St James' Park, Newcastle before the rebuilding?

Has a look of Fratton Park but pretty sure it's not.

No but I’m now certain it is Newcastle looking at what has been posted, I was watching Hairy Bikers last night and they had footage in the 60’s with the ground on it but didn’t say where, I remember as a child seeing the similar lighting at The Goldstone if not the same type!

Scottish floodlights. Not many clubs had them - St James park and the Goldstone among the few.

 

[Weststander]

It's Newcastle.

The roof over the away end wasn't there when 10,000 of us visited in May 79.

Their plan was was to extend the modern Leazes Terrace around Stand in a sweep, but the hated Board (pre Sir John Hall) never had the money and the club struggled on. Always having to sell gems like Beardsley, Waddle and Gazza.

The angle at the top of main structure connecting to the flood light housing. Most clubs in England have a straight mast and then angle the lights individually downwards.
It was prevalant in Scotland to have the whole frame angled down.
