It is a scum hole the ground and its surroundings, the people, in fact everything about the place. Glad it is a Saturday fixture so that I don't have to go.
For once I agree with ******** - the place and everything about it is just a toilet, and one not too disimilar to the one in Trainspotting too. The only thing that amazes me about the place is how no-one ever seems to put a ball through the windows of those exec boxes that run along the side of the pitch.

Great view of our goals from the away end - apart from that horrible ground inside and out.

Who cares, they let us have virtually the whole end, we could stand, and were really close to the action.

There really is no pleasing some people.

Exeweb Rail travel HQ or so it seems!!
I thought that entrance although bizarre was superbly old fashioned. It must be one of the most photographed turnstile entrances in football! Kenilworth Road itself is one of the few traditional looking grounds left but at the same time is very tired looking.

Yes and a 7th place finish in 1987.....Plough Lane(Dons) was worse for top flight football

I really enjoyed the ground yesterday. Ok, there wasn't much legroom and it isn't the friendliest of places, but the away end had good acoustics and we were near the home ''singers''.

I loved it.

One day in the not to distant future all away ends will look the same and we will all wonder what happened.
