Almost every ground the first time I visited. Between winning 4-1 at Southend in 1982, and then a 1-0 win at Luton in 1994.
I visited 44 new grounds, only saw us win 4 times. The wins being at Aldershot, Torquay, Maidstone & Cambridge.

As to be Watford for me , Chris Waddle first game was a nightmare and to top it quarter finals there when we had Little and Blake on the bench when we had best chance since Newcastle to get to a FA cup semi final...

For a while it was the Turf for me, which was awkward. Infrequent visitor when I moved away, I saw 7 defeats and 4 draws in a streak spanning several years later part of noughties. Culminated in me leaving the Chris Iwelumo Preston game at 3-1 down which convinced me I was the problem... Ridiculously, I genuinely stayed away for a bit after. I'm over it now and have seen plenty of wins since, but you might be glad to hear I'm not planning to be home at any point in the run in.

Stoke (old ground).......freezing cold..4-0 down & a good kicking to put the cherry on....miserable place.
Also it seemed to take ages to get there on the train & even longer on the way back....'70's.

Hillsborough. Never seen us win there. Been about 4 times against Wednesday and lost every time then there was the semi final against Malcolm Macdonald.

Another for Adam's Park. Been five times, best I've seen is a draw.

As a Burnley fan, probably Peterborough. Never seen anything good happen there. At West brom, there's only been defeats, but West brom fans are OK, and it's only been the football that's been bad, and you can say that of a lot of places when we were awful.

But Peterborough is better than Wealdstone, where I've been several times, always to find the match is called off - and the last two times when the weather has been decent in the afternoons, and Hassocks, where rye always lost, usually by some underhand means conning the ref, and we twice had to escort one of our fans out because he lost it and launched a tirade of expletives about Hassocks, the ref, every year, cheats etc. It's rather noticeable at that level.

Millmoor.

Been about three times and it’s always been a miserable experience, and not just because of the location and general ambience. Some truly shocking performances.
Did you not go the night Louie Donowo ran them ragged!!?

Anfield. Missed the 1-0 win in 74/5 and never saw a victory previously or seen once since.
