    As in the other thread, I've never really considered going down Regent Road but I suppose I'll have to give it a go (and then, inevitably, won't bother and just stick with my usual route from Calton Road). The view of ER from Calton Hill was pretty much the reason I became a Hibs fan c25 years ago though.

    Another vote for Fulham from me.

    Shrewsbury is an interesting one, too. Google Maps reckoned we were 40 minutes walk away in the town centre and by this point it was barely half an hour to kick off. Walking in that general direction, we encountered a Shrewsbury fan coming out of his house and tried cadging a lift. "I can do better than that", he says. Takes us off the main road, down along the riverbank and across a golf course and we were at the ground early enough to get a pint before kick off!

    I've only been to Anfield for a wedding but jeez it's in grim surroundings! Govan is quite charming in comparison!

    One of the grimmest walks to a ground was the approach to Milwalls old ground, cold blow lane, aptly named and a muggers paradise. One of the pubs nearby was the Krays old haunt, the infamous Blind Beggar (which actually wasn't too bad in the early nineties).
    I think the Krays Blind Beggar pub is in Whitechapel.

    Blackpool from centre of town.

    I quite like Wembley from tube station.
    Aye reminds me of Athens with all the ruins and archetecture.

    Yes, Tynecastle is a true Dickensian backwater, always was and will be. These guys that do the Royal Mile ghost walks should consider Tynecastle as a possible new 'historical walk' venue. A Deeply depressing place.
    Cost will be £19.86.😁

    Without wishing to be too self congratulatory, turning the corner on to Albion Road and seeing the stadium slowly appear will never stop being impressive.

    In a similar vein, I love driving to an evening game at Bolton and being able to see the stadium for miles around
