They make some of those grounds look quite respectable. Plough lane, the Dell and Ayrsome Park were horrible grounds to go to particularly before it went all-seating.
I'll give them Maine road and Highbury. I do wonder about West Ham fans and how they'll feel a few years down the road if they can't sell out the Olympic stadium. Don't think anywhere beats Upton Park for a night game in terms of atmosphere - in and out the ground.

West Ham's move is very like our move to the Ricoh. If they get relegated they could have similar problems. Although they do seem to have a much better rental deal than us.
The Baseball Ground, ugh. Right grot-hole, and I only had the pleasure of going once, thankfully. Cup tie in '97 I think it was, we lost 3-2 after some atrocious refereeing by Danson.
