Hope you never went to the county ground to see Northampton as they play at sixfields stadium lol. But yeah Swindon town was a shit hole too.


Northampton played at the County ground, a chap called George Best made history there in a FA cup game! scoring 6!!

The stadium in Toulouse was a bowl, there were also few Russians maybe a couple of thousand to have banter with either yet I can say without a shadow of a doubt it is probably one of the best atmosphers/games I have ever been to.

Why? Probably because everyone was stood up and everyone was 100% behind the team and the country. I think the problem does not lie with the fact some of the stadiums are 'bowls' the problem comes when they are not full and that is the problem we have had, when you have 18/19,000 in a stadium that holds 33,000 it's always going to be a bit more difficult but ultimately it's the fans that make atmosphere blaming the grounds is anot excuse realy

Eastville was a shithole but what an away day thousands of city fans on the old football specials, first away match for many city fans of a certain age, and they use to bring f**k all to Ninian Park. Ayresome park was a dump as was the city.
