Pitches with slopes

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Watching Newcastle v Man Utd I have often wondered why they have never taken the slope out. It's quite a fall from left to right (camera in normal position).

I can think of 2 others Barnet and Sheffield W. Any others?

Goldstone Ground? Have never set foot in the shops now there but it must make it awkward to manoeuvre a shopping trolley.

Underhill.

There was certainly quite a slope at the Goldstone, down into the southeast corner.

Hillsborough has about a 6ft drop from end to end.

Newcastle's must be at least that as well .

The pitch at the Amex is sloped intentionally. It's lower in the wings to help the ball reach them.

Capels' ground in the West Sussex league must be one of the worst....... just to add a local one. could also add Wisborough green as thats got all sorts of twists and turns

must be some park pitches..... Horsham park for a start

Certainly remember Horsham park in the mini-minor league back in the late 70's early 80's. Chesworth Tiger boy myself.

Osdal Stadium was weird when Bradford City used it post fire tragedy. The corners where sloped upwards, the grass being laid on top of the speedway track.

I was in Tyler (green tie as a prefect) and if I've got you right you wore a PINK one.

You would have played football with Jeff Scully, Mark Stepney, correct?

I do believe we have acknowledged each other down the years at Brighton games
