    Least Dislike as got to be Watford - Such a boring place with very little around the ground - and we dont seem to win very often

    The stadium i enjoy visiting the most is Dundee United (Great little ground with a decent atmosphere) and Anfield

    Least - St James Park Newcastle, perched 5 mile up, right load of ****.

    Favourite - Used to be West Brom, just liked the ground and we always used to be **** faced in lichfield beforehand.

    Wembley! or Millenium stadium... Also a big fan of Emirates and Etihad...

    Worst has to be Hillsborough, always a great atmosphere but very old stadium and space in/out of stadium and on concorses is uncomfortably for large crowds.

    Dislike: Carrow Road. Always lose. Like: Portman Road. We always lose but the Ipswich fans are superb and it's close to home.

    Oh additional mention for Forest away. It makes me really fed up to hear our idiots singing 'scab' chants. Think the last time I was there I said it would be the last time.

    Got to agree regarding the Scab chant, thing is most of them that sing it wasn't even born when it was going off

    That may be true, but I'd argue the majority know why it's sung and are still seeing the effects of what happened then in their lives today.

    That also be true mate but it would be interesting to see how many of those fans we are singing to are also suffering the effects in their lives today for what their dads did

    Best: I've always had a soft spot for The Valley and The Hawthorns. Don't mind Griffin Park (possibly because of the pub on each corner). Quite like Brisbane Road. Millennium Stadium was lovely.

    Dislikes. Hillsborough. Always hated Blundell Road. selhurst park is a reight shitehole and in the a resend of nowhere. Number 1 would have to be Loftus Road though.

    Dislike Portsmouth. Always lose, always get wet and always have to take your life into your own hands when trying to make it back to the station in one piece.

    Like Charlton. Always my favourite London away fixture, even last season when the game was called off. We all ended up in a right state after spending the day boozing round Borough Market.

    Fair Point, mate. I'm sure some will know nothing about it and weren't involved but then again some might even have been on strike themselves.

    Think the effects are still felt in this area and despite what people think I reckon a lot of the 'kids' who sing it know the meaning. I also don't really understand the 'weren't even born' argument.

    Then again it's still just a song sung at football. At Halifax we were singing about Kennedy's haircut making him look like a girl.

    Best: Preston, nice boozer up road and always a good atmosphere.
    Worst: Donny, no pubs, terrible atmosphere and rubbish Lego esque stadium.

    Hate Celtic Park, we don't have the best of records there.

    Like Oakwell, always means I see my English team and get to meet up with friends. In Scotland Dens Park. The local derby great atmosphere and we always win. LOL

    BTW B_L nice comment on Tannadice mate. Next time you visit give me a pm. Suppose if its to see THE Rangers it might be a while. LOL :tongue:

    Isn't that the bizarre setup where Dundee FC's ground is about 500 yards away?

    You would have thought a ground share might have been more sensible.

    Dislike: The Shay from yesteryear(whilst still being used for speedway), Victoria Park, Roker Park, Blundell Park, Boundary Park all are freezing cold irrespective of the time of year. Also, Wembley after suffering two defeats there when we were so close both to a return to the Premier League and an FA Cup Final.
    Like: Bootham Crescent, Boothferry Park as we always seemed to win there.

    Didn't enjoy Penton Park, didn't feel safe despite the bus only being outside the ground.

    Enjoy going to Pride Park, never had an ounce of trouble with the Derby fans, and it's a good ground which Is always at least 3/4 full.

    Gloria if you consider that to be bizarre if you were to check out google maps and view Tannadice, directly across the street is another ground. Its Gussie Park now United's all weather training ground but at the turn of the 20th century it was the home ground of another local football team, now defunct. The name of which escapes me but yes 3 football grounds in the one street.

    Dislike - Portsmouth Bristol City - just really poor grounds in need of knocking down and rebuilding and Wembley - always lose and I dont like the new stadium
    also dislike Brighton - the ground is OK but getting to and from it is a real pain - worst ever stadium was its predecessor the Withdean

    Like Anfield and Milennium ( always win ) have a soft spot for the Valley and I also like Swindon
