    How many Away Grounds you up to??

    I just tallied mine up and it stands at 64, probably a few more if you include old grounds such as Maine Rd etc

    Of those my favourite for how it looks and what I would not mind us having is Readings.

    Done some proper dives like Chesterfield, Craven Cottage (pre and post refurb) and old Manor Ground

    Always look forward to going to the Den, Griffin Park, Cardiff and Aston Gate

    How many grounds are others up too and any favourites?

    Of the current 92 league teams I have done 42 including Loftus Road (albeit some are their old ground, such as Oxford & Brighton). Plus Luton & Woking in the Blue Square Prem & a few Scottish grounds due to having family up there, also Millennium Stadium.

    Worst ground I can remember is Luton, with Colchester's old 1 up there n all. Favourite is obviously Loftus Road. Agree with the OP in that I quite like Madejski tbf. Emirates the nicest I've been to though, albeit like a library when I was there. Most overrated for me was St James Park, atmosphere wise. Nice stadium & all that, but their fans were pony until they popped a goal in. Famous atmosphere my ar$e.

      25 for me.

      Worst was Barnsley away. 0-0 utter dross of a match and not a great ground.

      Best away day was the 2-2 in Cardiff. As for best ground, I really like The Hawthornes

            To look at inside and out Emirates is a fantastic ground but on a match day there is no vibe.

            Only time I have seen it humming was the Champions League semi against Man Utd (which I managed to score tickets for). For the first 15mins until United scored it was one of the best atmospheres I have been to but then it went flat

                40, not great considering I started in 1965, hope Yeovil and Bournemouth go up to add to my total, that is of course we go down. Villa Park in the old terrace days, the noise emanating from the Holte End was awesome

                  Must be 40 -50 I suppose, best is Etihad Stadium, worst is Peterborough which was no better than a cow shed.

                    This thread on foolham would be 2 replies long:

                    "2"
                    And
                    "They sell away tickets?"

                    Average amount on my end - about 30 at a push

                      Adding another dire ground to the list and that was Brighton at the athletics track, terrible ground although there new one looks tidy

                      Always enjoyed Maine road too

                        Grimsby and S****horpe are pretty dire, Colchester and Cambridge ain't far behind.

                          Remember leaving the away end at Grimsby, up that kind of back alley, few years back in the cup after we had played them the week before at there place and there was plenty of fistey cuffs

                            I've been to 44 grounds, and Arsenal, Reading, Southampton, are the best grounds I've seen, and Luton, Watford, Grimsby, some of the worst.
                            Make that 45 grounds, also saw Rangers at Southampton's old ground, the Dell.
