Which would it be?

I’d choose Highbury. I really liked the stadium and the whole area really. Another stadium bang in the middle of terraced housing

My lad would like to go to Maine Road, but that’s because his City mates bang on about it, even though none of them have ever been and definitely never been in that war pen that they put us away fans in

You?

Wigan. To do roly polys down the grass bank.
 
Never went to Maine Road, so I’d pick there. Navigating Moss Side would have been ‘fun’.
I went when we lost 6 nil..maybe. Tracey got sent off. Coach "blew up" in car park. We were about 14 or 15. While we waited for alternative transport home got pelted with rocks

We got shoved on "a boys" coach. Fk me 10 mind in journey home it got pulled by coppers. Someone had opened fire exit and knocked a copper of his horse.

To prevent the culprit getting arrested we had to get off coach and stand across dual carriageway. Coppers then let coach go.

Fkn mental journey home. Ending in everyone bar me and my mate getting off on Halifax Rd and charging White Horse.

A right welcome to away days.

Edit. If any of you read this and we're on that coach, may I thank you for welcoming us on your coach. It was, looking back, a right laugh
 

Whenever I parked up near Maine Road I always felt like I'd accidentally driven onto the set of Coronation Street!
I remember as a kid going to the science museum and noticing the Granada (as it was then) building across from where we were eyting dinner, looked down and there was the actual Corrie set, cue 50 kids running to windas and waving at the actors! 🤣

Hope the kids didn't actually barge in whilst Derek Wilton was doing Mavis from behind, as she was eating on the gingery grey minge of Rita?!
 
That ground the Pigs always claim was there’s, it’s on the tip of my tongue…….

I was in the home end for that game. Then in the players lounge afterwards.

What a kin game for that 🙄
 
There's a few that I'd have loved to go to. But I'll probably say Boothferry Park.

I've been to Hull's current ground, so it'd be nice to see what they upgraded from.

Similarly with Donny. Been to see a Rovers game at the Keepmoat once (Danny Cadamarteri played for them that day, so you can figure out how long ago that was), and I'd be interested to know how big of an improvement it was from Bell View (Or however it was spelled).

Having been in their away end with Stockport, you are missing nothing

For me, it would be Freiburg's old ground should we have ever magically got into Europe. If only for the reaction to just how bad the entirety of it was. If you're meaning places we've actually played, I'd probably say Highbury as well
