    City of Manchester Stadium is......

    ...awesome, but I went there for the Manchester derby when City won 4-1 and the atmosphere was electric. My mate who supports City said that it's more often than not like a morgue there. My other fave away grounds are Mould Trafford and I really liked Burnden Park.

    Worst ground - Chesterfield, Cambridge and York are all pretty bad but at least you can see there. My least favourite has got to be Hillsborough. One of the best stadiums in the country my arse. You can never see a thing because of the amount of pillars in the way.

    Oh, and Zenit's ground is a bit of a shithole too, plus it's full of armed police which is slightly scary.

    Best - Old Trafford for it's size and history . However , despite being a miserable , old git , no ground gives me a bigger tingle down my spine than Oakwell .
    Worst - Take your pick from Springfield Park , Plough Lane and The Shay . Never been to all three without ending up covered head to toe in mud !!

    Best- Olympic stadium in Berlin. Brilliant couldron of football with superb views frrom every part of the ground. Outside its like something out of a museum with the olympic pool still there.</p>

    Worst- Layer Road Colchester. Worst for away fans imo, only one toilet, awkward to get to from station. Only good thing about it is the Dragoon pub with decent scran.</p>

    Palace is bad.....

    ....mainly due to the fact that even once you've got to London it takes another four hours to get to the ground.

    Grimsby is quite a frightening place, have never felt anything other that extremely unsafe there.

    Bloody hell. It's a 10 minute walk from Norwood Junction, what route do you take.

    That explains it. I always park up at Brent X and use public transport from there. It saves a lot of hassle.

    I used to live opposite the Sainburys at Palace. It's actually not bad for trains, Norwood, Thornton Heath and Selhurst are all 10 mins away. It's more the view there and the prices were always shocking.

    The Hand Stadium, home of Clevedon Town - not very nice.

    Best: Old Trafford

    Worst: It's a tie between, Haigh Avenue, Southport and Somerton Park, Newport County.

    Having said that, the grounds we visited in the late 1960's and 70's, following Barnsley, were not great places to watch football. Though, I still reckon the Old Show ground in Scnuthorpe was better than the new one.
