Thread: Grounds visited that no longer exist

  1. #1

    Grounds visited that no longer exist

    I was feeling bored so I made a list of all the old football grounds that I have visited over the years (as far as I can remember), which no longer exist.

    Arsenal – Highbury
    Brentford – Griffin Park
    Leicester – Filbert Street
    Man City - Maine Road
    Cardiff - Ninian Park
    Swansea – The Vetch
    Reading – Elm Park
    Sunderland – Roker Park
    Shrewsbury – Gay Meadow
    Derby – Baseball Ground
    Walsall – Fellows Park
    Wimbledon – Plow Lane
    Barnet – Underhill
    Chesterfield – Saltergate
    Scunthorpe – The Old Showground

    This makes me feel quite old.
