Worst Grounds

[Topcat]

Not so sure if things were much safer after 1976 as I remember town fans getting attacked near fratton park and there are numerous stories of normal fans getting attacked along the route to the old den in the 8o's

in the ground it got safer. dont think there would be any groups of swindon at these grounds pre 76. i didnt see any. though to be fair it probably wasnt till early eighties that there was proper isolated segregation.

yeah I agree it was probably mid 80's that the grounds were made safe inside as I can sadly remember when groups of away fans would quietly meet up in the town end before kick off then the fighting would start scaring the living daylights out of normal supporters who were there just to watch a footbal match

Especially after a 4-0 win!

The allotment walk was classic.  The low tin roof helped the away support generate a fair amount of noise too.

I like most fantastically bad grounds(like Layer Road,The Den etc) but never really enjoyed Kenilworth Road.

For feeling a bit uneasy in and around it,Ayresome Park has got to be up there imo.

Boothferry Park 1995.  The supermarket as probably not quite so bad as the one Bolton had (that one actually cut your view from the other corner) but it combined with pretty much an entire side stand (bar about 25 yards worth) being sectioned off as too dangerous to use anymore.  Think Hull were on the brink at this point and couldn't afford to fix the ground.  It just all combined to create a very sad place to be, along with it being in Hull as well.

Went there once when we won 3-2. Went on a minibus and this was not the cleverest mode of transport. I had my Pampers on that day. Middelsborough itself is like an episode of the Walking Dead.
