What an awful, horrid little ground Sixfields is. 4 cattle sheds in a retail park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Surprised myself with that total - 23 for me. Only one game not watching City, Highbury for Arsenal vs Fulham, only game that season that the Gunners didn't score at home. Very happy days following City at the remaining 22 - Dave Smith in last min @ Gay Meadow in 89/90 promotion season, the old AG floodlights at Springfield Park, the 5-0 night win at Vetch Field, trying to burn a Rovers shirt in the away end of the Manor Ground, the hostility & 'edge'of the old Den, the brilliance of Jacki in the freezing cold at Filbert St in the FA Cup, a bonkers last minute decision to drive to Leeds Rd on New Years Day morning in the freezing cold, Scott Murray in the 3-1 win @ Ninian Park, seem to remember 'The Chief' scoring a worldie goal at the old Burnden Park, only one game at Eastville with many a gas mask in evidence.....! And, of course, the beauty of the '86 Freight Trophy @ Wembley, Riley, Neville et al. Beautiful memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lager loud Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 20 of those, although I wonder if Wembley should count: in spite of the complete rebuild it is basically the same place. As mentioned above, couldn’t Dean Court be included as a rebuild? Can also claim Upton Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glastonred Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Bradford Park Avenue, Shay Stadium,Halifax Town Victoria Ground, Stoke City, Maine Road, Man City Boothferry Park, Hull City Leeds Road , Huddersfield Millmoor, Rotherham Park Avenue was the strangest. In the days when they used to regularly prop up the fold 4th Division year after year, they only got a few hundred supporters in what was actually a once grand stadium, which was attached to one of Yorkshire Cricket Club's grounds. There was a spot where one could watch the football and a cricket match at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been ten years after they folded but everything was still there (including the goalposts) just rotting slowly into the ground. There were small trees and scrub on the pitch. I imagine it`s been developed now though. They are back as Bradford (Park Avenue) - they played Gloucester the other day I think. No idea where they play now though.
