I was in one pub it was probably one of the worst pubs I’ve been in, dingy dark scruffy place and the back room was full of unsavoury types.

At your ground such trades are conducted in the fields.

Open air concourse, 1 refreshment kiosk, only 4 turnstiles, relatively small toilets. Felt like it was done on the cheap. was down some random side road and felt isolated as fuck, made the area around the CBSA seem like a hive of activity.

Those were the things I liked about it. Like a bit of squalor in a football ground.

Worst feature was, like every new ground, stands are miles from the pitch. It seems the penny has finally dropped and someone has given the architects a dry slap. The newest grounds, Brentford and Spurs for example, have avoided this.

One chant that has always been on my hate list is, for example, singing to Ipswich fans, 'small town in Norwich, you're just a small town in Norwich' Utterly thick.... It doesnt take too many brain cells to sing 'Norfolk' rather than Norwich

Could have been the Brewer and Baker. What a boozer that was. Sticky floors and a whiff of despair. Loved that place.

Is a 'library' and every city or town a 'shithole' and everyone's fans are 'fucking shit'. Including ours as the away fans at the CBS tell us so too.

Really is so cringeworthy and getting on my nerves a bit now. I get it at some places like Mansfield, which really is a genuine shithole or even MK Dons whose fans are fucking shit, but it's become a staple part of our repertoire.

Going to Nottingham Forest or County, parking in one of the parks by the river Trent and then walking along the river to either stadium is one of the most pleasant and relaxing ways you could ever wish to get to any football stadium. Marvellous.

Good job you weren't at Birmingham v Cardiff yesterday.

The lovely lot from Wales were singing 'You're just a bus stop in Villa'

I kid you not.

Also, if we must call people inbred too, then I'm more of a fan of the Adams family 'your father is your brother, your sister is your mother', because 'yer moms yer dad' is just nonsense.

I Remember driving past one of the most desolate looking social clubs i've ever seen on our way to Oakwell, the Pogmore i think it was. You could smell the despair even with the windows up.

Nowt wrong with Barnsley, never seen a prostitute on the street, hardly any murders, zero gang crime, homelessness is minimal, has is drug use, compared to other towns, yes some villagers are run down, but that’s more to do with the government shitting on us constantly, rather than the people themselves bringing it down, there’s some very nice areas, and the countryside we’re surrounded by is stunning.

Yeh, the **** is a shithole is embarrassing, and is ironic. Remember going to Rochdale a few seasons ago, and the morons singing ’Rochdale’s a shithole’, and the Rochdale fans singing back ‘Rochdale’s a shit hole, we already know….’ Good on them, I thought, but a bit sad.

The prostitutes are still there, maybe not the same ones though. I lived round that area for a while until earlier in the year, it's even worse since the ground went.

So you lived in the area until recently, and state that the sex workers are probably different now,,,

That's because it's about the size of Nuneaton.

Also, the Gov shits on you no more than Cov.
