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..

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.

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.

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

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.
