    Been to lots of not so good/small grounds but will not include any non league teams in this list (would not be fair on them).

    Worst in this order.
    1. Exeter City - Got soaked during an FA Cup game there - open ended & small.
    2. Rotherham Utd - Just a horrible place but had good pies <laugh> Think Delia helped them out that night!
    3. Crystal Palace - Before all seaters became fashionable - Suffered a bitterly cold night there watching us play Charlton in the Simod Cup! (hands up if you remember that one?) <laugh>
    4. QPR - Not aimed at Andy at all - but the amount of times I have hurt my hands, celebrating City goals, on the low concrete roof above the away fans makes this a not so good place to go.
    5. Middlesbrough (Ayrsome Park) again before all seaters - miserable place with lots of hostile natives when we beat them.
    6. Southampton (The Dell) again before all seaters but mostly because I never saw us win there - but had a very handy away pub next to the away section (The Winston)

    Outside of England, i.e in Scotland I have been to many grounds

    Alloa, Montrose, East Fife, Cowdenbeath, Clydebank, Falkirk are all pretty dire

    Best grounds I have been to, in no particular order.

    Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd, Newcastle, Leeds and now Carrow Road of course <ok>

    With my arms outstretched I am about 8 1/2 feet tall. Not hard to jump 18", which has happened many times at Loftus Road over the years

    aha, Aldershot - forgot about that place. Went there when they were in the league. Another 1 to the list.

    Worst:

    Fratton park: concrete slabs on a dirt bank for the away support. no beer and rubbish facilities. Looks even worse from on the pitch :p
    Selhurst Park: Dump. That is all.
    Anfield: Just terrible for such a big club.

    Best:

    Emirates: Class above anything else in the UK if not the world.

    Honorable mention:

    Chelsea: Stewards called me sir.
    Ajax arena: Just a stupid piece of engineering really.
