Quite like Burnley for no particular reason, just feels like a proper old ground.

Yeah smaller grounds not too far from pubs and transport links. Brentford is a good one. Also like Millwall for the atmosphere and handy location for me.

Won't deny its an awful place but it just feels like a football ground not a modern leisure centre.

Brentford, Fulham, QPR, West Brom, Man U all good.

Brentford overall - the memories ... the pubs ....

Fulham
Hawthawns with a prematch in the Vine
Quite enjoyed Chelsea too, shame about the rip off ticket price (meaning I won't do it again)

AFC Wimbledon. A smashing little club.

Real ale in the club house, terracing, in London (just). What's not to like?

Two good trips to Leicester, once when new ground, when my garden shed was sung a lot. And one a bit more memorable in 2006

Always cringe at that chant. Shows how much football has changed, now the only people who can afford to go are those that have a garden shed the size of a football stadium.

Taking the journeys aside Tranmere, Doncaster, Blackburn and Newcastle are my favourites. Palace and Millwall are usually enjoyable days out in the capital but I have to say most London games are usually good fun.

These findings are all based on my alcohol consumption and drinking hole establishments located near to the ground.

Got to agree with everyone loving up Fulham and Brentford.

Personally I get irked by games which you feel should be local but take longer to get to than they should. Palace, Watford, Millwall, I'm looking at you.

Also have to agree with Kes' comments about the Madejski. It's hardly the only instance in the football league of such a soulless experience but I doubt any eg. Yeovil fans are currently sat on Glove Anyone? going "yeah, Reading's a cracking day out"

I also like WBA for some reason. Really can't say why.
