Talking of great grounds, I can't wait till easter monday. Never been to Hillsborough before and it's a proper old fashioned, big ground.
Been there a few times.... the first time i went in 1979 when we had a sniff of promotion.....the noise from the home end Hillsborough Kop is something i still remember. |

and don't forget Eastville with its dog and speedway track around it.
Somerton Park Newport, used to have a speedway/dog track around it....I liked going there. There is an outside chance of them coming up to L2 this year....I've been to there new ground, which is in fact a Withdean style athletics stadium, and marginally less shit. Fleetwood Town would be proper exciting next season. |

I was one of idiots nicked in 82 at Newport - not a good night but generally Newport is quite good fun, aLthuogh not been to the new one. Fleetwood is a right shithole - I was there a few months ago. |

Never been to Fleetwood....I'd imagine you could still get some decent fish and chips there. Apparently it's home to Lofthouse who make the Fisherman's Friend. |

Its just down the road from Blackpool and yes you can get good fish and chips but its a rough old place with some right rough old boys. I'd imagine its the kind of place you would need to be respectful and not take liberties. They're also doing a fair amount uf work around the town which meant that roadsigns were meaningless.
Now nearby Southport on the other hand would be a really good day out if they could make it back into the league. Much more genteel and laidback and considerably rmore affluent.

Remember games v Southport from the 60's, Eric Redrobe and Terry Harkin....but never went to Haig Street...Fleetwood would be random, not sure where they've come from. Wrexham would be a bummer never seen us even get a point there on something like 4 visits. |

I remember going to Wrexham when we were in league 2 last time. Absolute shit hole. Been there 5 mins, walking to pub, and some bloke winds his window down, drives past and shouts "fuck off you English wanker" !
Charming place.
