My last guess for this evening, but hoping there's more grounds tomorrow. Leyton Orient? Looking at all the rows of terraced housing, albeit, they're probably not there anymore?
If this is wrong, Swindon, using the railway buildings again?

Indeed, put that in because of how they climbed and ended up winning the FA Cup.

Maybe this will be my second trump card...

Was that when they were forced to play a UEFA Cup game behind closed doors? 1980 or some time like that.

Very possibly, that's why I was hoping it would throw people.

 

[zefarelly]

Luton?

No, there would have been a bright green plastic shag pile carpet in the middle
