Strange grounds

[Rattea]

On a lighter not. I've been to a few. The vetch was about the oddest and Springfield Park Wigan. Have been to one of these but not for a game.

Interesting Rats...perhaps Singapore's 'The Float' could be a good idea for crowd control at the Russian World Cup - assuming anyone actually attends - or Millwall.

Do you still get herded along the side of a railway line to get in the Watford ground?

On a related subject does anyone remember the non league standard ground at Ripley (big main stand, fully enclosed, poss linked to the colliery) that is now nothing but feint marks on google maps? Up near what was is now the police hq

That's what they do at Milwall, herd you along with a fence between each set of fans, only to then stand on the same platform at the end. Madness. Can't recall Watford being like that, get off the train then walk through town... though I'd be coming from south side so maybe why.

Never been to a weird ground, though I was surprised when I saw an actual cottage in the corner at Craven Cottage, clue's in the title I suppose!

We were also having this discussion last week about matches away at Wigan's old Springfield park, I think we only ever had to go there twice. This was way before they became anybody and started buying their way up the leagues.

Slightly off topic but I am equally fascinated by stadium names. The Middlefart Stadium in Denmark, the ****dorf Stadium in Bern or the ****hede Cricket Ground in India. Not forgetting Indiana University's Kuntz Stadium.
