Really?

That is pure bollocks.

That 'survey' loses all credibility when taking into account the County Ground's accessibility score. You can't get much better where that is concerned.

Sour grapes from Norvern Monkeys probably based upon us charging them £25 for entry fee. There are many many grounds much worse than the County Ground on ALL those categories.

Look at League 2, Fratton Park is awarded 1 star, Fleetwood and Chesterfield get 5 stars..  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

It doesn't make any sense that the CG would receive the lowest score in every single area and be the only team of all to do so. Especially for accessibility!

Was just going to post that, more bollocks given that Oxford was rated 5. Complete joke.

Brentford and Oldham 5 stars for atmosphere?  ???

Well people think the town is shit and we are too expensive.  So I can see the point on town and vcalue there.  Also there is a big confusing roundabout outside it which we are quite associated with so acessability they may be thinking of that.  But frankly, Ive been to a lot worse in this league.  Walsall is hardly nirvana.  Crawley is equally shit in every way.

It's a piss take.  Not saying that the County Ground is perfect, but when it scores 1/5 for accessibility and the Priestfield 'Stadium' scores a perfect 5/5, you know something's not right.

And if anyone who had ever tried using the train to reach Oxford's ground had taken part in the survey, I similarly suspect that their accessibility score might also not have been a 5/5 either.

Oh...and Town/City:

Notts Forest    5/5
Notts County   3/5

Looks like the vote could have been rigged by Oldham fans then.  :hmmm:

Haha, a nothing survey  :)

It obviously isn't the worst ground in the football league, but accessibility aside, it's hard to argue with those scores.

If I was an away fan voting in this having paid £25 to sit in a shite old stand then I would probably slate it as much as possible.

Very true.  It's a 1970s ground with 1970s facilities.  I don't think anyone would argue that it should be appearing near the top of a list like that.  Just not at the very bottom.

Oldham must be the fucking coldest place to watch football in the world.

Perhaps their entire away support at the CG voted - all 221 of the cunts

Pathetic

To me accessibility is how far from the train station is it, but for most its about parking outside the ground so I can see how that might get a bad mark.

They get their own fucking bar, and a roof! That's luxury, God damn it!

Perhaps they expected their own personal whippet to bring off during the match.

Eeeeee bah gum!

Maybe that Twat PNEthor got his bum chums to do a TEF voting stylie

While our 287 at their place was fucking superb.

Fucking right

This.  Plus, wasn't the thing about our 'extortionate' prices debunked by another similar (but less biased) survey a few months ago when it was found we were charging about 50p more to away fans than most other teams in the same league (admittedly that survey factored in the cost of a programme and a cup of coffee)?  Can't seem to find the link though.

Wolverhampton gets 5/5 for the Town


Speechless !

Seems to be sour grapes by teams who lost judging by the way the stats go. How can you give a bottom rating for 'accessibility' for The County Ground but 4 for Colchester? Makes a mockery of the whole thing.

It was 297, and it was a bloody cold afternoon a week before Christmas.
And Oldham scoring 4 for town was about 8 too many!

1/5 for food is generous

5/5 for Wolverhampton is hilarious mind

They are right about the food. Its fucking dire

Picky cunt.

I saw Oldham at number 2 and didn't look any further.

Millwall were bottom too  :hmmm:

I wonder how many people took part in the survey? Not many would be my guess.

We were like Spartans that day and don't you forget it!

This article says that overall the K*ss*m is one of the best grounds in the country, better than 18 of the 20 premier league stadiums.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Well it does have a veranda at one end, light and airy appeals  :wink:

Given the categories that people were asked to decide about, I can see why your ground has come out with low ratings. The food and drink was a particular shambles at the derby.

Be fair, it takes time to piss in all that beer and shit in all those pies.

Yep i had Caviar and a nice Salmon and Cucumber sarnie at yours....was pissed off though cos the Champers was a tad warm.

So was the team if I recall.....

We have 4 (FOUR) sides to our ground.

FOUR

Fuck em they're all cunts. Its a nothing survey anyway.

Was this survey made up by that half bit reporter who said something like "cheats do prosper" What a load of nonsense !

the atmos at there 3 sided stadium was intimidating compared to the dire shit at the CG, I agree with the survey on the atmosphere

How did Oxford score on "tolerance of child rapist gangs" ?

That's a strange way for your catering company to fulfill their big contract, I was sat in a home stand after all.

We know you're a Swindon fan really :)

You've probably only been to the k*ss*m for the derby against Swindon, normally at 3 sided grounds the atmosphere is lost out where the 4th stand should be

But they had about 6  stands at the Manor. :)

And all of them were shite

I'm pretty sure it was more than that.

Cant see any other reason to be at the shithole

Yes, but my point was our 4 sided ground didn't have the atmosphere against Oxford that there's did

...and we all know the reasons.  It's been rehearsed on here and elsewhere a million times before.  Hating Swindon is an integral part of supporting Oxford, to a much greater degree than the other way around.  When we visit, you can guarantee a hostile atmosphere there.  Less so when any of the 90 clubs visit.  A lot of their own fans admit that there is an atmosphere problem there, generally speaking - and for all its faults, would gladly have the Manor back.

I love this survey. It's so accurate.

Bristol Rovers - Town/City *****
Bristol City - Town/City ***

And Yeovil get ***** in the same cattergory.
