    Wow this thread is bringing back memories.
    Lots of the above grounds mentioned with my Dad, he would bundle us three kids in the car and drive the length and breadth of the country on away days.
    He is no longer with us but thanks to him I’ve done loads of the grounds mentioned.
    Notable memories include a hat trick at Ninian Park by Derek Hales, I think and bizarrely picking up a Sunderland fan hitch hiking up to Roker Park somewhere on route on a motorway or at a motorway services.
    The away days with Dad were by far and away my best memories of him.
