I can now add Huish Park in Yeovil to the list. :shock:

Public transport in Yeovil is interesting. The bus driver from town out to the ground got so flustered by a bus full of Leeds fans, he forgot his route and started heading straight to the ground. Poor old Mavis (a local) let him know so we went on a 15 minute magical mystery tour as he took her back to her stop!
The bus from the town to the train station also diverted due to traffic. We ended up on a country lane which wasn't actually wide enough. Scraping the hedges both sides :roll:
All in all, if you get the chance to go to Yeovil, don't.

County Ground, Swindon. Like Huish Park, no cover for the away end, but at least there are seats, with quite generous leg room. Luckily another (rare) fine day, even had to have the sunglasses on!

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to austadiums and thought this would be as good a place as any to start.

General Motors place, BC, Canada
BC Place, BC, Canada
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, CAL, USA
Honda Center, CAL, USA

Hopefully going back to Canada and USA next year to go to some more NHL venues. I'd love to go to the Air Canada center in Toronto.

The latter I suspect.
I applied for a whole lot of away games not thinking that I'd get tickets, and so far I'm 4 for 4. The part of the whole thing that sucks is that I can see the ground from where I work, so I'm in that part of London 5 days a week anyway. At least I know I'm not missing anything in not being able to have a pre-match drink near the ground. The pub situation around there is extremely dire.
