favourite away ground and why?
 
whats your favourite away ground you have visited with Stanley and why?

many grounds hold fond memories for different reasons but I always enjoyed Halifax. A nice local ground where we could take decent numbers and that big banking was excellent. We always made good noise there and never seemed to take a beating - I wouldn't mind a return visit for a cup game or summat.

my favourite was always the "Shay" Halifaxs ground in the 50s, me dad took me to all away games, and always loved the Shay, it was n absolute dump, n all shale behind the goal were we stood, but they had the best "Pies" i ever tasted.:D

Its a really tight choice between The Shay (Halifax) and Christie Park (Morecambe), Both grounds seem to be able to create an atmosphere really easily and both were local derbies but really friendly before and after. Christie probably edges it coz of the chippy!!!!

I enjoyed Morcomabe, but i thought the atmosphere at York (The last season in conference 2-4 winners) was a really good day out and will always remember that one, but nicest ground i would go for Kiddiminster, a very nice ground and nice bar and very friendly people.

I can't remember the exact game but it was a pre-season and I am sure it was London-ish. We'd gone down on the train and there were about 10 of us outside a pub in the front beer garden. There were a load of 'lads' sat at a table and suddenly a transit van pulled up and a load of other 'lads' piled out and laid into the first lot. It all happened in about 10 seconds and they were gone.

I'm sure it was earlier than 93 though cos I thought I was only about 10/11 or so (putting it around 87)
