On the "to do" list!

[Glyn]

And another:

[Glyn]

Defunct Darlo ground:

https://www.darlastontown1874fc.com/new ... aAsJC_t-fI

[Glyn]

.. and that's an accurate representation of how many people will be sitting in it...

[Glyn]

Been there, but not to see football... for the BRISCA F1 fans, this is a bit like heaven - but then again football pitches with tracks of any kind around them are still an abomination (with the possible exception of Wembley 1923-2000, but then again, maybe not...)

[Glyn]

On the "to do" list

[Glyn]

Some time, maybe...

[Glyn]

Open to discussion... although I did quite like it when we opened the NLN season with a 4-0 win there!!

[Glyn]

My tally went up by two to 261 when I went to Scarborough's new ground the other week, and realised I hadn't included their old one!

[Glyn]

Been there, done that - what a cracking set of photos...



Anyone have similar ones of Keys Park, Cross Keys or anywhere else?

May need a new thread... shall I start one?... oh, go on then...

[The Beerhunter]

Open to discussion... although I did quite like it when we opened the NLN season with a 4-0 win there!!

I'd agree, Bower Fold is one of my favourite grounds, proper old school and you get to visit the Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar before the game.

[Pitmanchester]

Yes, great day out although the buffet bar food had gone a bit fancy on our last visit. All the pies had stupid fillings like "English breakfast" and there were no black peas.

I like the sign that says " no ball games allowed" when you first walk in.

But the nine hand pulls make up for that

[Pitmanchester]

Good point / pint.

Annoying that you quoted my misspelling of "there". I've edited it but it's now visible for ever.
