Wright’s farm is where my football career came to a premature end with a twisted knee and nipped cartilage. Never fancied an operation so that was that. Cricket it was after that.

With respect, I hope your footballing career didn’t peak at Wright’s Farm. If so perhaps cricket was the right choice

I think NYCFC are the only football club who play in a baseball stadium.

...apart from the Las Vegas Lights, although the AAA baseball team they were sharing with moved to a new stadium this year. There are now plans to build a new stadium on site to attract a MSL expansion team.

They did "soccer" at the marvellous Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins too. It doesn't really fit a baseball stadium very well though.
Be interesting to see how they accommodate the Yankees vs Red Sox at the London Stadium at the end of the month.

This does my head in! It's either 'the only one' or 'one of the few' .
Three sides are quite close to the pitch and the nearside is closer than some of the remote ends you see at European athletics stadia.

I assume from your user name that you are ( or were ) a groundhopper.
Have you read " The history of non-league football grounds" ?
Some lovely stuff in there.

No, not a groundhopper, although I've been to probably every senior ground (county up) in Sussex and played on the parks too. Nomad was the forum which used to be particularly busy for non league Sussex county football.

Not even sure footballs 3rd behind Baseball and Advertising in that ground. Monstrous, why not stick an athletics track round the edge and really **** it up!

I didn't know Third Lanark and Queens Park were almost as close as Dundee and United. You'd have thought that when Third Lanark folded, the Scottish FA might have bought Hampden as there was a vacant and more suitable ground on the doorstep for QP to move into. I've found this pic of cathkin ParkVery close to Hampden Park, by the way.
