I put Ninian Park! I'm sure there are a few other old-timers who've been there as well. And you're correct, the reformed Halifax do still play at the Shay.
I must say I'm EXTREMELY jealous that you've been to Bradford (Park Avenue). I've only ever seen them at Horsfall (Braford's answer to Withdean)
oi, i put ninian park!So you didd. That's the problem with old gits like me and Alex Alex Dawson ooh ooh - we've got very short attention spans. We read something and then promptly forget all about it.
Have you ever been to Ninian Park?
yeah, well done, lists and lists and lists, it's not a competition.
who's can paint a picture with WORDS about their epic pilgramages?
worst / best / flairest / biggest terrace ...
It IS a competiton and I'm WINNING! And I missed out Filbert Street. And anyway I already wrote about away games on the Seagull Specials for 'Keep The Faith'.yeah, well done, lists and lists and lists, it's not a competition.

Charlton at the Old Valley was my first ever away game. Because I was little, and went with my Mum, we went in the seats behind the goal. I brought my brother's brand new split screen DONKEY KONG, and my Rothman's yearbook, to keep me entertained on the coach journey.
When we got there we went in quite early, so I took my plastic bag, with KONG, BOOK and TWIX in with me, and stowed it carefully under my seat.
As far as I know its still there....
I didn't know we were including re-built grounds, as I also went to the old Valley, AND stood on what was in it's time the biggest (?) English league ground terrace, accomodating a whopping 22 000 souls
Mmmmm, think again as I think that terrace held over 40,000 at some point. The North Bank at Highbury held 26,000 many years ago and I think both the Stretford End at Old Trafford and the Holte End at Villa Park were bigger than that.

Well Dean Court and The Valley don't count as they're 'rebuilds' not new grounds (and I can claim them as well). Avenue, whilst giving you great kudos, is not a current League ground. Twerton Park still exists so that doesn't count either. And I forgot Northampton's County Ground so I can add that to my list.Are you sure?
