[Football] Stadiums that no longer exist where you have seen the Albion play
- Thread starter Icy Gull
- Start date
Went to the above game & agree, having also seen the Albion at these grounds.Goldstone apart, which one was your favourite?
My favourite was the Baseball Ground. No rational explanation as I’ve only been there once and we lost in a Cup game on a midweek evening. Maybe it was because it was the first time I had mushy peas with my fish and chips. The atmosphere that night was something special too. Proper old fashioned stadium right in the middle of a residential area.
White Hart Lane (if that counts)
The Dell
Highbury
The Den, Cold Blow Lane
Gay Meadow (Shrewsbury)
Upton Park
Eastville
Saltergate (Chesterfield)
Edgar Street

I think the Nigerian was Emeka Ifeagwa. Has Victoria Ground and Highfield Road been mentioned?

"You plonker, Rodney!"
That was the fella. The other thing to remember on that day was how wet it was. The heavens opened and never relented all afternoon.

There are a few videos on YT of people poking around Millmoor. You can see it from NYS and I think Rov Titans play there. Never forgive Booth for stealing it.

Someone should take all those wonderful names, and do a footie version of Flanders & Swan's "The Slow Train"
This is, in a good way, the English-est thing I have ever heard or seen.
Well, this and Roy Marsden's Goodbye. Mr. Chips.

I remember as a boy -- 1967 or so -- listening to the BBC World Service read off all the results. (Had no idea it was for the pools. In the States, no one knew/knows what they were/are.)
It was magical:
It was magical.
"Wolverhampton Wanderers one, Preston North End nil..."
"Hamilton Academical nil, Hearrt of Midlothian, nil".
I guess it has some of the "Shipping Forecast" pixie dust on it.

you be able to add Brentford soon and Walton and Hersham are moving to a new ground also Scunthorpe?Did you not go to Underhill? Or Gay Meadow? Homophobe!
Pretty sure Edgar St is still there - I stand to be corrected
Yes it is I was wrong. Hereford folded and reformed. Same ground different club.

Interesting that the ground was worth saving and not bull dozed for a new Residential/ Commercial development.

Gay Meadow was included , LOL. I missed out Underhill and Millmoor. How many grounds have Brighton played at that have now been demolished? I never made Eastville, also didn't get to the one time Brighton played at Odsal (I think still used for Rugby?) and I am sure there must be other grounds from before my time (pre 1974). Twerton is still used by Bath City.
