Wonderful picture, I still miss it everyday.
Was it a big pitch? That looks big to me.... Well bigger than the old Higbury pitch...

Highbury was actually one of the smallest pitches in the league...

What would have happened if we could have bought the land behind the ground?

Didn't we actually used to own the land behind the east stand? I'm sure I remember reading/hearing that we did.

Has someone fiddled with the photo..the terracing on the Chicken run looks all wrong in the south east corner. It used to slope away so that some of the house in the lane were visible.

March 1997 - having just lost to Hove Park Colts, Dad drove up to the Goldstone, and explained that this was where he'd watched the Albion as a kid, but that the ground was soon being knocked down, and asked if i wanted to have a closer look.
I was amazed by the place - the only previous ground i'd visited was Dean Court, but the Goldstone seemed much bigger....there was an open door at one side (towards the bottom left of that pitcure), and i got my first, and last view of The Goldstone Ground. After a lap of the ground, we got back in the car, and that was that - it's amazing really how much that i regret not seeing more of the place...but at the same time and so greatful for going there just that once, in the days when the Albion meant little to me at all.

Pezza, are you on drugs today? Of course I've Photoshopped it, and I've extended the West Stand to the whole width, and moved the North Stand back a bit. Together with the phrase 'what would it have looked like...?', the clues are pretty much there.Perry Milkins said:

As for the pitch it was about average. Looked bigger because of the nature of the ground...stands close to the pitch etc.
