Biggest sh*t hole of a ground you've been to.

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

I think Batman has just listed all the clubs he doesn't like. Which wouldn't surprise me. IQ of a pea, that fella.

That takes the biscuit
Considered mentioning Bower Fold, where we once made good on a drunken bet to watch the reserves play Oldham, but it was actually a tidy old ground

I've only ever seen us play away in a pre-season friendly at Bury (I think), but, as well as the Darlo trip, I can also claim to having seen us play a first round away leg at Burnden ( v Chester) so scrrrrreeeeeeeeeew you! :D
We went to Queen of the South, playing Ride Of The Valkyries as we crossed the border (quite coincidentally, we didn't think we were invading or owt)

Not to mention the narrow alleyway you had to squeeze down to get to the visitors enclosure. The wall of the stand is almost in the gardens of the houses opposite!

That stadium is god awful. narrow concourses, stained smelly troughs in the bathrooms, and it's in Oakland not so nice area. All concrete. Plus that stupid unusable bleacher section used for the NFL games. It's a shithole.

Having only been to The Reebok and Craven Cottage, I'd have to say Craven Cottage.

*EDIT* Also been to Celtic Park and Hampden Park, so still Craven Cottage.

Which Fulham game did you see, HP? Last season's, with Joof's penalty negated by Faye's brainfart? I ask as my Chicagoan brother-in-law and nephew came to that one with me, proper little US delegation... :mrgreen:

Afraid it wasn't a Bolton game DSB. I saw Celtic play Fulham in a friendly there as I like Celtic and it was a short distance from the hostel I was staying at. I am fairly sure that the Celtic fans outnumbered the Fulham fans, yikes.

How does one lead to the other eh dickhead?

Surely the dislike of a club will make my opinion of their shit tip ground biased.

It's still my opinion.

AT, I don't supposed you ever visited the old Kingdome in Seattle? Total hellhole. Ugly as sin, long walks around the concourses, and the falling ceiling tiles that made every Mariners game a risky endeavor.
