I was surprised to discover that the team I support, St Johnstone, once had its own station, Muirton Halt, open on match days only, between 1936 and 1959. Although the line to Inverness runs close to the site of the old ground, Muirton park, I would not have thought it worth building a station for match day use only.
Are there any other football or other sports grounds that had their own stations used on match days?
Here's a link to the fans' forum thread for further information. As it is a football fans forum, there's quite colourful stuff posted (!), for the references go to post 17.
