There's worse grounds than Newport's at this level, and a fair few worse in non-league.
Barrow's is utter shite. Club built new stands with pillars! What's that about?
We've literally no room to do anything else so it's a case of doing what we can. This is the first time we've had some genuine off the field income for 50 years but a lot of that has been spent on just meeting the minimum requirements for the EFL as well as building a competitive enough squad to sustain ourselves at this level. The longer we stay here, naturally the more we'll have to improve the ground and facilities over time. Besides, we've had a lot moaning about how small our allocation was yet since we've extended it there's only been Morecambe and yourselves that have come anywhere near to selling it out so far, and probably only Bradford and Mansfield yet to come that will.
The other option is to build a new ground somewhere but unfortunately we don't have millions spare in the bank to do it.
That's all fair enough. I don't think the vast majority of clubs with shit grounds have them by choice. A shit ground is a shit ground though.We've literally no room to do anything else so it's a case of doing what we can.

I agree with that, Chesterfield's isn't too bad at all. Helps that it doesn't feel like it's in the middle of nowhere with plenty of stuff around it which Colchester and Shrewsbury lack.Forget the away fan rightly taking the piss, do the home fans in the West Stand like the view of the Bishop Street Stand as is? It's definitely got character and plenty of space for advertising hoardings
In terms of characterless grounds, nothing will beat Chester FC that I've visited. The likes of Northampton, Colchester, Shrewsbury are what they are when you upgrade from characterful dump to a small soulless stadium. Some better than others, and don't mind Chesterfields. Impressed by Wimbledon's although was like a library in our fixture earlier this season.

The soulless shite grounds like Shrewsbury's and Chesterfield's, however, deserve a special place in hell. At least your ground has character.

100%. I don't mean this harshly but I'd hope you could stay there. Even when numbers have been smaller, you can feel there's a lot of pride in the club and there's been an element of atmosphere. I feel you'd lose that if you ever moved out.Yeah, the majority of our fanbase would agree it has major flaws but it's "our" flawed ground if that makes sense.
I can't comment on Shrewsbury's or Chesterfield's but most of these newish grounds all seem to be built from the same blueprint nowadays.
Rochdale's ground is one of the best I've been to since we've been up here.

There’s loads of them, all look the same, out of town, bland no atmosphere, colchester,
Always needed doing up but there was never the need, until recently.
It doesn’t bother me in the slightest, more bothered about what we do on the pitch. I’m also very pleased we’ve a “decent” sized stand which kicks out some real noise than have one of these idenikit stadiums with no decent stands which all look the same.
Quite a clever idea to have advertising on it, least make sure of it rather than oxford or morecambe
Yes, those concrete steps and barbed wire certainly made an interesting first weekend away with my new girlfriend.I’ll take all of the non league grounds and I’ll raise you Bloomfield Road before it was redeveloped, worst than anything I ever saw in non league. Like a giant toilet.
97/98 2-2 draw?Yes, those concrete steps and barbed wire certainly made an interesting first weekend away with my new girlfriend.
I followed it up by a couple of nights in Bolton. I am a bloody charmer and she is a lucky lady, and I’ve been married to her for nearly 20 years now!!

Of course what happens on the pitch is more important but as we all know that is in flux with good times and bad enjoyed and endured by all.
Agree it was fine for the seasons where your attendances were poor and Mansfield weren't getting close to filling out their two home stands it didn't really matter but since the pandemic that's not the case. Something needs doing surely? Better to do it when doing well than when not?
It's an eyesore. Advertising hoardings are better than the back of terraced housing, but it's only one notch up. Imagine a covered terrace there in full voice singing Yeeeeellllloooowwwsss to add to that atmosphere.
Everything this is better than an out of town characters soulless Identikit modern(ish) stadium
I wasn't talking about the handful of Stags fans on here, of course they aren't bothered. I was thinking more Stagsnet where the views are far more varied on this subject.
It's been pointed and laughed at Nelson Muntz style ever since it was condemned way back when.
I would have thought it must be a little depressing for some of the supporters in your big stand looking at a derelict stand with no fans in it especially when things aren't great on the pitch.
I'm sure Mr Radford isn't as shortsighted or naive as some of the fanbase just concentrating on this season on the pitch.
Especially when it's the YOTS and promotion is very much on the cards you don't want to be turning away good money at the turnstiles in L1 next season. Even a shallow uncovered terrace would be a huge improvement. One with a little roof would be excellent.

I take your Bloomfield road and raise you Booth ferry Park - Part of it was a supermarket!
That’s the one.97/98 2-2 draw?
That was when I went and we got stuck in traffic and didn’t get there until just before half time, then walking down that dingy alleyway that stunk of piss that leads to the away end there comes a massive cheer from the ground just as Blackpool score.
Fair play to them, especially at a couple of days notice.Think it was 40 for us tonight and fair play to them.
Bootham Crescent. I lived in York for a few years, the home terrace was a great stand to be in. Although less said the better about the uncovered away end with equally infamous toilet (a brick wall, also without roof).Let's get serious fellas here if we are going old school dumps. I'm going all in with Saltergate , that away end with the toilet in the middle of it with no roof!
