Accrington
Shrewsbury from last season stick out.

Also, Feethams wasn't exactly brilliant.

One of the smallest (and favourite) I've been to is North Ferriby Uniteds.

Aye, the old Shay takes some beating, I stood on that mud bank more than once. Lets not forget that pre-IOR Victoria Ground Hartlepool is a contender too.

Yes the time with the Portacabins where the Cyril Knowles stand is now located - mind you you had a good view of the North Sea from the Mill House seats in them days.

I can't believe the transformation at Rochdale. From a dingy earth bank of an away end, it is now quite a decent ground.
But yeah, the Vic in its prime circa 1970 was one helluva dump :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh:

Wigans old ground was bloody awful I can remember stood on a muddy bank behind the away end at an F.A.Cup tie in the 80's. Every time we attacked you slid down the mud then had to climb back up again to shelter in some old tin stand away from the driving phuquing rain sadx

Chester, Chesterfield, Luton, Torquay, Chelts & Barnet all rank as awful, the ones I like are Rochdale, Notts Cty & Tranmere but I am looking forwards to my visits to Donny & Swansea to check out the new grounds.

I must admit to enjoying my only visit to Darlo's new ground made even better by the result.

I guess I must be just plain old fashioned. I absolutely loved Luton's ground with all of its quirky entrances and stands. That's what you call character.

I remember as a kid that Windsor Park was a bit of a dump-well the spion kop anyways
needing a piss at halftime and asking a gadgie where the loo's were, he said you're standing in it!
looked down...ankle deep in piss....

a thread very close to my heart..................I am not ashamed to admitting to be an 'anorak' when it comes to grounds and am very much on the side of Mr Head.

Whoever said that Shrewsbury's ground was poor, I couldn't disagree with you enough. Shrewsbury was one of my favourite grounds and to think it has been replaced by a 'flat pack' ground AKA Chester, scunthorpe, bournemouth..................

It bores the pants off me going to new grounds. Just think how much more fun it would have been watching pools at The Old Den this year, rather than going to the fifth/sixth flat pack ground of the season!

Macclesfield has never excited me.
But plenty of the eighties grounds were pretty awful too
