A lot of people have mentioned Twerton Park, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been demolished as where would Bath City be playing football now?

Anyway, my list of football stadiums that are no more includes:

The Goldstone
Fellows Park
The Victoria Ground
Wembley (yes - the old one)

It's still there, I went to a Team Bath vs Lewes match in 2008/9.

A couple from my list that I haven't seen posted anywhere:
Ninian Park
Park Avenue (Bradford)
I was also going to put down "The Shay" but I think the reformed Halifax may still play there - it is the worst ground I've ever been to. Looking forward to visiting Spotland again next season after nearly 40 years.

Baseball Ground - don't know why but I really liked that ground

Victoria Ground Stoke, didn't like that at all

Plough Lane ( has that gone?)

The original Wembley

The shitty Dell

The Den - Cold Blow Lane

All the above plus Burnden Park, Ayersome Park, Roker Park, Vetch Field, London Road (Huddersfield I think) plus some smaller ones I can't think of at the mo.

I put Ninian Park! I'm sure there are a few other old-timers who've been there as well. And you're correct, the reformed Halifax do still play at the Shay.

I must say I'm EXTREMELY jealous that you've been to Bradford (Park Avenue). I've only ever seen them at Horsfall (Braford's answer to Withdean)

so did i !!
So you didd. That's the problem with old gits like me and Alex Alex Dawson ooh ooh - we've got very short attention spans. We read something and then promptly forget all about it.

Have you ever been to Ninian Park?
