Take me Home Falmer Road
That was excellent. A lot of it feels in black and white.
I'm 99.9% sure that this is me!

Can you ever remember getting an arrow in the back of your head at the Goldstone If not, it’s not you
There's a few clues, but this is tricky. I'm wearing glasses, the Sandtex shirts and context of the series of photos suggests that this is perhaps the last season at the Goldstone, '96-'97. It's not the Goldstone, so we're in an away end with a roof. It looks like seats, not terrace. Quite decent numbers there, and the stand goes back a reasonable way. My guess is Cambridge.I thought it was too so it probably is! But where is it?!

Maybe best to ask Mr. Weir?!
I went to Cambridge but pretty sure I was on the open terrace behind the goal?
I think you're right. It was one of the games which the Club laid on a load of double-decker busses, as with Scunthorpe. I'm probably thinking of an evening game there where we were at the side opposite their main stand. In that case, I'll revise my guess to Scunthorpe.

Could be. We've been in both stands behind the goals and in the big stand on the side. The photo could be of the big stand or the bigger stand behind the goal. The photo gives you the impression it's a winter evening game, but being black and white, it may not be. Someone needs to put us out of our misery!Sincil Bank?

This looks like the same away end.

Yes looks like it. And that looks like [MENTION=20]Publius Ovidius[/MENTION] in the middle.
Fantastic thanks Stuart. Those kids sat on the wall in the first pic on the second row are right where I used to sit (north west terrace) but sadly I'm not there. Probably because we moved into the North Stand for much of the last season.
There was a poster which may have been done by you taken from the north west terrace towards the north stand, circa 1995, with me sat on the wall. My geography teacher had it on his wall in circa 1997 - would love a copy of this if it's around somewhere?! I think it was called Homes of Football or something?
WARNING to everyone, there are pictures of Bellotti.
Edit: There I am, brilliant! Not sure where it was? Somewhere with terracing with seats behind? Any ideas?

I went back to Stewart's website - each photo has a caption. The [MENTION=1320]Notters[/MENTION] photo is "File 72 95_96828".
So, it would seem to be the 95-96 season. I then searched for other photos around that 828 number (the [MENTION=20]Publius Ovidius[/MENTION] photo is 847).
I'm pretty sure it is Walsall's Bescott Stadium on the last day of the 96-96 season.
