Nostalgic Old Grounds

[Ringwood]

With so many old grounds being replaced. Which grounds which are no longer was your favourites and have great memories visiting?

Went to Torquay in 1988. Absolutely rinsed down, end to end 3-3 game and we got promoted. Haven’t been back since.
Another was Griffin Park, been numerous times. Can’t beat a football ground surrounded by terraced houses.

Highbury and the late Ray Kennedy.

Also, Gaye Meadow right in the heart of Shrewsbury and a pint of Old Salopian.

 

[Longlostjack]

The Goldstone Ground.

Northampton’s old three sided ground that they shared with cricket.

What a dump that was.

I walked through Highbury a few weeks ago. They have done a good job of it.

I thought they'd moved it to Fleetwood

My absolute favourite was the old Vetch Field . Spent many a Saturday afternoon swaying about on the mighty North Bank. Best days of my life.

Wasn’t the away end just some steps? If you turned around you were looking into someone’s back garden

Eastville wasn’t so great back in the day.

Had a dislike for grounds with a greyhound track or speedway track around perimeter of football pitch which meant you watched from miles away.

Yes, that temporary ground in Brighton while their new stadium was being built was horrible. I was there when we beat them 1-0 to win the League One title in 2008 in our black and green striped kit.
Anyone remember going to Nene Park to see us playing Rushden and Diamonds in 2005, which we won 2-0? They eventually went bust and disappeared, before being reformed as a phoenix club.

I remember the Nene Park game.. think Leon scored in our black travel house kit.

Colchester's Layer road was always a bit dodgy with their squadie fan base..

Manor Ground , Fellows Park and Feethams were good away days

Talking of old nostalgic grounds like The Vetch, I was brought up singing all sorts of songs.
Not like now at The Dullcom / Liberty stadium where all I seem to hear is Hymns & bleeding arias and Oh Franco, Franco.
Where’s the inventiveness gone ??
“If I had the wings of an eagle ect ect “
“Willy is my hero he’s solid as a rock ect ect”
And this one, which was always one of my faves, Here fabulously sung by Sunderland fans—>
