In the time since we got back into the Confrence (and long may we stay here) what is the best and worst ground you have been too?
for me it's gotta be Rushden (best Ground) and the old lawn (worst Ground)
-
Aggborough (Best Ground) Throstle Nest (Worst Ground)
-
Kassam Stadium Best (but worst atmosphere)
Not been too many away so I'd say Stafford for worst?
-
Best: Aggborough
Worst: Tamworth (fecking hate that place)
-
rushdens ground is best! looks well fit!
-
I nominate Kendal for the best bar award.
-
Best Ground: Exeter (minus the stewards) or Kiddy. Both good grounds.
Worst Ground: Tamworth
-
I nominate Kendal for the best bar award.
must have had scrumpy
-
Aggborough is an impressive stadium, but I also have a fondness for The Butchers Arms. I know they're not in our league anymore, but Accrington was terrible. Most away venues I've been to this year have been pretty decent to be honest.
-
No scrumpy at Kendal but they did have a giant tv screen and two very tasty barmaids.
-
Best is Oxford and worse Ebbsfleet/Gravesend/Northfleet - I went there last season and it was in poorer condition than it was when we won the APL there in 1980 - and it was crap then.
-
Best was Kiddy - very nice ground, terrace at each end with seated stands at the sides as a ground should be . The steam train feature was nice too :) but that hyped-up cottage pie looked a bit dodge.
Worst was Nuneaton especially the 'lounge' - more like a shack with strip lights!
-
I like Cambridge, its a good old traditional proper football ground with good acoustics too. The local pubs are bloody good too!
Their neighbour's at Histon gets my vote for the worst.
-
Oxford's was nice but 'looked out of sorts' for a non league ground, I liked Kidderminster when I went a few years ago, i've always had a soft spot for Southport and Burton too. Worst was Hednesford Town when we played them in the trophy in the 90's at their old ground, me and my dad got covered in mud up to our knees in the 'car park' and to top that off from what I can remember the game originally got postponed and we were already at Crewe !
-
Just read the thread properley, well Hednesford were a conference team once upon a time... ;)
-
To be honest, Hednesford's 'new' ground was a completely soulless venue, as I recall.
Mind you, seeing Alty lose there 5-0 didn't exactly endear the place to me....
-
It was a very eary place indeed. Recall there goalkeeper being about 60, a Kevin Poole fan, think he was called Cooksey, remember Neill Hardy shooting past him and he fell to the ground 10 minutes later
-
I nominate Kendal for the best bar award.
and the best ground for mint cake!
-
Best: Nene Park/The Pirelli
Worst: The Lamb/Throstle Nest
-
Don't really understand how people can vote for Nene Park, but I suppose like everything else it is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, I've always found it a soul-less, charcter-less, wind-swept concrete mauseleum. Something akin to the high rise blocks of the sixties and seventies; the only thing missing is the stench of p*ss in the stairwell...oh hang on a minute.......
-
Spot on Uncle, to me all these new grounds have as much appeal as a Tesco Superstore.
-
Think Burton has to be one of the best,nice terrace with a bar in the away end
The worst is a close call between Histon and Farsley this season
-
I'm suprised Stevenage hasn't got a mention on here, lovely away end with great acoustics and the chuck wagon does a great burger. The stewards don't give a monkeys about people standing up either (hello Rushden) and there used to be a bookies in the bar too. The fact that the town is a sh*thole has I imagine put people off from voting for it though. Worst away ground has to be Ebbsfleet (the bus graveyard) or Tamworth for me.
-
Worst Drill Fields,best besides Moss Lane has to be springfield Park looked like a league ground

Stayed over in Northampton before the Rushden game - what impressed me about Nene Park was the whole set up there.

As far as I remember, the stand did look and feel like a league ground - the rest of the ground was big, but a bit of a tip.
