Boundary Park

I’m not very good with boundaries. I usually park myself right on them and then cross them frequently. Which is why all my exs call me «Boundary Park» and this stadium was named after me. I’m also very direct, and I take ages to .com when I am playing indoor bedroom sports. So the sponsored name is for me too. Thankfully my darling doesn’t have, nor appreciate, boundaries, so it’s okay for me to park there, so we’re perfect for each other.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — Alex (who lives just north of Manchester) and I used to go to stadiums when I lived in the area as a kid. We went to every single one in the Greater MCR area, including Boundary Park a few times.
The only time we ever saw a live game there was Oldham vs Rochdale and it was a violent affair on the field, and well supported off it. But as a purely aesthetic person (not really but let’s pretend), the stadium is not one of the best. It needs some work and is not the most comfortable nor crowd-​friendly. Still, they make a nice din despite that, and hopefully at some point in the future there will be renovations. I was here as recently as 2014.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

This used to be a plastic pitch, much like Luton, and so of course I’m going to like it (who doesn’t like plastic? Speaking of my darling) but when it comes to pitches, I like playing on astro but it’s pretty awful for professional athletes and used to cause a lot of injuries and so they outlawed it.
This stadium is one of the coldest, it opened in 1904, and hosts a meager 10k people. It’s a decent stadium but there are much better ones even with the smaller teams in Manchester. There are 4 or 5 other reviews of Boundary Park online but they need to be moved over here.
