[Archived] Old Grounds discussion - take the quiz first

[DannyKeg]

I managed 9/10, I was probably lucky with a couple of them, but I really thought the Meadow Lane one was the old Town End at Deepdale.

Clearly, badgering my mum to buy Charlie Buchan's Football Monthly for me once in a while, paid off !

There was a stand like that at Dumpdale but the barrel roofed one was the one that had the car park then Moor Park behind it. Theres a statue of someone jumping in a puddle behind it now. It could be Peppa Pig,but not sure.

I got 9 but the one I got wrong was that one .Like you I thought it was shelfy's old office

[knobblybottom]

Oh dear, I got 9 but it was a fluke. I only knew one (Molyneux) for definite, there were a few guesses based on the players, adverts but about 4 were complete guesses.

[riverside returns]

9/10 and got infix wrong as thought it was villa park. Some good memories there of visits over the years.

[rigger]

9/10 I got Filbert street wrong

[Mattyblue]

9/10, chose Tynecastle instead of Celtic Park

The small stand running the length of the pitch at Filbert Street stayed in place until Leicester moved, like Luton you had to go through a terraced house to enter.

did Portsmouth have a similar set up

[DannyKeg]

I remembered the one at Filbert Strret as I was stuck in a corner of it once. F.A. Cup tie - late 60's perhaps, a draw if I remember it (Duggie & Fergie scoring ?) a feeling we lost the replay at Ewood though ?

[Mike Graham]

9/10. Got Filbert Street wrong. Oh, and thanks Danny, I enjoyed that.

2-2

Our bus caught fire on way down.

Can't remember the replay score. Think Banks was in goal for them.

[knobblybottom]

1965. We lost the replay 1-2. I thought that was one of the most exciting games of football I've seen. We were 0-2 down and threw everything at them, with Harrison and Ferguson tearing down the wings. Sadly we only managed to get the one goal back.

[Friarsnig]

I was disappointed to get 7/10 considering one of my favourite reference books is Simon Inglis's Football Grounds Of Great Britain. A great book if you're interested in the old football stadiums of this country before the wave of redevelopment took hold.

Be sure to take part I as well: http://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2014/dec/22/football-stadiums-then-and-now-interactive-quiz

Which I found harder and didn't try on as much.

[CAPT KAYOS]

Also got 9 on the first - same as others thought it was Deepdale rather than Meadow Lane

Second One got 8 - put Villa Park instead of Ibrox (doh!) and got St Andrews wrong

Can't believe Victoria Ground is just wasteland and still send shivers and anger when I see Selhurst Park and that end as an open terrace

Thanks for that Audax, enjoyable 5 minutes and somehow managed 10/10. Let's hope Rpvers perform as well tonight.
