[Gint11]

Derbys Baseball ground, One of them is Brightons old ground,

One has to be a north east ground. Middlesbrough or sunderlands Roker Park?

They are not "ghost" grounds as they have had replacements built in the vicinity . A true ghost ground would have been Bradford Park Avenue (Peel Park) where the team ceased to exist.

A) Plough Lane

Bradford Park Avenue's ground when they were in the league was Park Avenue. Peel Park was Accrington Stanley's ground.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I agree it must be Scarborough with the countryside in view

I went to the McCain for that awful League Cup game but don't remember it being old.

10,000 SISU lover points for you. All four correct, you win my absolute respect.

 

[torchomatic]

Really? Don't remember that at all. I remember standing really close behind the goal, maybe it was undeveloped at one end. I went to Scarboro during the summer and wanted to show my son the ground but didn't realise it had gone. They now ground share with Bridlington.

You are correct, both ends were open terraces when we played them in the league cup with the seated stand being built shortly afterwards.
