About marshen

First Game

I can't actually remember! I would of been about 4 years old (in 1993) when my dad first took me to Boothferry Park to watch Hull City!

Best Game

It has to be the 2014 FA CUP SEMI FINAL @ WEMBLEY, HULL CITY v SHEFFIELD UNITED.
We were loosing 2-1 at half time and managed to turn it around and win 5-3!
It was tense, dramatic, exciting, frustrating, you name it, this match had it!

Best Ground

Stade de France - home to France

Not the most modern ground and doesn't have the best facilities but this stadium has great views from everywhere in the stadium (could be better if it didn't have a running track around the pitch), has a great sound system and with the music pumping out prior to kick off (Germany v Poland EURO 2016) it really got me in the mood for the football, shame about the 0-0 final score! Useful having free wifi in the stadium, great to share your experience live with others! I liked the way concourse was open as it allowed me to walk a fair way around the stadium to see the views from elsewhere!
The stadium also has a nice street of bars just next to it, very handy for a pre match drink!

I think the whole package at this stadium was great, hence the title of best ground!

Worst Ground

bet365 Stadium (The Britannia Stadium) - home to Stoke City

There's plenty of bad grounds but I'm going with the Britannia as I had a terrible experience after a match there.
I can't remember the score but after the match we were left in a pen outside of the away end whilst the police just stood and made sure we didn't move whilst the Stoke fans threw coins, bottles, stones etc at us.
Windy & cold ground also doesn't make it a memorable visit! Also looks rather strange as 2 stands are connected then the other 2 are not, why not either have 4 separate stands or join them up to make a 'STADIUM'!
