One of them's gotta be Sutton Utd and another must surely be Northampton. Which ones which, I wouldn't know!

Maybe Gresty Road - have we ever lost to Crewe in the cup?! I'm only going on the top picture, in the corner of one of the stands it says "Chester Chronicle"?

Hmm, I maybe should have thought of that when I saw "Chester chronicle" instead of Crewe!

Number 1 is correct yes. Sealand Road, former home of Chester City. Well done guys, what a bunch of geeks.

in 1978 we lost to Chester City here 2-1 (League Cup)
in 1991 we lost to Cambridge Utd 1-0 at The Abbey (FA CUP)
Scarborough beat us 3-0 at the McCain Stadium in 1992 (League Cup)
we all remember us bottling it to Sutton Utd in 1988 (FA CUP)
most recently Rochdale embarrased us 2-0 at Spotland in 2002 (FA CUP)
