Worst Game

too many to mention, bolton 3 reading 0 in 2007 stands out as being a crap day overall, crap traffic game and result.

each ground has features that are better worse than others, so...
atmosphere: portsmouth (no where comes close)
leg room: reading, swansea, doncaster
character (older): old trafford, hillsbrough,moleneux, ninian park
character (new build): Madejski, Ricoh
facilities (concourse size, seat comfort ect): swansea, emirates, mk dons
novelty value: luton (going through someones living room and back garden to get into away end)

as above...
atmosphere: emirates (just a big corporate day out.).
leg room: qpr,luton
charactor (lack of): emirates (just a big lego set with emirates stickers all over it), walkers+st marys (no features on either to look at)
facilities: qpr(crammed+tight),coventry (ricoh seats arent the best, dissapointing for new build stadium)
