Really? Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Bukkake Regiment on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:20:22 That is pure bollocks.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:20:51 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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:21:52 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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Bukkake Regiment on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:22:02 Look at League 2, Fratton Park is awarded 1 star, Fleetwood and Chesterfield get 5 stars.. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:22:06 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!

Post by: ghanimah on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:22:19 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. Was just going to post that, more bollocks given that Oxford was rated 5. Complete joke. Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Bukkake Regiment on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:22:42 Brentford and Oldham 5 stars for atmosphere? ???
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Saxondale on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:25:21 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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:25:42 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. Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:31:27 Oh...and Town/City:
Notts Forest 5/5 Notts County 3/5 Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:33:43 http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=42879
Quote PS Im also delighted that Swindon Town have achieved such an accurate result! Looks like the vote could have been rigged by Oldham fans then. :hmmm: Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: 4D on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:38:07 Haha, a nothing survey :)
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:38:15 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. Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:40:40 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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:44:51 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 Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: yeo on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:51:28 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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: LucienSanchez on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:52:14 They get their own fucking bar, and a roof! That's luxury, God damn it!
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:54:26 Perhaps they expected their own personal whippet to bring off during the match.
Eeeeee bah gum! Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: dave_bambers_right_sock on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 16:55:15 Maybe that Twat PNEthor got his bum chums to do a TEF voting stylie

Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Peter Gibbons on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 18:04:47 They get their own fucking bar, and a roof! That's luxury, God damn it! 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. Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 18:43:47 Wolverhampton gets 5/5 for the Town
Speechless ! Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 19:04:54 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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: cheltred69 on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 19:21:37 While our 287 at their place was fucking superb. 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! Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 19:55:24 1/5 for food is generous
5/5 for Wolverhampton is hilarious mind Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: tans on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 20:16:03 They are right about the food. Its fucking dire

Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: 4D on Thursday, June 20, 2013, 08:21:24 Millwall were bottom too :hmmm:
I wonder how many people took part in the survey? Not many would be my guess. Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Paolo69 on Thursday, June 20, 2013, 09:30:12 While our 287 at their place was fucking superb. We were like Spartans that day and don't you forget it! Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Lemis on Friday, June 28, 2013, 09:45:24 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:

Post by: Ardiles on Sunday, June 30, 2013, 18:53:51 ...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.
Title: Re: The County Ground the worst ground in the country! Post by: Crispy on Monday, July 1, 2013, 12:41:35 I love this survey. It's so accurate.
