"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane
Yeah, why believe people who actually live there when you can look up some stats? #### knows where they got those figures from anyway. I've walked all over the Bush all hours, since I was a kid. Never had any trouble once. You seem to be on a one-man crusade to do the place down!
Remember a night game up there when we won 3-1 and I think Michel Beck scored two of them (remember him?) and it was so cold up in this wobbly temp stand built on scaffolding they gave the few of us who went free hot food and a drink for turning up
Not so friendly afterwards when a small group of 10 year olds bricked our coach!!
I was up there for that.remember pointing stuttering Paul in the right direction of the coach after.

From memory the worse ground/ worse away day for me was early 80's Shrewsbury away, the old Gay Meadow! My pal and myself got the special train which stopped at a concrete siding which was for the away fans like a makeshift platform right by the ground.
The ground was tiny and just a few rows of terrace behind the goal.
We only had about 400/500 turnout and no atmosphere at all.
The game was the worse 0-0 draw I ever witnessed pure boredom.
On the way back just out of Shrewsbury someone had chucked a heavy blocks of concrete on the tracks and we were held there for about an hour and a half. So that was a terrible day out!
The other worse grounds for me were Rotherhams old ground and Plough Lane. Barnsley probably the most unfriendly gaff ever. As for unfriendliest ever away day was Leeds in the FA Cup 86 OR 87? That was like Custers last stand up in the seats fending off all corners of the ground who decided to attack all R's fans present. And they had won!!
That was 87 in the cup. We got locked in for at least an hour after.

Spurs for me, horrible fans, we was away early 1984/85 season when most qpr fans were on a terrace in front of a stand which I think was the Paxton end and a few myself included were in the seats in the stand behind the terrace , it went off in the seats all over the place and we got a real doing and I remember seeing the old guy with white hair and glasses that was always seen at away games get smacked and was led out by stewards with blood pouring from his face, we lost 5-0 with Clive Allen getting 2 , when we came out hundreds of Spurs were waiting with no old bill in sight , I'll never forget that day and the way innocent fans of all ages were attacked inside the ground.
I remember Blackburn in the early/mid eighty's,what a dump , the urinals at the back of the stand was just a brick wall with a gulley at the bottom taking the #### away. Laughable
