Bit like that shithole Eastville stadium.

Bit like that shithole Eastville stadium.

I went there for an cup game years ago on the Park bus (Hopkins of Tonna)
20 of us Infiltrated the big home bank behind the goal.
Still got the scar on my noggin to prove it

Eastville was probably my first ever away game... special train to Patchway, bricked by Cardiff fans both directions, police escort and fighting with the gas. I was only 14 I thought it was great at the time.

I’m sure I’ve been there when I working in the NHS in a past life, but buggered if I can place it. Carmarthen? Haverfordwest?

Edit, just seen Ringwood said Nooport. Is that right? Been to all those shitholes too, from Somerton to Spytty to Dave Parade, but I wouldn’t have got that from that pic.

What these old stadiums show is character. They were easily identifiable. Wolves had the big massive south bank for example. Exeter had trees behind an open away end. Even our vetch had the prison behind the south stand
