I've been so lucky tbh. Every match I've gone to usually, we either lost or it was poor. We hadn't won a league match I've been to before 2011...however I witnessed two amazing moments...

- Roughly how many games have you been to?
Somewhere between 10 and 20. Abit more if games that don't involve United count too.

- Best game you've been to
Man United 0-1 Liverpool. Yeah we lost to a Murphy pen, but it was my first match so wins by default

- Favourite stadium
Outside of Old Trafford, I would say Villa Park,maybe?

- Worst stadium
Loftus Road. Walked through council estates 20 times to get the stand.

- Best atmosphere
Man United 1-0 Barcelona. When Scholes scored my ears popped. Brilliant from start to finish.

- Favourite ground you've been to for a match day experience
Craven Cottage. Nice area, alot to do before and after the match, easy to make noise in there due to how the Stadium is. Really good match day on the whole, even if we lost 3-0 the first time I went

- Best goal you've seen live


- Best player you've seen live
Ronaldo, hands down.

- Worst player you've seen live
Heskey? Can't rememer anyone else lool

- Best priced ground
Sannois Saint-Gratien Vs AS Beauvais Oise

- Roughly how many games have you been to - Mostly games in the Northwest, Preston, Crewe, Chester Obviously, Bury, Everton, Tranmere, Shrews, Morecambe, Northwich outside of the Northwest Rangers and Newcastle a couple of times

Best Game you've been to - Everton 4-4 Leeds.. Crazy match.. i think David Weir even scored as well

- Favourite stadium - Ibrox > Everything

- Worst stadium - Goodison Park is a mess, one of the worst grounds in the Prem but the location feels really traditional, Everton haven't really moved on with the times though, feels exactly the same when i went there to watch them play Arsenal last season as it did 8/9 years ago.. but that aside then i think Moss Lane.. terrible place.. **** pub down the road, awful food, scummy fans.

- Best atmosphere - Ibrox and St James's Park

- Favourite ground you've been to for a match day experience - Really like Bury's ground actually, don't know why because it's in a **** area but the actually ground is alright

- Best goal you've seen live - One that Kevin Campbell scored against Newcastle.. forgot what year it was now.. about 1999 or 2000 i think " Super Super Kevin Campbell put the ball in the Geordie net "

- Best player you've seen live - Fernando Ricksen and Lovenkrands.. not the best as ability wise that would go to Henry but the best as in who i enjoyed watching and would have moments of brilliance out of nowhere, Bakayoko was amazing to watch as well

- Worst player you've seen live - Pistone was dreadful but i liked him and Michael Branch.. dear god

- Best priced ground - Probably Chester nowadays since you'll be getting to see Lee Trundle in action

- Roughly how many games have you been to - Not sure really, probably been to about ~20 top flight games, mostly Newcastle because that's who most my family support but also a few West Ham games and then some random games I've gone with friends to see like a couple of Villa or Norwich games. Outside of that I go to watch Forest Green in the Conference quite a lot as well

- Best game you've been to - Couldn't tell you really, can't remember going to standout, really memorable game. Norwich beating Newcastle 4-2 was quite an entertaining match though

- Favourite stadium - Upton Park or St James Park

- Worst stadium - Fratton Park

- Best atmosphere - Upton Park or St James Park. Also went to a Porto game a couple of years ago and that was a really good atmosphere

- Favourite ground you've been to for a match day experience - Upton Park just because it was my first West Ham home game, also quite enjoyed going to see Newcastle play Swansea at the Liberty stadium even though we had to walk through a pretty sh*t area to get there

- Dunno about the goals/players

- Best priced ground - Forest Green at the New Lawn, only bad thing is it's all vegetarian food they do

Yeah i had a friend go up to Everton away this season.. his seats were so bad he had a pole and roofing above him which blocked out half the view of the pitch, complete waste of money

I'm curious to know what games people have been to and the best thing's you've seen or experienced at a game

- Roughly how many games have you been to - would say around the 25 mark, half Ipswich games half Villa games, I've been to loads of local games though, just pretty hard going to matches when you support a team hours away when you live somewhere which has **** transport links

- Best game you've been to - Villa 4-1 Newcastle John Carew hatrick

- Favourite stadium - Villa Park, not just being bias, anyone that's been will tell you it's lovely, great setting, quite modern yet it's retained the old stadium perfectly

- Worst stadium - same as MTVN Fratton Park, nightmare to get too, and the stadium is in the middle of loads of houses, and the roof was leaking, just really really terrible

- Best atmosphere - Ipswich vs Bristol just because it was the start of the season and Ipswich murdered Bristol

- Favourite ground you've been to for a match day experience - I don't particularly like Wembley but when it was Mexico vs Japan with all the mexicans going mental everywhere that was cool

- Best goal you've seen live - my mind's gone blank so I'll say this one as a recent one


- Best player you've seen live

Can't think

- Worst player you've seen live - Emile Heskey..?

- Best priced ground

All relatively been the same
