Least favourite ground you have visited?

[Brighton Breezy]

Lincoln's was shit and freezing being at the bacl of their stand that it twice the size of the others meaning the wind hurtles in.

Also we were shit as well and I got things thrown at me by tosser northerners.

I do not mind Sincil Bank, simply for the site a few years back of a bit of a stand off, one of the blokes we were with telling this woman she should essentially go back to the kitchen, so she lumped him one. The fact we were all pissing ourselves defused the situation.

Gresty Road - Crewe in the late 80's it was a dump.

The only good thing i remember from my visit that day was cheap beer and fantastic fish and chips.

 

[Safeway]

Barnet's a proper dump, and the food was the worst ANYWHERE.

Others worthy of mention are Swansea (toilets worse then the old North Stand), Chesterfield (toilets had no roof) and Luton (toilets were in someone's KITCHEN).

It's all about the toilets.

 

[Albion Edd]

Luton and Colchesters grounds are dumps

 

[Albion Rob]

Macclesfield's ground was not up to much and there was virtually nothing near the ground either.

Christ knows how they coped when they played Man City there a few years back.

Fratton Park.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

For toilets, it has to be either the aforementioned or Brisbane Road - at least at Pompey they put a roof (of sorts) over the wall, you just piss on the back of the stand at Orient.

Overall though, Luton takes some beating - apart from being in about the most unpleasant place in England, where gangs of feral children rule the streets, you have to go through someone's house to get there, the seats would be digging into an especially small midget's knees, the stewards are cocks and one side's just a row of ramshackle boxes. And we lost thanks in part to a joke ref who sent Leon off. Marvellous place.

The old Bolton ground

handy yellow line on the terrace defining where you should stand if you wanted to see the pitch

shithole pub nearish the station for an hour or two before the game - even shitholes deserve saving

FA cup 3rd round - cold, miserable

racial chants on the way back to the station under police escort

McCarthy handball giving away a penalty 1-0, out of the cup

Bolton, it's not all Peter Kay


However, Withdean's the worst ground I've seen a game in

 

[Safeway]

Ooo, just remembered Craven Cottage before they did it up. The open away terrace was not only SLOPED, but made with PEBBLEDASH, so when it rained you had a job staying upright even when stood still, let alone if there was any movement in the crowd. Very dangerous.

*cough* Withdean *cough*

-edit-

Whoops! Sorry, just read the post again.

For me it has to be a toss up between Swindon and Pompey. Both are open ended and both have shit toilet and pie facilities.

Brentford only escapes due to the pubs on each corner.

I saw my very first football match at Sincil Bank, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. And besides, there are so many other much, much worse grounds - your reasons seem a bit shite, really. Are you seriously trying to claim it is windier and colder than Boundary Park? Or that it is the only place we have played shit football? Or that it is the only place you've had things chucked at you by tossers, northern or otherwise?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I did not say Lincoln's was my least favourite...I was just following on from someone elses post.

I started off my saying Grimsby was my least favourite.

 

[Yorkie]

Toilets - has to be Valley Parade. I've seen better in European camp sites.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Sudbury has to be up there - the away end a roped off field, and the away seats 12 plastic chairs from a school in a striped marquee.

 

[Safeway]

That is the coldest ground in the world EVER. BRRRRRRRRR. :wind:

(Though curiously last season it was also the hottest I've ever been at a match.)

 

[Alby]

Sudbury was crap too.

Drawing with the carrot crunchers and that one coach train that ferried us back to the main line. Was an excuse to go back to the pub for a few drinks and wait for the queue to die down.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Griffin park !!!!!!!

God i hate that place!!!!!

 

[bhaexpress]

Wigan's old ground, Springfield Park. I also reckon that Underhill was poor if only for the fact that it only had two turnstyles for travelling fans.

Colchester's ground is also poor but there again, Oldham is bad thanks to the fact it's so high above sea level and very windy.
