    The Blues ground

    Needs a lot of safety work done, could have 2 stands closed next season.

    Guess they could always do a swap and use the Ricoh on alternate weeks 🤣

    I’ve always liked St Andrews, fantastic and atmospheric ground and a great away day.

    The first time that I went to St.Andrews was when my dad took me to a rugby match there, Midland Counties against South Africa. I seem to remember a flour throwing incident over the apartheid issue. The midlands rugby grounds were considered to be too small for the expected crowd. I remember smoke coming over the stand at one end from a steam train going past! Good atmosphere in the place but it’s always been a bit ramshackle.

    I remember when Wolves had two sides closed and they couldn't fill one.

    Tilton Rd was a fantastic away day for fans.

    The new Railway Stand is excellent but the old Tilton was my favourite.

    My uncle is a Blues supporter and always goes on about this so called gypsy curse!

    Never particularly liked the old St Andrews. It always seemed dark and dingy. Then again I used to know a Wolves fan who felt much the same about the old Hawthorns and told me it was referred to as the black Lubyanka. Naturally I always loved our ground but could find others a little odd sometimes eg Molinuex with the unusual looking stand, Villa Park with many things pristinely painted claret and blue. There is no place like home.
