Weirdest Ground location

The Withdean was a shocking view, at ground level 50 yards away from the nearest goal.

I used to work at Kew Bridge overlooking a small patch of land. I couldn't believe it when Brentford announced that they would be building their new ground on it. Somehow, they achieved it.

They should have called it the Planes, Trains and Automobiles stadium!

Went to Bootham Crescent in York for the rugby not so long ago - tucked away down side streets and a proper old fashioned ground. The "corporate hospitality " was a tray of pies and help yourself to a can of John Smith's from the fridge - absolutely class.

Its being sold to Persimmon for housing - hopefully after they find missing urns with fans ashes in buried under the pitch

Bootham Crescent to be sold and demolition to begin ‘within weeks’ after fans’ final farewell

Wyre Villa

Wyre Villa is great if you like cocaine and fighting. For anything else...

i lived in gran canaria - some odd grounds there built into mountains etc... played some local league stuff - odd grounds in odd places

Dumbarton's in a great position.

Derby's old ground, the baseball. Real old fashioned stadium in the middle of a really shite terraced housing estate.

I seem to recall Darlington's old ground was a bit odd when we went there in 80's.. away fans got off the coach and were then marched down some weird back alley with high walls to get to the turnstiles.. made a great noise when we came out signing though, after thrashing them 4-0!

Springfield Park, Wigan in the old Shevington Rd end. We stood on grass embankment with timber railway sleepers.

That shithole next to a disused football museum.

Nobody mentioned AFC Fylde yet?

Anyone ever been to La Coruna .. on a Main Street in the middle of a town?

 

[LimerickTangerine]

Always found Limericks football stadium (Markets Field) location sort of funny

You have a few pubs, next to them the prison, next to that the mental hospital then the stadium then the graveyard

In many ways Old Trafford is a weird one - you see it all lit up from the sky on European nights and it looks like it could be anywhere .. in truth it's in the middle of a slum!

This thread is well worth a view!

Are these the strangest stadiums in the world?

Forget Camp Nou, Wembley and the Maracaña. These stadiums are the real wonders of the footballing world.

Another vote for Arbroath.
Virtually in the North Sea.

Not been to watch a game there, but stayed at the other end of the city and walked along the seafront nearly to the ground. One of the great walks to get to a ground with the sea pounding in.

I liked the lifestyle there, if you had a Euro for a beer you could make a night out of it just standing in the streets of the old town and people watching. Thus nearly the whole city seemed to be out on a weekend night.

Yeovil's Huish Park is in an odd location

I remember when I visited when we lost 2-1, it was the first game after Holloway left. When you was through the turnstile after getting your ticket checked, you were pitchside.

Grimsby Town’s ground not being in Grimsby but in Cleethorpes. Bet a few have been caught out going there over the years.
