Wimbledon (aka MK Dons) gets my vote...

Rubbish stadium, no atmosphere what so ever, and not a very nice town to live in.

Only thing going for it is its easy to get to and well directed.

It maybe crap but I actually enjoy going there, to me the ground has charachter which I like in football grounds, ie no stands matching, terracing, talll pylons for the floodlights etc. I have been there twice and would go again and again whenever we play them.

the worst ground in the football league has to be layer road its so funny behind one of the goals the seats are at differnt levels because they ran out of money so one block is higher up then the other

Well it isen't really a big stand, so if a few Town fans went I suppose they could really make alot of noise.

They haven't done the corners yet. At present it holds about 24 and a half.

They are starting work on the river end corner of the stand later this year and that will seat another 1500.

Yes, its good for noise because it rattles around the tin stand. We fill the stand behind the goal, so it makes for a good atmosphere. (I'm sure it was a bank holiday we went there last year too)

Don't sit in front of Dazza tho, as leg room is minimal. You'll have bruises all up your back, from his knees.

To be honest Wimbledons ground lacked atmosphere but is not the worst ground. Cardiff City and Crystal Palace were both sh*t grounds. Both of these should be pulled down and replaced with slums, it would be a vast improvement.
