bcfc01 Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Some of the surroundings, shirts, etc give some away. Not easy though. 11/15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Not really interested in the foreign grounds. 8 for me then, though I've followed City to 10. Highbury Baseball Ground Upton Park Goldstone Ground Filbert Street Burnden Park Maine Road Victoria Ground Ninian Park Griffin Park.

Rudolf Hucker Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 10. Knew #7 wasn’t the 15ers because there were no tents, no burned out stand, no greyhound track and a sizeable crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRed Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 13 out of 15, the 2 overseas grounds Schalke and the Calderon stumped me! slight guess on Ninian Park as I don't ever remember it being open terrace like that picture but the shirts helped and by elimination it couldn't be the others. Here's another old lost ground, picture taken in 1929 and it staged league football until 2005 (redeveloped obviously) when the club moved to a new stadium. which club?
