O/T:- Lost Football Grounds

[Elite_Pie]

I like the traditional four stand grounds from my early years, the new bowl type stadiums are not for me because I would hate to watch a game from behind the corner flag. The worst place I have been is when Rotherham played at the Don Valley stadium, the best newish ground was Burton Albion. It seemed like a smaller version of Meadow Lane.

The Don Valley was an awful ground and is certainly up there for me as well as one of the worst. Another one that's sprung to mind is Brighton's Withdean Stadium. Temporary stands, a racetrack around it like the Don Valley and completely devoid of any atmosphere and so far removed from the action it's easy to lose interest.

One of the worst bowls for me was Darlington's. A 25,000 seater stadium yet they only got crowds of a few thousand. In terms of % full compared to capacity it must have been one of if not the lowest in the football league. No atmosphere whatsoever.

Having said that great memories of us going in the Munto season when beat Darlington 5-0 and secured the league two title.

Field Mill away end in the 1990s - crumbling stands held up by scaffolding. Burnden Park, with a supermarket obscuring the view of part of the pitch from the away end. Filbert Street, home fans in the top tier pouring beer and I think somethings worse on the away fans below. There's been some doosies.
