To take the minds off the over analysing of the games left! Too much brain fry!!

Yeah I should be working, naughty me.

So, below are 12 aerial shots of either defunct or grounds before reconstruction from England and Scotland.

All you have to do is name them... easy!

It's amazing, when you look at aerial shots of these grounds how many suffered as the Goldstone did, despite mostly being surrounded by open country side they couldn't fit an oblong pitch and a corresponding symmetrical viewing area around the pitch. Even the old Wembley nearly didn't make it because of the railway. It's surrounded by fields they could have put it anywhere.
