Funny thing 'tho I liked visits to Crystal Palace & ended up living in Sydenham S26 for two years cos of it.



My favourite 3 grounds following Leeds ........

In UK of 1970/99....Anfield,Old Trafford & Highbury in the days when away fans stood behind the goal end.(Brian Flynn '81)!

In UK 2000/18....... Emirates,White Hart Lane & Selhurst Park.

In UK grounds now gone ......The Dell,Maine Road & Ninian Park.

In Europe ........ Real Madrid/Bernabéu 2001,Stadio Olimpico/Roma 2000 & San Siro AC Milan 2000.

Most farcical away ground moment ..... missing most of the second half at the Withdean stadium Brighton during our League 1 campaign season due to my gold bracelet lucky charm falling down the plug hole in a portable ladies loo at halftime ... stewards were not helpful so my brother basically dismantled all the pipe work to locate it amongst other 'items' within the piping.Now that ground/athletic track may be one of the worst venues for football I've visited.

Figuratively and actually a ****e ground then?

Certainly Not a Sloane Boy! My first stint at college was based in South Kensington, so I was there for a couple of years (the student housing has since been demolished - well, it was close to the Iran embassy!), West Kensington for one and then near Sherlock Holmes' gaff off of the Edgware Road for one.

I can't imagine that students can afford to live anywhere near there now.

I also went to our CL group game at the Bernabeu. Luckily it didn't matter that we lost - although there was definitely a weird bounce for one of their goals.

Happy (away) days.
