Most visted: palace, brizzle & fester
most enjoyable away days:brizzle,loftus road, spurs and pompey (spurs and plastic hoops do fall down a notch due to appaling beer)
best away/home fans:liverpool (the ones who arent overly arrogant and actually know their game)
worst away days:birmingham,wolves,cardiff and middlesborough
worst away/home fans: west ham, chelski and arsenal by a country mile!!... although speaking from previous locational knowledge.. coventry and fester fans are deluded little bog water dwellers too!

Hmmmmm, tough call as can't help but be massively influenced by previous results.

1) Gresty Road
2) Oakwell
3) Meadow Lane

Favourite ground in country (although only ever sat with home fans) is Goodison Park by an absolute mile.

Certainly not Reebok Stadium, but thats probably because we lost 3-0. Nice views though.

Yeah - I've not been anywhere near that many times but it has to be right up there in my most-visited grounds.

Thomas L'Heureux I quite like Kenilworth Road for some reason.


I h8 that ground!

Griffin Park is my stock answer so i'll stick with that.


I can imagine leg-room being a problem for you, m8


Exactly Tom, it's an absolute nightmare.

I also base the quality of a ground on the amount of leg room available.

Craven Cottage when it was terracing on away end. Or Griffin park because of the 4 pubs and tight away end (although I think that might be a home end now) and Villa Park because the place is immense. Stood on the Holte End when it was a terrace - just huge.

Fondest memories are the Walkers, of course, and Dean Court when we scored that 'phantom' goal in early 90s promotion season. Played at Dean Court too. And the Rec. And Elm Park. What a career!

Would that be the Gilkes phantom goal when a fan kicked it in as we prepared for an invasion? :lol:
Im told that appeared on Ceefax as "Gilkes 90" before being corrected

Correct Tony (great name by the way, remember that fella from Chris Morris etc).

For a few minutes I honestly thought Reading had scored. Although we were a little bit widdled.
