Intimidating grounds

[oman0115]

Where have you guys been to away that has felt hostile and worrying? I didn’t grow up in the 70/80s so missed the real bad times. I always thought there was a funny vibe about white hart Lane, and for some reason bramall lane can feel hostile. Abroad, an Ajax Feyenoord game is particularity unfriendly

Never really enjoyed Wolves tbf, never worried about white Hart Lane or Highbury, even found Pompey OK when we take over the Shepherds crook

any of the old grounds really. Anfield is not a nice experience.

Personally never felt any of the old grounds in the North East particularly welcoming. There was normally a welcoming committee though. The walk to and from New Street to St.Andrews wasn't for the faint hearted either

Elland Road in the 80s early 90s.
Edgeley Park when we played there in the old 2nd division.

Remember in the eighties when I was a kid coming out of the gates at Wolves and them flying out of the subway and the police pushing us back in while they got rid of them. They got their comeuppance a few years later I believe

I wasn't intimidated by anywhere particularly. The odd incident was intimidating but I suppose we were just as intimidating as them. The worst vibe I recall was League Cup Semi Final at Liverpool in 1981. I got to Lime Street at 4.30 pm and there was a load waiting.

Yep, a couple of steepish roads on the way there, good for running on the way back though ;-)

Agree about Wolves in the 70s and Highbury but WHL? Always felt it was a bastard of a place after the match.

Merseyside, Leeds, the North East as mentioned and of course Chelsea and W Ham back in the 70s. Forest could be rough too.

Wolves was a tricky place but for me Birmingham was worse...
