[Football] Original football ground names.

[Leekbrookgull]

Probably been something like this before on NSC (?) and please can we keep it to UK grounds league or non league. Since clubs formed we have had and still have some wonderful ground names such as IMHO The Dripping Pan,Millmoor etc where's now it's The Oxo Arena or similar.

Saltergate

The first away ground name I truly remember. I remember hearing the reports from an Albion away game in 1977. At first probably wondered what Albion were doing playing Saltergate. I'd never 'eard of 'em.
