Jerry St Clair Griffin Park has everything. 4 pubs within 50 yards of the ground, nearby train station, 500 people in the old away end (the covered terrace) can sound like 50,000.

Alsoo have a soft spot for the Abbey Stadium (Cambridge Utd), the only league ground where I've had to cross a stream to get to the away turnstiles.



Agreed - without wishing to sound patronising, Brentford is a great little ground for all the reasons above. Our game there at the end of the 01/02 season is still my favourite ever away trip.

Abbey stadium is also a first as its the only one where its possible to ride a horse to the ground.

Seconded. Great for pink shirt spotting in the home end :lol:
