How Many Of These Defunct English Football Grounds Have You Been To?

https://www.buzzfeed.com/richardbeech/d ... rZC4XWDaq8

25 for me spijed, some real shockers like Doncaster and Wigan.

32, but there'll be some who have done more.

Wigan by far the worst of the 15 I've been to. Millmoor and Scarborough probably next.

Bloomfield Road and The Shay in the early '90's probably as bad but aren't defunct.

I quite liked Highfield Road though.

24 for me. Millmoor had the hottest pie I've probably ever had. I bought it early on in the game and it lasted me til half-time. Damn near radioactive, I reckon.

21 for me.

16 watching Burnley plus the Don Valley to watch the Arctic Monkeys

Also 32.

33

The 33 includes seeing the rolling stones at don valley ( voodoo tour) .

15 for me

14 for me.

As previously mentioned, I think Wigan and Halifax were on a parr for crapness !!

31. It amazes me how many away games I used to go to in 3rd/4th division days. (It amazes me more to think, why? )

A paltry 11 ... I was still chasing eggs on a Saturday for a lot of this period ...

19.
Plus Watling street, Coventry new place where Chris eagles scored that goal and York Street which may or may not be now defunct depending on whether there are any more games played this season.

37 of them watching Burnley. The only two I haven’t been to are the old Burton & Wycombe grounds.

28, thought I would have done more.

23 for me...........happy days they were as well,...........

19.
I don't remember Burnley playing Wycombe Wanderers at an old ground, but if we did, then I would have been there, so that would be 20.

19 for certain.

20

18 for me

It's a 16 from me too.

Last time I was at Adams Park, there were too many of us to fit behind the goals and we had
to sit in one of the side stands, right in the glare of the sun for nearly the whole game.

Good times.

I think that might have been the Waddle season. I can certainly remember looking into the sun all afternoon.

Not being able to see the game may well have been a blessing (depends if it was pre or post Christmas)

34 for me

Why is Peel Park not on list. Saw Burnley play there in friendly. 58 I think

Another with 32 here.

33 if you include Peel Park.

Only 11, but I'm not sure what the Chester ground was called when I went?

Mid 90s, Sunday lunch kick off rings a bell?

Just six for me. That's what comes of living abroad and then playing most Saturdays.

When I was able to travel away I wanted to take my dad on an away game.
Going to Springfield Park, Wigan was talked about so that was the experience I wanted to share with my dad.
We firstly ended up at the Wigan Rugby ground but eventually I got my dad to the football ground.
It had been a good day sharing some drinks but as soon as we got into the ground we both wanted a wee.
There were no toilets so we looked to a policeman to help. He could only point to some coaches behind the goals with the message to join everyone else!

Thst sounds like the cup game when Inchy scored. Was at the new ground.

Only 11 for me.

Fond memories of a few, especially those two late goals away at Oxford under Stan in our promotion season!

Springfield Park had to be the worst.

Do Dartford still play at the ground Maidstone used?

Played on 14th Feb with most of us in shorts due to some very strange winter weather. It was one of the warmest days of the year.

20 for me.

36 of them, for me.

The list seems a bit random. I don't know why these particular grounds have been chosen and others such as the Boleyn Ground (Upton Park) not.

Interesting to see quite a number that aren't mentioned, however, of those mentioned, I have played on 8 of them.

20 for me - brought back some good memories - ty

That was at the Deva stadium when Inchy scored. On TV I think and Randall got MoM and wasn't the most eloquent speaker in the post match interview to say the least

Thought Bristol rovers played at twerton park? All family went to watch Burnley there in 1992

21 for me, lots of lower division memories 80s and 90s with the Clarets - usually ending in defeat!

18 definitely poss 20 the old days is an alcoholic blur

They played at Eastville for 90 years but had to move out in the 80s. They played temporarily at Twerton Park until they could move back to Bristol to their current ground which is just up the road from where Eastville was. We first played them at Twerton Park in 1993/94.

Yes... 93/94 result

Do York still play at Bootham Crescent - I thought they were getting a new ground.

Didn't we play MK Dons at somewhere other than their current ground or am I imagining that.

Surprised White Hart Lane is not on the list.
