Re: Name the ground
To give people a clue (as long as I've guessed correctly) this ground was replaced by the club in 1996.

is Scotland or Wales deemed "abroad"...?ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 5:43 pmNot sure when but the pics were taken in 1986 and both the same ground. Rowls is correct in his assumption that it's abroad.

Re: Name the ground
I thought Wrexham "was" Abroad? Granted it's the wrong answer though.

Re: Name the ground
Dig deep and you’ll remember Barry Bridges from his Chelsea days. Had a decent career after that as well.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 6:18 pmIf I'd not been able to look it up, his was the only name I would have got.

Re: Name the ground
Bridges made his debut for Chelsea in February 1959 as a 17 year old against West Ham, but his second game was against Burnley at Stamford Bridge. This is what he had to say about those games.Tricky Trevor wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 7:47 pmDig deep and you’ll remember Barry Bridges from his Chelsea days. Had a decent career after that as well.
A guy called Ken Brown marked me, he was a lovely guy on and off the pitch. I always remember that anytime I played a good pass or had a decent shot he would say "Well done, son".
In our next game we played Burnley and it was completely different. I remember going past one of their defenders and he said to me...."You can go past me, the ball can go past me, but you won't go past me together"....The next time I did he walloped me and it felt like I'd broken every bone in my body. But what a contrast between those two games.

Didn't we win the Charity shield in the next season? If so , how come we were in it. Before my time i'm afraid.

Re: Name the ground
Aye, we beat Man City 1-0 at Maine Road.
Liverpool, as First Division Champions and Sunderland, as FA Cup winners chose not to compete, so we were invited (as Second Division Champions) to play the existing holders of the Charity Shield, Man City.

We thought we'd give 'em a chance.
But they fell hook, line & sinker for our Old Routine.

Re: Name the ground
This was mentioned on another thread. I think the Champions and FA Cup winners were crying off. That was why they moved it to Wembley. It was still a big career highlight to play at Wembley back then. You could win the title and still never get there. Now it seems it’s difficult not to get there.

It was. We were sat in the North Stand, 4 or 5 rows behind, and to the right of that woman who always rung that big bell.Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:41 pmBrilliantly contrived goal for Waldron to finish it off.
Didn't bother me much, but it did my Dads head in.
The result more than made up for it.

I was surprised at the answer to this. Always imagined Ajax playing in a massive bowl type stadium.
