The old open terrace at Barnsley was pretty chilly, although their fans were decent enough and the pies were world class. And, I won fifteen quid on the scratchcard on the train for the first scorer, pity it was their number 9.
Those two trips to Rotherham in the early 80's were bloody miserable, the 3-0 was bad enough, but 75 year old Rodney Fern condemning us to defeat on a freezing New Years day made you think we were cursed.
middlesborough ....other than footy can think of no other reason for the place to be mentioned ...........pubs still sell mead in flagons ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
It would be interesting to know what northern fans make of Charlton on a wintery tuesday night, coming out of the station and turning right is not exactly a pretty sight.

Most are hypnotised by the street lights and dumstruck at the sight of cars that can seemingly support their own weight without the need to be propped up with bricks.
I always imagine a cold Tuesday night in November isn't the time you wanna be playing Macclesfield away
Hey. I used to own a cottage not too far from there and went to see Macc play a few times. Nice little ground, friendly punters and some nice pubs not too far away.
Elland road in the mid eighties . Approaching it in winter via the m1 is like being imprisoned at Colditz castle but occupied bycomedy guards with mullets and mustaches .
Went to watch Merthyr Tidfil play and have to say The whole place was Grim... went to A night game at Macclesfield vs Scunthorpe and a bit out the way but although it was freezing cold they sold a nice pie. Whitby Town is a nice non league ground but it's an outpost in terms of getting there.

Sunderland and Middlesbrough
Quite enjoyed scunny old school football
Carlisle will always be my 2nd favourite ground after the valley
What about Port Vale as an outpost? There even a place called port vale.

Ayresome Park in December was pretty bleak....

Jordan Jago wanted to re-name it Montego Bay Road !!! like that would make that sess pit look any better.
