92 Club

[rfpompey]

How many have you completed and what is the best and worst grounds following Pompey?
I am at 55 grounds, best being Bradford as 2 key matches with great results, worst Sillyhampton of course with a special mention to Coventry

Layer Rd was the worst I've ever been to. The view at Cambridge United (4 days after our Villa Park semi final loss) was dreadful. Happy memories of The Dell as the last time I ever went we won 2.0

Have been to Wrexham's Racecourse and that is pretty dire. Remember Seamer Road (Scarborough) being not too hot either. The Shay was not brilliant in the 60s, but may have improved.

Nearer to home, Sutton Utd's ground, where I used to do athletics in the 70s, has been a grim memory. We used to do weight training (Commonwealth Gold medallists and allsorts cheek by jowl) in a little hut which now is condemned and used for pigeons! And when you watched the football, you stood on a pile of old railway sleepers.

Out of the current 92 I've done 80 due to Aldershot, Bristol Rovers and Torquay dropping out of the league.

The grounds I've got left:

Luton
Cambridge United
Dagenham & Redbridge
Chesterfield
Walsall
Gillingham
Port Vale
Bradford
Rotherham
Sheffield Wednesday
Huddersfield
Blackpool

Should do the top 3 this season, then it's a case of cup draws and going back up the leagues for the other 9.

Best ground I've been to was a full Bramall Lane back in the Prem. Fans created a great atmosphere and the ground itself is a nice mixture of traditional and modern.

Worst is probably Exeter simply because their away end is dreadful. A shallow open terrace with deathtrap stairs to the shed bogs. Heard the seats in the old stand are awful too.

Middlesbrough is also awful for the opposite reasons. Huge soulless bowl with no atmosphere and no pubs nearby. Also managed to monsoon there in August too FFS!
