I know you're one for the shiny lego brick grounds with your panoramic photos (and very nice they are too), but I have a bit of a fetish for dumps like Luton and Grimsby. Hoping this lives up to expectations!

It’s a proper ground, I loved it last season. Can make some great noise from the away end as well

Now they are just varying levels of bland. A lot of them are soulless interchangable plastic bowels that need the name of the club written in seats just to give them a shread of personality.
I don't think I've been to a single redeveloped ground where the atmosphere is better tgat at the old dump it replaced.
Just another thing that's raspberries about modern football.

Been to the New York Stadium - new(ish) home of Rotherham United. It certainly has nothing the atmosphere of their old hovel - Millmoor. That WAS an intimidating venue! Mind you, the Milkers’ New ground is oodles better than what they had to endure when they were orphaned to Attercliffe after losing Millmoor before the new stadium was built.

Macclesfield were 92nd when we played them and we provided them with only their 2nd point out the first 27 available after we put in a stinker of a 2nd half. Vale at present are 90th so if the attitude is of the ilk of the two games above it's gonna be tough.

Millmoor's still standing also and apparently being used by someone.
