New venues for me are potentially Spennymoor, Darlington, York, and Hereford. I haven't been to FCUM, and won't be doing unless it's crucial.

I may also skip three other grounds I'm not keen on : Bradford PA, Boston, and Brackley.

What's wrong with Boston??


I don't like having to sit at one end of the ground.

Won't we be having to do that at most grounds next season?

I doubt it. Example Southport - I sit in the main stand. We got a side-on view at Kidderminster last time. It'll happen at FCUM and Chester though.

Is the main stand not an option at Boston?
I think that is for home supporters only. The last time I went there was a segregated area for away supporters behind the goal, towards a corner, which was part of the older stand and the paddock in front.
I read once this was the original main stand and was along the side until the pitch was turned around in the seventies so they could develop the ground.

It wasn't last time I went.

Its a bit like when someone gets a patch of turf for a memento, at the end of the day a lot of pitches are completely relayed.
Like the irish tale,
I've had this spade in our family for 7 generations, its had 3 new handles and 4 new heads.

The puzzle actually has its origins in ancient Greek philosophy. The problem was most famously stated as the 'Ship of Theseus': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

Magnificent stuff, Jimmy ;D ;D ;D

On second thoughts I don't think it'd be an enjoyable experience sat amongst Boston supporters!

If a ground is on the same site, it's the same ground. It's just been refurbished.  Forget all this nonsense about where the pitch is!
