    In your travels as a supporter over the years. What is your most miserable experience and the ugliest place you have been.
    Stoke gets it for me in the 70's They smashed all the windows in our coaches before we charged them and threw them in the river. But it was a miserable trip home.

    Ugley is Essex isn't an apt name.

    Biggest dump I've see was Preston about 5 years ago. Drove on and mile after mile off closed, burnt out, vandalised shops greeted me. The centre was little better and I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.

    I've seen less dereliction in Havana.

    I know there are a lot of younger people on here as well. But i'm pretty sure the places were more delapidated and ugly back then. Depressing is one way of looking at them.

    The area near Wolverhampton's ground was a scruffy old place and everywhere seemed like it could do with a lick of paint and the pavements and roads scrubbed.

    The people outside the ground, the ordinary residents were great though.

    Funny but I've never actually had a look around Middlesborough, get dropped off at the ground and picked up at the ground. Of course you almost always get massive clouds of grey, brown, orange and yellow floating over you.

    Always pleased to get away again.

    Colourful descriptions of them and stories boys & Girls. You would'nt think a place with the money like Tottenham would be such a midden mind. Boro is to be expected. But our capital is a banshees hideoot.

    I had the pleasure of sitting on a train from Birmingham to Shrewsbury last year, Wolverhampton's railways were sandwiched between wall after wall of graffiti and derelict buildings.

    I remember seeing the area around White Hart Lane when I was a young lad, a good 15 years ago. It was Horrendous then and looks not much better now. Wembley was an old **** hole too.

    Recently got lost in Manchester and went through some real shifty estates in Longsight, Levenshulme and Northenden. Different kind of rough compared to Newcastle or Sunderland.

    Many areas of Stockton and Boro are shocking too. Truly awful. Limetrees Close in Port Clarence had 3-4 burnt out houses in it at one point. ****ing sick!

    I remember the area around White Hart Lane from when I was youngster too and how surprised I was that such a famous ground ( as it was in those days ) was so shabby!
