Best away grounds

[felbridgeseagull]

Now I have more time on a Saturday I intend to attend a lot more away games with my 10 year old son next season, would be interested to hear everyones opinion on their favourite away stadiums and ones to miss (other than the obvious).

If Charlton go up then pencil that one in,mind you,they were 4-0 down at half time at home yesterday so perhaps they are trying to blow it.

I would think that all the grounds in the Premiership will be worth visiting next season (fingers crossed)

I've always loved Peterborough, only due to it having a terrace rather than seating, but I think it's being re-developed at the end of the season :-(

One of the most enjoyable away days was Sunderland a few years back, great atmosphere

I'm looking forward to forest!! I guess taking a 10 year old is different to what I would persieve as a good away day but millwall,Ipswich,Leeds are decent! Also looking forward to a Sheffield club next season!

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

i think london road is a brilliant ground, it's a very traditional stadium.

 

[Brownstuff]

If you are only going to a few away grounds stay away from out of town new stadiums and go to in town traditional ones

 

[Bean]

If Wolves go down that looks like a tasty away day. The grounds bring expanded as we speak and it looks mint.

 

[Drpepper]

If qpr come down thats worth going to.very compact stadium and alot of noise can be made.not too far either

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Any ground that is in the middle of a town. That way there will be traditional pubs on the doorstep. Bristol City and Watford come to mind.

Another shout for Peterborough, possibly one of my best awaydays!
Also loved the likes of Brentford and Exeter.
Colchester last season was great, we packed it out and make some serious noise (plus some comedyfending* to laugh at)
Although with luck, we might not be playing those teams for a while - besides Peterborough - but they're ruining, I mean developing, the end terraces...

*All credit for the use of this word goes to TSLR.

Interesting. QPR and Leeds would be in my top five least favourite grounds, for a number of reasons:

-No standing
-Agressive, nasty stewards
-Agressive, nasty fans
-Crap view from the away end
-Overpriced.

They certainly wouldn't be ones that I'd take my kid to.

Forest and Charlton are defintely good ones. Who knows what division we'll be in though?

Watford's got a shockingly crap away end though.

True- to be honest the whole ground is a bit of a dump but its easy to get too and for pre match drinking its ideal.

how can you like that ground its a crap ground in the middle of nowhere

I agree it was pretty soulless, but hopefully you can appreciate the face I have only good memories of it!

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I think the more pissed you are the better your memory of the ground is. A bit like sex really.

Winning helps too.

As I said though my opinion is different from one who goes with a 10 year old! Stayed in Leeds for last months win and forgot what a cracking city it was!!

With a 10 yo I'd probably say Watford is easy and friendly-as is Ipswich.
