Best Ground visited (& why).
Bloomfield Road, so many memories and its run down old footie ground type atmosphere. For class I'd say the Nou Camp.
Poorest Ground Visited:
Northampton's old ground.
Best experience on your travels:
Seeing Blackpool score in the 93rd minute to win 1-0 at Stoke, when were bottom of the league they were top hadn't lost at home we were 10-1 on the coupon, they had 99% of the play and we had not one shot on goal or otherwise until the goal, complete injustice but fantastic all the same.

We're going home on an organized football coach!
Any tips for those intending to visit the 92?
You've go to do some planning before doing some seemingly pointless trips, I recall this year 3/1/00 Brighton v Exeter lunchtime kick off, 300 miles from home to a game I had no interest in at all, only to find out on arrival it was all ticket. Managed to get one of an Exeter fan then and had to leave the game 10 mins early to dash up the motorway to see Wimbledon v Sunderland!
