Dulwich Hamlet most/least liked away trips - your opinions please

Best: Tonbridge - great cover at both ends.
Worst: Croydon - or indeed any ground with a track round the pitch. It means when you're trying to tease the keeper about his small badge or lack of beard he can hardly hear you.
 
That bar of Walton & Hersham's would be quite quaint if it weren't for the fact that they regularly served cheap cans of lager at £3 a pop when they could have got some decent bottled bees in. Though have to say they beat with many other clubs to the posh burgers long before they infiltrated almost every ground, the Lamb & Mint was to die for.

Walton & Hersham's ground is/was a horror show of epic proportions. The only redeeming features being the burgers, like you say, and that if you stood behind the stand you could hear every last word of the half-time action from both dressing rooms. I heard their then manager, about 20 years ago, suggesting that tackles on the opposition's tricky winger in the second half should be of the kind that would ensure he wouldn't get up again.
 
Shouting "Ballboy!!!" to a bloke my age and weight everytime the ball went behind the goal was funny though.
 
Best: Lewes -great facilities for everyone (except the players), lovely lovely beer, new stand designed by a blind man on crack. Other end in the sun with the South Downs as a backdrop - none better.

Worst: Harrow Borough, been too many times to a ground in the middle of nowhere, where the facilities are woeful and you almost need a cab or a bus to go and get a beer from the clubhouse. Not helped having to go there for Hendon games as well and we inevitably draw one away in a cup competition as well.
 
Favourite: Quite like Hampton & Richmond + also liked Burgess Hill this season (though not the result!)

Least favourite: Croydon or anywhere else with a running track around it.
