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

Biggest sh*t hole of a ground you've been to.
Which professional football grounds have you been to around the UK which you can honestly say are, er, a bit of a sh*thole?
Burnley is definitely one, felt like a chicken coop when you were in the stand. Also loved how Cowdenbeath football ground doubled up as a stock car racing track some nights!

At Fellowes Park, Walsall. A sheet of asbestos slipped form the roof and shattered on the terracing just in front of us, thus occasioning a hearty blast of "Walsall's ground is falling down, falling down, falling down......."
The pre-fire Valley Parade was an absolute relic. Doncaster's Belle View made you feel somewhat unsafe, and before they did it up, at Vale Park you were stood on a gravel banking.
However, the award just has to go to this fecking dump.

Springfield's grass bank and half-size main stand were laughable - unless it were raining.
Got wetter than I ever have on the embankment at Leeds Road (for our younger viewers, that's Huddersfield's ex) - when we won 3-0 in (as I recall) the gingham shirts. Beautiful summer's day in God's country, threw it down unremittingly as soon as we crossed the border.
Bloomfield Road, anyone? Vast crumbling embankment with twisted rusting metal thrusting out of it?
Worst view? That scratching-shed chicken-run on the corner at the Baseball Ground (never a nice place) when home fans took both ends in the 90s.
Southend wasn't great, but it was built by the fans, so I'll let 'em off.
Halifax?
Hartlepool, about which Wilfred Owen could have been thinking when he wrote "Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knife us"

They're the worst grounds that you've been to, Batty? Good God! When I first went to Bramhall Lane, it was, without doubt, the most magnificent stadium in which I'd ever stood. Irrespective of us getting dicked 5-0. You don't know you're fecking born, Sunshine! Don't it go to show?!Batman wrote:Leeds is another, Bramall Lane one more, and fecking Boleyn Ground is shite too.
