Yes, in 1987 I think
Walsall next to move to a new ground in 1990
Although Coventry claim the first ever all-seat stadium in England when they refurbished Highfield Road

Some things are just plain sad. That Scarborough photo brings a lump to your throat.

Not in Surrey
In this they say "It is proposed that elements of the famous heritage of Rushden & Diamonds FC will be conserved in a new setting.”
What famous heritage did they have? As I recall a local businessman bank rolled them over 10 years to get them into the league before withdrawing money and they folded into obscurity.
Their only claim to fame I can think of is Irthingborough (sp) was/is the smallest town to ever have a football league team. In fact the stadium has a larger capacity than town population.

Not officially an 'ex' football ground l know, (Bradford City still play there), but l have just stumbled across a youtube clip of the Valley Parade fire back in 1985.
John Helm a local ITV commentator went there to commentate on the Diivision 3 match versus Lincoln City, only to end up commentating on the fire which in a matter of minutes engulfed the main wooden stand, and took the lives of 56 people.
Like everyone else l was aware of the fire, but had never actually seen footage of it. It was truly terrifying, in the 15 minutes that the video lasted it showed terrible scenes of the dead and dying. Truly emotional stuff. Please God nobody has to go through something like that again.
