    Extortionate?

    As he says, the Legend Level. I think extortionate would be an understatement for the majority of people.

    It's called the Bobby Moore suite and for the past ten years it's been almost £1,000 per seat, per event.

    Though I suspect that now all the ten year licenses are running out, it will be substantially cheaper.

    I have always liked Hillsborough and Villa Park before the redevelopment was a nice ground. Lower league grounds I like include Kidderminster, Rotherham and Stockport. Worst ever ground I visited was Doncaster's old ground. Prince Moncrieffe played for them at the time and we lost 1-0 to an Adie Mike goal. Awful ground and awful day! We visited the season after we went up as runners up to them under PT and they paraded the league winners cup around like it was the crown jewels. I don't often use the word but from that day forward they were cu@ts!

    Difficult to imagine over 37,000, supposedly even more as many were supposed to have climbed over fences to get in, in there when they played City in Raich Carter's time. At one time it was the largest pitch in the football league. Surprisingly Scarborough's was second largest when they were a league club as it didn't seem that big when watching games there.

    I havent got a clue how much it costs so would trust OLM. Both times I've been - the semi vs the Blunts and England vs Norway - I was on freebies by companies wooing me to do some work.

    I would add the old Layer Road to that list. I think we where the last away team to play there. We won 1-3

    I love away games in the lower leagues feels real if ya know what I mean.

    Highlights of that Tuesday night Mt Campbell had a good night as did Deano. Duffen waving to the crowd too.

    That Colchester match was peak-Fraizer. Properly unplayable.

    I went all the way to Colchester for the first game, which was postponed because of a mildly waterlogged pitch, one hour before kick-off.

    Been to Cambridge too when they had Kitson up front.

    My mate lived in Cambridge (Milton) so also had a few drunken nights in Cambridge.

    More exuberant goal celebrations from our fans than we see nowadays. They all managed to stand for 90 minutes. Presumably no unfit brothers, uncles and dads we hear so much about nowadays went then. Or kids who are traumatised by people standing and not being able to see properly.

    On the basis that worst = best, then Millmoor and The Old Showground are both up there (or is that down there?)

    Went to Layer Road for first time in April 1998. The game was sponsored by a friend. Lost 4-3. Drank all the wine in the restaurant. City man of match awarded to Willo.. Hately looked in our direction and just shook his head.

    I don't think that will be a popular choice on here

    I really enjoyed Oakwell in 2008. Deano scoring with his first touch, Ashbee's bullet header and all that. I was impressed by Stadium MK last season, but the atmosphere was non-existent, unsurprisingly.
