Old and new grounds-You've done them both!
How many clubs have new grounds, got to be thirty or so? How many have you done? eg Highfield rd-Ricoh arena-Coventry etc, and what's your favourite away ground, based on design-Architecture, both old and new.

Re: Old and new grounds-You've done them both!
Only ours and the Jacks,don’t know if Wembley and Arms Park/millemiun count.

Re: Old and new grounds-You've done them both!
Worst new one is London Stadium, it's totally unsuited to football. Quite the difference to that and Upton Park!
The Emirates is a lovely stadium, as was Highbury. Highbury was a proper ground, for a proper football club. I was gutted the new Spurs stadium wasn't going to be ready for our visit.

If youve done all them you must have done Walsall.

Did the Victoria Ground in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat in the late 60s. Just checked, 27th January 1968, good God, 53 years ago nigh on, terrifying thought:yikes:

Got locked in the guard’s van on the train on the way up, thought we were great having a room to ourselves on a packed train, until one of us wanted a wee (we still went for a wee, we were only 13:hehe:) and found the door locked. The guard let us out with a bollocking when we were passing through a station called Stone, a name too close to Stoke for comfort.
By the way what were you doing under age drinking? sherlock:

I went there for an FA Cup game in the mid 80s. We lost 2-1. We went 1-0 up and most of us didn't realise we'd scored until we saw the players celebrating.
I just remembered I saw Charlton play at the Valley and at Selhurst Park if that counts.

The experience of Millwall's, 'Cold Blow Lane,' was, shall we say, somewhat tasty ... and I was in the grandstand. Stoke was 1968 (FA Cup game) I think. That's another story.
