Of more recent grounds, Colchester is awful. Completely soulless and in the middle of nowhere.

I'd go as far as saying the majority of all new grounds built within the last 20 years or so. Exceptions being those of an original design I.e Amex, The Reebok, Mcalphine, City of Manchester, etc

The Withdean (although, to be fair, it was never really a football ground anyway) and the Manor Ground (for all round general dilapidation, rust, crumbling concrete, decay and awfulness).  Kenilworth Road comes close, but the fact you have to walk through a tunnel between two terraced houses to get to the away end redeems it for me.

went to somerton park in the seventies for a FA Cup game and I think it had the speedway stadium around the pitch. Also went to Fellow park when we got beat 4-1 and Town fans were getting chucked out for baiting the wallsall fans over an outbreak of chicken pox within the Brum area

I remember that Walsall game well. Got banged up and only let out after the coaches had left to go back to Swindon.

Luckily with the number of Town fans also banged up managed to get a lift back.

It got very lively that evening

Worst ground that I have ever been to was the old wigan stadium (springfield park) my memories are from the 1987 play off semi final where it poured with rain all of the way up the M6 and we were put on a muddy grass bank behing the goal with a small cowshed type stand at the top of the bank and to make it worse we were 2-0 down after 15 miniutes but scored three second half goals to win 3-2 then drawing 0-0 in the second leg to set-up the mamouth games against Gillingahm

haha, springfield park was a great ground! never went in the away there, but was in the home end a few times with my dad - the terracing was great, you could walk round half the ground with one ticket.
