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

[CHAPPERS]

Watford is a f***ing shitheap.

 

[Gwylan]

You might find Stevenage makes a good bid at the weekend. It's like a cross between Milton Keynes and Luton, without the charm.

I played in a six-a-side tournament in Stevenage a few years ago and it looked like a particularly grim place. We got out straight away rather than find somewhere to drink locally and the more I hear about Stevenage, the more that strikes me as the right decision.

Not sure it's as bad as Luton though - one of the grimmest places to visit.

Apart from the pub,the honest lawyer, which is exellent, Scunthorpe's a bit of a dive.
Especially as you get to see a lot of it, the ground being about 3 miles from the station.

Hull anyone,another crapheap.

Lincoln, Scunthorpe and now Hull - you obviously don't like the local area then

For what it's worth, Hull has changed a lot in recent years, it's a decent place now.

 

[The Spanish]

Parkhead has to be the shittiest location of a football ground in Britain without doubt. You feele like you have become addicted to heroin just by walking through the area.

Oldham for England though.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Yeovil is one of the worst places, the Luton of the West.

Luton of course is always shite as is Stoke and Gillingham is fairly special.

Grimsby has to be one of the worst places, nothing nice about Cleethorpes or Grimsby and all the pubs seemed to be having new windows put in, on that Saturday night.

Probably West Ham or Orient, since E3 is the spiritual home of Grime. Skepta and JME are from Tottenham though:

bermosndey............millwall

bletchley.....MK

selhurst

East Ham.....WHU

 

[bhaexpress]

Oldham, Luton and Wigan.

 

[Danny-Boy]

I have visited there, and it was as a pre-cursor to taking in a football match at a nearby football stadium, I forget the name but it was decrepit old hovel.

So it fits the criteria, yes

I remember in the mid 1990's going to a Hove-l...

 

[Danny-Boy]

Brentford never seen us win there and The old vetch ground at swansea grim

You're just confusing an unlucky ground with a tip. Griffin Park has a pub on each corner plus it is much cheaper than Withered-dream, what more can you ask for?

whats e3 got to do with it ? west ham are in e13

 

[Simster]

Barnsley is weird. Not particularly grim, just the most souless boring town I've ever been to, and that includes those fridge-mentals in Gillingham.

Rotherham is a true shitheap, as is Chesterfield and of course non-league Loo town.
I think Rotherham just about nicks it for me.

 

[aftershavedave]

a visit to chesterfield was like a trip back in time. absolutely grim!

BOW E3!

I'm so E3!

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Mansfield and Blackburn ,also Everton BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU GO AT THESE PLACES

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

a visit to chesterfield was like a trip back in time. Absolutely grim!

especially when you're hearded into one boozer and then escorted back to the station

 

[Raflad1984]

Hereford and hull were pretty grim. Swansea and Rotherham also although i havent visited either of these since 1996 so will give them the benefit of the doubt for the time being at least

 

[DJB1975]

Luton

 

[jimmypbha]

Really everything above London, that includes London too. There are all shit holes.

 

[Don Quixote]

Certainly Luton.
