Reading-the old Elm Park. Filthy terrace, crumbling steps, a WC that was basically a wall you stood behind to have a piss & just a nasty vibe all round.
Last time I went there we lost 2-1, it was pouring with rain that really added to the ambience-but David Rocastle was playing for us and he was so much head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch that night I felt sorry for him.
Wimbledon-Plough Lane. Walk past the cemetary to get there and up and over the pile of earth/slag heap to get to the away terrace which was as exposed as anything to the elements. High fences and a pitch that was set quite low down, so the view wasn't the best either.
