Best and Worst League Stadium memories

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure I still have scars on my shins after attempting to sit down at Loftus Road last season.

ha yeah I tried the same at Half time not advisable unless you are about 5ft

Oakwell in the 80's pissing against a wall in the open air, no urinals, no drains, no roof..............they were the actual toilets.

 

Loads of shit grounds during the 80's.  The Manor Ground at Oxford.  It seemed to have about twenty different stands & each one held about 50 people.  Looked like it was designed by a 5 year old & made of lego.

 

Always liked Villa Park & Goodison Park.  Highbury & Craven Cottage were decent.

Peterborough and Luton probably qualify for my best and worst, I do enjoy a shithole. Enjoyed Blackpool, Southend, Scunthorpe, leyton orient for similar reasons.

Stockport in league 1 was horrible, Even for a shithole. All I could think off was how have we become shit enough to be playing here.

Rotherhams temporary Don Valley stadium, Jeff Schlupps game.

Nice enough facilities I suppose, will always remember looking to my right and seeing thousands of empty seats that were probably last used 20+ years ago. Quite a strange experience after all the old traditional grounds I've been to previously.

Colchesters old ground was worst ive ben to. Tiny squashed terrace and a cage at the sides meant i couldn't see half the pitch. It was january think we drew hume scored.

Really enjoyed Edgar street at Hereford in that L1 season and other small grounds like Yeovil.

Hate Ashton Gate, horrific stadium with poles blocking your view most of the time

Goodison is a state, the fans hardly help though

Abbey Stadium, Cambridge. What a shit hole. Stood at the front, the paint on the railings was still wet. We got spanked 5-1

Sweet revenge in the play offs later that season.

Any old FT's remember Holker Street late 60's, long journey, rubbish roads, no facilities at the ground, probably still mostly uncovered now. Took us hours to get their in an old hillman minx that weighed a ton. My overriding memory is of a grimey unloved ground. At least we won 2-1.

Agree Harlow was another dump, with even worse memories score wise. Of course in the top five worst stadiums must be The Baseball Ground and Highfield Road. Grubby horrible little places.

Internationally speaking, Luxembourg away takes some beating. Bascially no shelter or covering, it rained all match, didn't really mind getting drenched, but couldnt even get a hot drink. Obviously we won, but only 3-0.

Never really been to a ground that I thought was brilliant. Emirates is user friendly but generates no fear factor among away players / fans.

Fratton park toilets take some beating nowadays lol

Can't be as bad as Peterborough. Last time I went the urinal was a hole in the ground, which overflows after 10 minutes and leaves everyone paddling in their own piss

Roker park had a good atmosphere inside.

 

Anyone remember the old Burnden Park with the supermarket?

The Shabby.Where the away fans are situated is the best part of the stadium now.

Gillingham away under Adams (I think) .Lost 3-2. Some of the worst bogs I've ever seen .Terrible .

Seem to remember going to this, Marlon King with the winner? Have memories of Alan Rogers swinging some dangerous crosses in lol. Quite a few of us kids put right at the front, god knows how I even made it to the toilet and back

I'm not sure but I think we were winning 2-1 and conceded 2 late goals . Strange place Gillingham.

Give me a shithole stadium like Luton, Peterborough, Scunthorpe any day over a modern stadium that you get nowadays.

This! Character/Passion/Actually being rained on. Please elaborate with an experience or the kids will all go to identikit stadiums with clappers and never know.
