Football ground names.

[Leekbrookgull]

As clubs re-build or move to new stadiums i can't be the only one that is saddened to 'good old names' go at the expense of The Emirates/The Amex and the list goes. Don't think we will ever see the likes of Cold blow lane/Saltergate ever again ? Any names you liked at any level ?

The Goldstone Ground

You mean the Den? The New Den just doesn't sound the same?

Burnden Park - I liked the way they had a line on the away terrace marked up to show where you had to stand to have an unrestricted view - very useful

only went there once, we lost 1-0 in the cup

it was a shithole

but a better name than The Reebok

Elm Park. Where did all that new support come from at the Maj?

The Den,yes but i also knew as Cold blow lane.

 

[Frutos]

The same plastic as they made the seats from, I believe.

This one confuses me, they sing about Millwall "come down to the Den" when even every other clubs fan know its the new den

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

Elm Park. Where did all that new support come from at the Maj?

IT companies and a supermarket chain. The rest of Reading trudge along to Stamford Bridge

 

[Bigtomfu]

Ayresome and Roker Parks.

 

[Brian Potter]

Maine Road / Sealand Road / Feethams

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Feethams,now that is a name.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I don't want to be pedantic (or maybe I do) but Millwall's ground is called The Den. Not the New Den.

I like The Dripping Pan. And Giant Axe (Lancaster City).

Elm Park. Where did all that new support come from at the Maj?

To many ditto closer to home. Could never sell out at the Withdean.

As a Yank I feel compelled to put in a vote for The Baseball Ground.

roots hall!

 

[Simster]

The Manor Ground, The Dell, The Vetch Field

Good ones still going: Field Mill, Bootham Crescent, The Racecourse

Funny how public attitudes changed. When Middlesbrough first moved, a lot of other fans thought their club were above that sort of thing. Then when it was realised their 30,000 gates were no flash in the pan, and decent players were rocking up in Smogland, everybody wanted one!
