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

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.

I think that might have been the Waddle season. I can certainly remember looking into the sun all afternoon.Funkydrummer wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 5:40 pmLast time I was at Adams Park, there were too many of us to fit behind the goals and we had

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

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.

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

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