To be honest, Hednesford's 'new' ground was a completely soulless venue, as I recall.

Mind you, seeing Alty lose there 5-0 didn't exactly endear the place to me....

It was a very eary place indeed. Recall there goalkeeper being about 60, a Kevin Poole fan, think he was called Cooksey, remember Neill Hardy shooting past him and he fell to the ground 10 minutes later

Don't really understand how people can vote for Nene Park, but I suppose like everything else it is in the eye of the beholder.

Personally, I've always found it a soul-less, charcter-less, wind-swept concrete mauseleum. Something akin to the high rise blocks of the sixties and seventies; the only thing missing is the stench of p*ss in the stairwell...oh hang on a minute.......

Spot on Uncle, to me all these new grounds have as much appeal as a Tesco Superstore.

The worst is a close call between Histon and Farsley this season

I'm suprised Stevenage hasn't got a mention on here, lovely away end with great acoustics and the chuck wagon does a great burger. The stewards don't give a monkeys about people standing up either (hello Rushden) and there used to be a bookies in the bar too. The fact that the town is a sh*thole has I imagine put people off from voting for it though. Worst away ground has to be Ebbsfleet (the bus graveyard) or Tamworth for me.

Stayed over in Northampton before the Rushden game - what impressed me about Nene Park was the whole set up there.

As far as I remember, the stand did look and feel like a league ground - the rest of the ground was big, but a bit of a tip.
