Not as big a disappointment as York moving Good point. Swapping the city centre to Bootham boozers with john Lewis cafe hardly a decent swap is it? Hasn’t that John Lewis already closed down ? |

Timber where abouts in Bradford was their old ground? Where the Park Avenue cricket ground still is I think, not sure if it used to be a joint cricket/ football ground like Bramhall Lane and Northampton or in the Headingley style of 2 grounds next to each other? Its on Horton Park Avenue between Manchester and Great Horton roads. Some of the old turnstiles can be seen although bricked up and parts of the large terrace behind the goals still exists. It was more of a headingley than a bramall lane ground. Certainly situated in a nicer part of the city even over 60 years ago. Its worth a look if anyone is ever in the area. |

Hartlepool, Halifax, Grimsby, Alty and surprisingly Alfreton. Agree on surprisingly Alfreton. Think I went four times and enjoyed all of them. Halifax is a big miss too but even more surprisingly Kings Lynn and I went on a Tuesday night though I did stay over and it was spring. |

York Brentford Reckon we’ll get Brentford again fairly soon though Well they have knackered that one up for me with changing grounds especilly york which by what i have heard is worth swerving now. Shrewsbury another good day out ruined by a ground move. I much preferred Barnet where it was too. Huddersfield’s ground move made little or no difference. |

I though Kings Lynn was a surprisingly nice town, the away end was terrible though, the best view I got of the match all night was through the window of the portakabin while I was having a wee. |

Google maps gives a pretty good idea |

I stood on the side, which was okay. Reminiscent of when I started at County stood on the old Pop Side. |

Google maps gives a pretty good idea Mumtaz Indian Restaurant is brilliant and on Great Horton Road close to the junction with Horton Park Avenue. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. |

Like matty that was the only one i missed as well. Do not know why i enjoyed the place as the games were always reffed by dodgy refs and there was always arguments about these decisions that always seem to go against us. Possibly being able to park outside the away entrance and the ability to give my dog a decent pre match walk helped plus have a good memory of my lads partner going with him before she died. |

Remember the 3-2 win at their place back in 2013. Came out confidently thinking we only needed a win against Dartford at Home plus something Away at Gateshead or Kiddy to stay up. The thoughts of a fool. |

We went there when we played Bradford away over Christmas, as you say it's brilliant and probably one of the best I've had. |
