Actually I am going to retract Burnley... The floodlights are wrong and that terrace would be the Bob lord stand is .

 

The terrace looks massive ...so big terrace with hills / moors to the right . None urban environment... I think I have stood on the terrace ... I could see owls when I was on it ... Not ones on trees though 🙂...  It was on a Wednesday in Sheffield when I went ... 0 - 0  whatmore led the line .

Based on the floodlights alone - reckon there are 6 in total if they were fully visible -I think this is Hillsborough 

First away game I ever went to about 1971 - night game under 6 lights 

I thought Hull were the only team with 6 floodlights. Was it a common feature back in the day?

Every day a school day

No idea - apart from the Car breaking down in Manchester and us going on the train from Piccadilly ( this was a league cup night match in 1970/71 and I was about 9 )  - couple of things stuck in my mind - an Electric Scoreboard which I thought was amazing - proper space age technology - looking back think they had installed it for the 66 world cup  - and the 6 floodlights - which was two more than we had at Burnden

Ridiculous. Do they still play on the same site?

Anyway, It's not Everton.

Yep, the first game there v Brighton United in 1898 

Let some others have a guess first
