Only went once - First season they were up. Seem to recall the toilets were sunk low into the terrace with no roof covering them.Anyone remember the old Den. Now that was a shithole like being in a prison of war camp
Only went once - Xmas time 1995 or 1996. Stood on that (half) terrace. I think it was officially the coldest day in the history of football.Anyone remember the old Bolton Ground. Went there once and sat in a porter cabin style tiny stand, right behind the goal. Was a cracking view.
Only ever went there once also - Had no intention of going but got a comp off Micky Gynn the night before down at Whitley members club.Plough lane .....that was a tip ..then Wimbledon went to play at Sellhurst Park
First visit to Molyneux 1981 and stood on that terrace - Second only to the Holte end in size. It was huge.Remember the old South Bank at Molineux . Massive 20,000 standing only terrace. I Remember about 500 of us being surrounded there and watching the whole game shitting myself that we'd get a kick in.
Managed to get back to the station unscathed
Same here, I was well up for it. Got to Bermondsey, was perfecting my 1980's 'arm swing' march (WTF was that all about?) then realised I'd left my face mask at home so I just came back. Gutted.I’d planned to take them all on this season at their manor...bloody lockdown saving them from my dukes! Cant be bothered now...
Was that the 2-1 win with Salako & Whelan getting the goals? You're right, it was cold and even surpassed the away end at Roker Park in the League Cup when Speedie was sent off.Only went once - Xmas time 1995 or 1996. Stood on that (half) terrace. I think it was officially the coldest day in the history of football.
Disgusting... I think someone should dig up the graves of the committee members so they can conduct a disciplinary on you!!!Only ever went there once also - Had no intention of going but got a comp off Micky Gynn the night before down at Whitley members club.
Of which I was never a member.
Yes the less said about Gillingham the better. What about Kenilworth Rd and the mess they made of that or Orient and "we can see you washing up"Love Hillsborough barely changed in 40 years (seats aside). Bramhall Lane and City Ground get a mention.
But don't get me started on Priestfield- Gillingham.
Stanley weren’t that far off being a championship team. Can’t have been a ground that bad at this level for ages.Plenty of traditional grounds that have been modernised next season. Bramall Lane, City Ground, Craven Cottage, Hawthorns etc...
I miss some of the really small grounds in League 2. Accrington Stanley was an experience!

Don't miss Filbert street a right shit hole.
Remember going to Bramall lane when it was standing behind the goal think Sean Flynn scored in a 1-0 win.Love Hillsborough barely changed in 40 years (seats aside). Bramhall Lane and City Ground get a mention.

First time I went to Hillsbrough their Kop end had no roof and was huge same with Villa went there in the 60s and there was no roof on the Holte either it makes the ends look massive. Also the old Valley stadium v Charlton that ground was massive record gate 75000 nearly all terracing there were three sides of the ground all as big as the Holte or the Wolves South Bank and the one pokey grand stand.Love Hillsborough barely changed in 40 years (seats aside). Bramhall Lane and City Ground get a mention.

1st time I went to Millmoor was in LC in 86-7 (iirc we signed Emerson shortly after) and I thought it was a tidy ground. Went back 1st time round in Championship and it was looking very tired.Shitholes I’ve been to:
The old Den
The Dell
Kenilworth Road
The manor ground
Priestfield
Scarborough
Plough lane
Millmoor
Sutton Utd
Northampton’s old ground/Cricket pitch
Wrexham
Filbert shite
Hereford
Baseball ground
Memorial stadium
Stockport
Oldham
Ninian park
Burnden park
Yes agree Rodney parade was something else especially in the rain and that night with the rain at Ashton gate 2-1 win Moussa and Webster scoring in our Brazil kit!!1st time I went to Millmoor was in LC in 86-7 (iirc we signed Emerson shortly after) and I thought it was a tidy ground. Went back 1st time round in Championship and it was looking very tired.
I would also add The Vetch Field, Ashton Gate (before re-development) and Newport’s current ground to your list.

Yes that was massive but I think the largest of that type of terrace was the Kippax at Maine Road that ground held over 80000 again mainly terracing , Tottenham’s Shelf was large too.The old kop at St Andrews used to hold 48,000
Got to include Layer Road surelyShitholes I’ve been to:

Just ones of the top of my list there’s so many.Got to include Layer Road surely

I first went in the late sixties, around bonfire night it was. Bloody Wolves fans were launching rockets at us from the North Bank, the length of the pitch. Then they charged but were stopped at the halfway line by the feds.First visit to Molyneux 1981 and stood on that terrace - Second only to the Holte end in size. It was huge.
Stopped by the Feds?I first went in the late sixties, around bonfire night it was. Bloody Wolves fans were launching rockets at us from the North Bank, the length of the pitch. Then they charged but were stopped at the halfway line by the feds.
Don't know how we made it back to the station in one piece after the game.
Happy days!
Edit: Just checked. It was 67/68, and we lost 2-0 (I coulda sworn it was 2-1).
