It seems the older stadiums with character are still the favourites with visiting fans.
When we got into the Premier League it seemed a novelty at first for our travelling fans, but the responses on this website since seem that a good number of them are soulless and have no real character.
Remember when we used to go to away matches back in the sixties how each ground was different, some with covered stands, others open to the elements, couldn’t beat standing on Brighton Beach End on a cold wet windy night.

I don't think there are any old facades left there are there? The one that's due to be redeveloped is the oldest and it looks like a 1970s office block from the outside.

Well, the front entrances are the old classic Villa park ? It’s what my mate said anyway …

Not seen a football ground with the railway line inside before, not the UK though.
Old scoreboard at Loftus Road, QPR 1 v 9 Burnley, some will remember the one at Brighton Beach End.
Change ends to get behind the goal at the Goldstone Ground to see your side attacking both halves.
Remember when we went to Northampton ground when it ws used for cricket.
Did they have benches down one side?
These pics may bring back memories for some.

Jordan Zemura - “fit & available”.
OK, that’s his Tinder account sorted. But what are his chances of playing?

Good evening everybody. Just about recovered from the events of last Saturday, gutted I can’t be there tomorrow but have great faith that the Cherries present will get us a result. Will be thinking of those I usually see on the trains and (those on the rocket, play some ZZ Top) it always works out well

vandalism. That old stand was truly an impressive sight when I first saw it in person. Replacement stand is soulless.

Does he come to home games still?
Certainly not allowed to go to away games:
Apparently he stubs his big toe climbing up the steps to the plane ,usually ending up in a fracture.
