    For me MK Dons was pretty special. Weird how it is sunken in the ground.

    Semi-final JPT we had more fans then them!!

    ... And I am still my son's hero for starting "que cera cera" after the goal. Got home and the first thing he said to his mum, was "Dad started a song, it was cool"

    He was 9 then. I am no longer cool :(

    I went to uni in Swansea so used to go and watch them on a pretty regular basis when they were back in League 2 at The Vetch, whilst perhaps not an unusual stadium it was a proper old school ground and I really enjoyed going along.

    The away entrance at Kenilworth Road in Luton is mad.

    I used to live in Margate . I went to hartsdown park when ever possible to watch Margate , then they were renamed Thanet United only to be renamed Margate again, and be sponsered by Buster bloodvessel's( singer from bad manners ) hotel Fatty Towers . the pitch was on a steep slope , so the ball would always run out of play on the south side of the pitch .
    Things went wrong off the pitch and we lost hartsdown park , had to play at Dover . Never seen them play since .

    Luton is mad. Apart from the exit, which I think they call the M1

    Going to Croke Park as an Englishman was weird, for historical reasons.

    Craven Cottage. First visit there this season.

    Like a lot of the old stadiums it doesn't have any corners, but unlike the others, at the cottage the stands behind the goal just extend out and seem to go on forever. We were practically in the river, couldn't have been more than 20 meters. Add to that the Cottage in the corner and the exterior being made for bricks.

    Oh, and when the players come out of the dressing room, they are outside. Weirdddd

    Probably Watford, it only has three open sides and the other side has terraces from the old days!

    Odd.

    Yep and the fact it is a phenomenal stadium on three sides... And then the hill.

    I went to see the hurling there two years ago. Amazing.

    There's an upside. You can take sadistic glee in being as embarrassing as possible.

    I offered to take my son on a free holiday...he couldn't bear to come even at that price. I think I'd have had to pay him to go. Don't know what his problem is....I think I'm a pretty good dancer:1980_boogie_down:
