About basildonjames81

First Game

Colchester United 1 Rochdale 0, 1997 at Layer Road.

Worst Game

Kilmarnock 0 Motherwell 0 at Rugby Park. Scottish football is horrendous.

I love old fashioned football grounds. Stonebridge Road is a fantastic ground, banked terracing all the way round.

What a khazi!
The ground wasn't fenced off for most of the way round it, the away bench didn't have a roof and was either falling down or hadn't been finished. The changing rooms were small and disgusting and the club house was rough. I've since been told it's been improved but I've never been back there.
