Utah Owl Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The recent topic on the 92 league grounds got me thinking how many grounds have I been to that are no longer there? Probably one for the older fans amongst us, but my list is as follows: Premier - Highbury (okay it's still there, but it's now flats), Maine Road, Victoria Ground Championship - Highfield Road, Belle Vue, Filbert Street, Ayresome Park League One - Goldstone Ground, The Dell, Plough Lane League Two - Saltergate, Millmoor, Gay Meadow, Manor Ground Non- League - Feethams Others - Wembley (old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See thread on "That Sums It All Up" re Colchester, seems to be a trend against them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Just Saltergate for me a few years ago. The stand I was on looked like it was going to crumble and collapse at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I lived in a house backing onto the Victoria Ground in my student days. Oh how I worried as the hoolies fought outside, close to my prized Mk 2 XR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Plough Lane? Would that be conference north or League 1? I counted it as League one because the connection is to MK Dons. Wimbledon AFC never played there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Something very sad about that pic. Agreed. Remember passing the Valley on a railway train in the mid 80's when it was in a similar state. Fortunately Charlton were able to move back there a few years later.
