Was having a think of all the grounds I've been too over the years as a wanderer, most of which have been pretty tame and no problems, then the few where I've thought "its gonna go off today" and felt a little uncomfortable. So was wondering what grounds you chaps and ladies think are the worst and best for that matter in terms of feeling "unsafe" if thats the correct word to use:
Un-safe grounds.....
St Andrews - Not pleasant on the 2 occasions I've been
Maine Road - walking up the back streets and alleys to ground, always had a sense of might get my head kicked in for f*ck all.
Turf Moore - Think it was the first game of the season when Coyle was in charge of us, think they did us 2-0, very nasty atmosphere and thought it was going to go off.
West Brom - Hawthorns - Went a few years back with the girlfriend at the time, cut a long story short, went the wrong way round the ground, a "steward" sent us through a council estste and a one way path. got spat at and a few punches thrown at us by the fans coming up the one way path... then chased through the estate. Very Pleasant day, think we drew 1 all, they scored very late and our lot started smashing seats up, lots of trouble outside after the match
Safe Grounds
Boro - been numerous times and never an ounce of trouble from them, more from the police "offering" Bolton fans out... I shit you not.
Sunderland - Never had any problems there, pretty tame.
