Nostalgic Old Grounds

[monmouth]

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

The old Stamford Bridge was horrendous, although I wish I’d been further away when Dixon and Speedie did us 5-1.

The old Wembley stadium stands out. Although Northampton Town game was a gutter.

The old Stamford Bridge was horrendous, although I wish I’d been further away when Dixon and Speedie did us 5-1.

They were an awesome duo, as were Wright & Bright and Dean and Agana

Another old ground to add to the list

Warm sunny day pre season game. From memory Darran was there as well.

Worcester City

Not so much as nostalgic but an interesting experience. We played Oxford City in the cup, late 60’s. We won, but Oxford United fans were there and their fans turned on ours and I remember them chasing us with knives. I was 15/16 at the time and was the first time I had encountered that type of behaviour by fans, other than Cardiff obviously.
The ground was called the Whitehouse Ground, I think
Anyone else remember this?

Yes I’ve been there twice
First time I think we won 3-2
The second time 5-1?
I think that’s the game you’re on about.
Quite a bit of trouble inside behind one goal. I was up behind the other end

Yes, that’s the one. I didn’t tell my parents about the trouble there as they wouldn’t have been too happy.

Somerton Park,The Old Show Ground.

Talking about all these old grounds brought back memories of the re-election process that we ourselves had to partake in, in the mid 70s . I can remember both Workington and Southport getting voted out , replaced by Wimbledon and Wigan. Indeed I still view those clubs a "newcomers" even though it happened 50 years ago

Somerton Park,The Old Show Ground.

Ah I forgot all about Somerton & The Goldstone

 

[3swan]

Yes, that’s the one. I didn’t tell my parents about the trouble there as they wouldn’t have been too happy.

I got there really early so was able to park very close to the ground on the main road.

Came out of the ground and quite a few Oxford milling around, at least I came from the end they weren't looking at.

In the car and away.
