    What LOI grounds have you visited/not visited yet?

    In the last 2 years, I have been at:

    The Showgrounds (obviously, since I'm a Rovers fan)
    Tolka Park
    Flancare Park
    United Park
    Belfield Bowl
    St. Coleman's Park
    Richmond Park
    Morton Stadium
    Station Road

    Funnily enough, I haven't managed to get to Dalymount yet, even though it's probably the closest stadium to where I live.

    No cover for away support in the rain. The toilets are a disgrace. The stewards treat you like a criminal. No food or drinks available for away fans. All in all, not a pleasant place.

    They had food when we were there, other than that I agree with everything you say. The stewarding is an absolute joke, one of them got the hump with one of our lads when he refused to turn out his pockets on the grounds that the steward had no legal right to do so. The away stand is a mess, and the 'event co-ordinator' in Morton stadium had us moved from the left hand section of the stand to the centre of the stand, for reasons unknown to us (the whole stand was just for Limerick fans). Plus there seemed to be schooligans milling in at random from a hill behind one of the goals, didn't look like they were paying customers so it must be easy to jump in. Oh and I walked up to the away gate at 7.10 and they hadn't opened it or got tickets down yet, so the steward told me to go down to the home gate to get in, so I wlaked down there and was told I couldn't get in there as I wasn't a Fingal fan and had to go back up to the away gate. I got up there and had to wait for another 10 minutes before they opened the gate. Absolutely worst away ground to go to

    Haven't been to the Brandywell, Richmond Park, Carlisle grounds, the Showgrounds or the Youths stadium yet.

    Turners Cross is the best I've seen, Dalymount is my favourite location (I pass it twice a day and like how it's a proper community fixture), and St Coleman's is my favourite trip (the pub is fantastic and the atmosphere is always good when we play there)

    Why would you want your club to fold though? It's not that bad in Wexford I hear

    Been to them all except the Belfield bowl which is the closest one to where I live. Will get to a game there in the next month or so maybe even Monday night.

    Past grounds visited used for LoI include Markets Field, Pike Rovers, Rathbane, Flower Lodge, Bishopstown, (saw Collingwood cup and underage Internationals in the Mardyke), Kilcohan Park, Greyhound Stadium Thurles, Demense Newcastlewest, Crowley Park Galwegians, RFC, Rugby Sportsground, Ballindereen GAA and Carraroe GAA, St Mels Park, Abbeycarton, Tennypenny Park, Lourdes Stadium, Milltown, RDS, Harolds cross, Whitehall, old Belfield,

    AFAIK the only ground I've missed (used regularly) since the early 70's was seeing Monaghan in Belgium Park.

    I've been to disappointingly few, as have been scattered around the world since I left Derry as a schoolkid, and Summer football means I'm denied my Christmas EL fix :

    Brandywell
    Finn Park
    Sligo Showgies
    Turners Cross
    Tolka
    Dalymount
    Richmond Park
    Harold's Cross (back in the day...)
    Abbeycarton (ditto...)

    Been to nearly as many Irish league grounds (Institute, Limavady, Dungannon, Glentoran, Linfield), due to always catching some sort of football when I'm back for Chrimbo

    Hmm..Haven't been to Wexford, Limerick (any of their residences), Cobh, Dundalk or the Belfield Bowl. I might get to some of those before the season is out.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
