Lost Football grounds

Some good vintage photos of old grounds as they were pre war. Some size of terracing at Maine Road.

Apart from the Hull and West Ham grounds I think I visited them all. That aerial shot of Maine Rd is fabulous.

Thanks Lemmy, been to most of those grounds, loved those photos right down my street, you can keep your brand new state of the art bowls, give me the old grounds to visit everytime with the uneven stands an all, magic

I.ve been to eight of them. Other than Bristol Rovers, I'd need to be in my late eighties to have been to the others.

That’s brilliant.
For some reason I really like the look of asymmetrical grounds like the Vetch. Gives them character. One of the reasons why I can’t wait for the Brentford community stadium to open (that is, next months)

The West Ham Stadium was designed by the legend of pre-war stadium design himself. The evidence is clear!!

Another lost stadium, ...White City. QPR had two stints here, and Uruguay played France here in the 66 World Cup.
