch long and about three steps high. The rest of the perimeter is rather like standing around a park pitch on a Sunday morning; metal posts joined by a long length of rope. A decent bar though.

Albatera - nice little ground with a decent stand and bar but the locals make Millwall looks like mere pussy cats than scary lions. We're back there in less than two weeks; the suit of armour has been ordered.

Oh ... you mean in ENGLAND?!

Kenilworth Road, Layer Road, Blundell Park.

;)

 

[sufccolchester]

Yeovil - Officious parking stewards, no shelter, no hot water, no points

I want to say Layer Road but it's so close. So I'll go for QPR.

Luton - no leg room and I'm not one to look into other people's bathrooms on the way out!

 

[Uncle Leo]

The VIP section was very nice, - champagne reception and 3-course meal, all for £40!

:)

Yes, yes, we remember hearing ALL about it on the train back ;) :thump:

 

[Napster]

Yes, yes, we remember hearing ALL about it on the train back ;) :thump:

Yes, I had to slum it with the proles on the way back.

:p

 

[EastStandBlue]

Carlisle - It's in Scotland.

MK Dons - Enough roundabouts to give you whiplash and a soulless, detestable club. What a surprise the only pub next to the ground is a wetherspoons.

Brighton - What the hell is this?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Yes, I had to slum it with the proles on the way back.

:p

It wasn't all proles. We did have Matt the Shrimp with us.
