DRIVING ROUND THE COUNTRY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF NEW GROUNDS BEING BUILT. WIMBLEDON RETURNING TO PLOUGH LANE WHERE THEY HAVE DEMOLISHED THE OLD GROUND/DOG TRACK TO IMPROVE THE AREA WITH FLATS AND STADIA.

http://www.bing.com/...053718890184863

BRENTFORDS NEW STADIUM CAN BE SEEN ON U TUBE, VERY IMPRESSIVE BUT THE OLD PROBLEM OF PARKING HASN'T BEEN SOLVED.

BOTH THESE GROUNDS HAVE THE TRADITIONAL 4 SIDES UNLIKE DOWN THE ROAD.

STEVENAGE AS FINALISING A NEW STAND AT THEIR GROUND DIRECTLY OPPOSITE THE CURRENT AWAY END.
God I hate this league.

I like Brentfords new stadium. Looks unique compared to the dull typical new stadiums.

Me too. Interesting ground share with London Irish Rugby. Perfect size for both teams, looks like a good arrangement for all.

It will be. They've both agreed to throw the max at it. And most rugby pitches are laid with the same long-weave nylon in it as football.

It gives more "flex" in the turf and doesn't cut up like the pitches of years ago. Scrums won't tear it like some fear.

They've consulted the Ricoh, Kassam and Madejski as they've all been groundshares for football and rugby and done a good job in mitigating as many potential problems as possible.

My fav ever ground in the country for exactly that reason, and in my experience a friendly bunch as well. The home pub doing
B B Q and welcoming town fans in for a burger and a pint
A new hope.

They didn’t seem very friendly when I went with a work colleague (and Brentford fan) to watch them away at Bamall Lane. We were in the awayend and apparently I sounded like a blunt..... Managed to convince them otherwise until SheffU scored a last minute equaliser when I may have cheered and run!!

North v South, you have to support North. Particularly as work colleague was also my daughters boyfriend....
Stay Home. Stay Safe.

That's why, as a neutral, in the CL I supported Liverpool. A northerner, and damn well proud of it.

Really feel for York. That new ground looks an awful new build, and a rubbish location.

York away is a belter of a day and a proper old school ground.

Agree re: Brentford too: probably my favourite away day in London watching town, along with QPR.

Evening Mark. I've never understand sunny developing ground. Their fan base very poor.

Their massive pie in the sky newbuild scheme obviously flopped so now a more pragmatic idea
