Lots of eateries Cardinal park etc

I seriously don’t think there is a better situated ground in the Country

We are very spoilt and only realise this when at away games

In terms of train stations, there's quite a few ahead of Ipswich. Can't comment on the quality of the pubs in some of these places...

Then 5 mins up the Rd from riverside you have pub options too, just over the river you've got the something Angler I belive and city center is still only 20mins or so away

Most of which are in pretty horrible areas. Chelsea and Fulham the exceptions. Perhaps another one or 2.

The quality of the immediate surrounding area wasn't in the criteria either.

But either way, it's very easy to drink in a nice area before a London game if you know your way around.

Emirates. Stamford Bridge. West Ham’s new ground they basically stole from the taxpayer. I would say the new Spurs stadium but that area is a toilet. But largely you are right it’s a great location.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Forest's City Ground. A bit more of the walk to the city centre, but very close to West Bridgford and the Meadows, plenty of bars and eateries around and lets not forget a test match cricket ground over the road. Nottingham station a 10 minute walk away if you do it at a quick pace.

Watford is superb because if you are taken ill you are right next to West Herts Hospital.

It’s also a short walk home.

We should consider playing more home games there.

Not a chance. Land value isn't worth it for the council to want to sell. If the stadium wasn't there the land value in the area would decrease even more. Why do you think Royal Mail hasn't sold up? Why they renovated the fire station instead of selling up?

Also, we don't own the land so we would need to fund a whole new stadium ourselves so would push back.
