Alt Park, Canal St and McClaren field were not great.

Hilton Park and Watersheddings were not great but they didn't half create an atmospere.

Odsal and the Boulevard for the big boys were the worst !!

All the old grounds had atmosphere. Out of all the new grounds the only one I have been to that holds an atmosphere is the KC Stadium.

I still love going to the old traditional grounds - Keighley, Barrow, Workington & Haven etc.

Old Craven Park with all the dog poo round the back of the stand and then having to go back to the park with loads of tossers want to kick ten bells out of you.
Huyton - more tossers, with bricks this time.
Watersheddings - freezing most days.
Crystal Palace - awful.
Workington - worst in Cumbria, and that's saying something.
But it's got to be Odsal, just a big hole in the ground.

The last time we went to Workington (only time I've been) it was particulary grim due to the weather, the floodlights were swaying heavily and who can forget that big sheet of wood that flew off the stand. Not that Sunshine would have made it look any better.

Barrow has to be the only stadium in the country that can demolish a roof and call it an "improvement".

Odsal is great if you like big wet holes with no soul.

Brewery Field at Bridgend's only saving grace was having a decent clubhouse

Nottinghams ground was pretty rubbish but i used to hate Watersheddings.

We lived in Nottingham for about 12 years and on the day of that game we invited a load of friends and family down for lunch before the game and back to us after.
About 6 car loads came down the M1 in convoy and all met at our house. There was one couple who we didn't know and noticed that they hardly spoke to anyone. Off we went to the game again in convoy, I believe we won 70 something, and then back to our house. Not noticing this couple I asked around who they had come with. No one knew them. Apparently they had just seen these 5 or 6 cars with blue and white scarves out of the windows and followed them thinking they would be led to Nottinghamshire ground. Instead they got a free Sunday lunch.

Wasn't that the game Jason Ramshaw had his jaw broken?

Oldham, Watersheddings.

What a toilet that was. It was like being in an episode of Life on Mars everytime i went there.

Always cold too.
