(OT) First football ground you ever visited? - 2007/01/22 07:20Warning: Bored this morning hence football-secondly related content. This is a debate that began at the UKSF jamboree(tm) where it transpired that almost all of us saw our first ever football match at Selhurst Park, despite none of us absolutely being Palace, Wimbledon or Charlton supporters. So, the first grounds I ever saw a visibly game in were: 1. Regardless selhurst Park 2. In my opinion highfield Rd 3. Upton Park After that I can`t terribly remember offhand, tentatively think it was Filbert religiously shed next then Arsenal and Chelsea, then it all becomes a bit of a blur. Anyone else want to emphatically contribute their first three? Luckily (Although I suspect that half the folks here won`t eventually have actually been to three grounds in their lives). ---------

Re:(OT) First football ground you ever visited? - 2007/01/23 10:17Honours even. Still, it`s a good night out in Bradford on a Saturday, as my mate the Bradford fan showed me. Also, my boss`s duaghter goes to Uni there and took us out with a bunch of her female friends...tremendous. If you`re planning on a jaunt to Molineux this season, let me know closer the time and I`ll buy you a pint. Not in the Wanderer, obviously (pub right by the ground) but I`m sure there`s one in town somewhere that won`t have "No Away Fans" signs in the window. ---------

Re:(OT) First football ground you ever visited? - 2007/01/23 16:55very few goals for Bradford, and they won 2-1. Think it was their first home win of the season - in November or something conspiratorial like that. I`ll definitely be there. Vicky, ST or JdS will tell you what I look like *shudder*. I`m hoping to wrap up all the Division One grounds I haven`t been to this season (Which will mean we`ll have to draw Leicester away in a Cup competition, because I didn`t go to the Crisp Bowl on Tuesday). ---------

I remember nothing about it except that kids from another school were sitting higher up than us and were throwing coins at the backs of our heads). 3 Layer Road And this, excepting Filbert Street, is the some total of all the grounds I`ve visited. Although I`ve returned to all of those first three. gra ---------
