Grounds You’ve Seen Forest Play?

[PsychoStanleyStone]

Appreciate that this thread won’t generate much comment but have loved visiting different grounds down the years supporting the trickies.

i didn't see Highfield Road but i'd think you have been at some time, i experienced the good, the bad and the ugly in the away end at Coventry's old ground.

i lived near Coventry and my dad lived very near Highfield Road, we had a warm summer day with a 3.0 win, a pleasent evening and a 0.0 but totally dominated and had Stern John sent off and an absolute miserable stinker around 1998, it was freezing and miserable and i took this Aussie guy along who became as totally depressed as no interest in football or cold freezing rain and Darren Huckerby kept scoring for Coventry, think we lost 4 maybe 5 nil.

I actually worked at Coventry Colliery for 5 years back in the 80's so new the city quite well, though most of what i knew was 1/2 mile underneath, it was a very deep mine, the coal face also took about 10 feet of coal.  

I think the decision to flatten the old ground was very sad and i reckon destroyed a huge community which depended on the match days, used to be quite a few boozers you could pop in to as you wandered upto to the ground, many have now gone as have a huge swathe of Coventry city supporters, the new ground has no pubs, no community and no appeal whatsoever and surrounded by fiascos such as Coventry falling out with the owners and playing at Northampton for quite a while a few seasons ago.
