MancWanderer Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Convinced it’s Leeds Road. Stood on there open end a few times and they used to have a massive shallow terrace at the side where they later built a stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are Turf Moor, Molinuex or Leeds Road Have a look at the 1st pic on the link below, looks very much like Turf Moor. I was swayed by Undies and St Andrews, but their stanchions on old pics are much further back on the terracing https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/two-footballing-worlds-collide-as-di-maria-heads-for-humble-turf-moor-1.1912070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you didn't pull me on my shit spelling of connoisseur 😆 That pic in the Paddy Paper certainly resembles the original pic. Plus I'm thinking Turf Moor's pitch was widened too from the early days. They were originally playing with a stadium with a huge crescent shape to it, then closed it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Undies will have to reopen his part of the thread here......thank me later chaps ......after I speak to a few Burnley inbred mates 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it now I think you might be right mate. Would never have imagined Turf Moor looking like such a big ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a good article from the 50's when they wanted to make Turf Moor 3 sides seated and increase the Bee Hole end up to 22,000 standing.

Who’d have thought dingles could be so forward thinking? They could have fitted a Costco on that terrace as well if it had all gone tits up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
