    Dundalk, there isn't really an away section in Limerick. And at least you can get food from a van there and not out of a box :rolleyes:

    +1 especially when it's raining (which seems to be everytime Shels play up in Donegal). Brays away section is pretty crap aswell.





    **An Irish EPL fans response to the worse away section**
    Worst away section has to be up the front of Murrays on O'Connell St, it's a shocking place to watch a match and without a doubt the worse place for away fans to go when the big clubs are playing (in England).!:D

    Good man Gav.:D

    I'm surprised actually. A thread about the state of LOI grounds and United Pk hasn't even been mentioned yet! Dundalk is pretty miserable at times but the Connaught St end takes the biscuit for me. I also always hated how they threw the away fans into the corner in Cork. Its not as if theres a lack of space.

    My worst memory of any ground is Macclesfield in 1998, one of my first away games, absolutely pissing it down and the mud was dripping from the tin roof onto our heads all night in huge splashes. It was filthy, stank of píss and just generally unsafe, but luckily we won 1-0 so not all bad.

    Richmond's shed end is god awful. Bestg craic I've had at an away ground though :)

    Went to the Goldstone Ground (Brighton's old ground) in the 1982/3 season and it was without doubt the worst ground for away fans I have ever come across in the English top league. They were the days of standing and we were crammed into a corner (far too many fans for the space). The police searches delayed our entry into the ground (we did not get in until 15 minutes into the match). I am 6' 2" and I could not see a large part of the pitch because of the heads of fans and other obstructions. We had travelled for 8 hours in a coach to get there and then endured the most miserable 1-0 defeat you could imagine.

    Fortunately we beat them in the Cup Final that season, Brighton were also relegated to the lower reaches of English football, and the Goldstone Ground was eventually sold and redeveloped.

    Thanking you sir.;)


    I think every away fan loves United Park as the away section is class imo, great sound, terraced, etc...
