What's the GRIMEST town/city you've visited for Football?

[sod1]

Chesterfield, Luton and Burslem.

i agree with Burslem, but my other nominations are overseas and are Katowice and Izmir

 

[Juan Albion]

Another vote for Port Vale.

Middlesbrough was a dump and have to go with the general sentiment on Luton.

I agree with Leeds - it's not a particularly grim place - but it's always somewhere where I feel I'm going to get attacked.

My nomination is Oldham: an ugly football stadium in the middle of urban desolation.

As for the person who said Bradford, he/she needs to get out more - Valley Parade has heaps of pubs within a 10 minute walk of the ground, more curry houses than anyone could need. A lovely park for a pre-match stroll just five minutes away and some fine Victorian architecture to admire. Bradford is near the top of my list for the best away experience in fact.

Oldham

Port Vale. The ugliest barmaids in the shittiest pubs anywhere.

Whatever part of Stoke,Port Vale's in. An unbelievably depressing area

 

[Notters]

a lot of people seem to be getting "town" and "ground" mixed up. Port vale is not a place, it's in Burslem. Chesterfield is a relatively pleasant Market town. Top 5 grimmest would have to be Burnley, oldham, Luton, Bradford, gillingham, though they are all away trips I enjoy, with the exception of gillingham.

 

[Notters]

Rotherham deserves a mention too.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Rochdale

maine road

 

[Knightsworld]

Rotherham - Shitehole.

 

[Hockley Blues]

Luton.

Hmm. I agree, you have to be BRAVE to drink in Tottenham, before a game.

Just ask Bushy......

probably for country boys like yourself, not for londoners , and especially not when your with chelsea

Derry. Only city where I've been stopped by the police driving to the ground, and then driving from the ground. Twice.

agreed, londonderry is a bit of a shithole, i spent a few months there in the eighties.

Got to be MK, Hereford and Luton.

 

[wizo7]

nobody said Barnsley yet It's surely one of the most deprived area's in the country...an absolute mare for an away fan; unfriendly locals, shocking pub for the away fans (in a leisure centre) and an all round shit-tip!!

To compound my misery I went to watch Charlton play there last season as a neutral (obviously) and the result was 0-0. Possibly the worst game i've ever seen!

 

[Driver8]

Milton keynes is probably the most depressing place i have ever been to.

 

[luke17]

Luton & Bradford

 

[Gwylan]

Got to be MK, Hereford and Luton.

Hereford!!!?


It's a picturesque English city - it must be the least grim place to boast a FL in the country

 

[Sonic The Hedgehog]

Burnley.

End of.
