Yip. Modern looking ground for the time. Held 35k.

After my guess i searched it and it came up as Clapham United or something 

Edit 

Checked again, Clapton Orient

I wondered about the steeple, but i think the ground was a lot smaller footprint

Definitely dont remember it having a track, let alone that track which looks like one you would have the bike on

I think on the stand roof it says ride

Those hills scream pennines

Tbh, i just need to admit i havent got a clue

That's not crooked enough for Chesterfields spire

The barrel shaped stand roof on the left hand side is quite iconic and should give a clue.

Notts County had one on what is now the Jimmy Sirrell stand, but I can assure you that is not Meadow Lane

Villa Park had one (and with the two bits on the centre too). I think the roof might have been replaced with a flat sloping roof. I think the stand with the flat roof replacement was still in place in the 70's .  I cannot say I've seen any pics of Villa Park with a bike track around it though. It does look a bit green for Birmingham too
