  1. clues in the pic they are called "City" The ground is derelict and no longer used, possibly in the midlands with "Rover Group" adverts Worcester City
  2. So he did !!!! A fair clue too, Fir Park !!! Motherwell
  3. Everyone has called out the North East clubs, so if it is near to Carlisle it is going to be over the border in Scotland and judging by the blanked out club name , quite a long named club. Can we have another clue please
  4. I was going to say zenit st Petersburg because of the Bolton connection but I think that is surrounded by water ... So I will go with Lenin Stadium...the national stadium , home of the 2018 world cup final
  5. I think it is meadow lane, Notts County again. That could be the kop end we saw before , now covered and seated , although the floodlight pylon looks iffy Notts County... Final answer .
  6. That's a bit harsh. No one complains when the wanderers score a tap in , let me have my bit of glory , if I didn't answer cos I know there's no point having a go. Anyway I am a bit of a geek I been on shed loads of grounds watching the wanderers so I would have got this without local knowledge as I been on it before I came to Nottingham
  7. The scoreboard , curved roofs behind the terrace and skyline made it easy for some one whose lived in nottm for 40+ years 😀📷
  8. OK the other "W" ... Home to Luther Blisset, Graham Taylor and Elton John Watford
  9. Based on the one word club Walsall
  10. The first game in L3 me and my mate went on a SELNEC double decker football special. Only cost a few pence ... 5p ... maybe 2p rings a bell , we were schoolboys .... No need to book just pile into moor lane. Stood on the open end , loads of wanderers fans all over ..no segregation.. rows upon rows of double decker buses to choose from for journey home . Happy days
  11. I used to work with a prem ref. I used to complain to him about how Bolton got a rough deal in those early prem years ... He told me , that if you are a team struggling to win games then bad ref decisions against you seem to be exaggerated because you think they are so important to the outcome of the game . If you are playing well, in charge of the game, winning by a couple of goals, then a dodgy free kick or offside call doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. After a while I sort of agreed with him . The sending off against Morecambe wouldn't have mattered if we were cruising at 2 nil or 3 nil. Calling out refs is in most cases uncalled for . There is no conspiracy theory against us . Just my opinion
  12. Maybe a bit of daylight and slightly warmer temperatures before the temperature really drops in the evening. Plus Mansfield after dark ... You don't go there ...that was a joke actually... Mansfield is all right as a town 😀
  13. Wow what a night it was ... I was amazed when I got there how many Wanderers fans were in the clock end. I'd arranged a meeting at our Turnham Green office in Chiswick and an arsenal supporter in the office told me to follow his car to the ground. He was picking up a mate in central London to take to the game , so I had an impromptu city tour ... We got a street parking spot on the A1 too. I think it is my top away game following the wanderers ...better than Blackburn promotion and just about beats Hull on the Friday night. The Andy Walker goal in front of us all was amazing. Great post match celebrations in the clock end , helped by the big screen replaying the goals. The Arsenal supporter even waited to escort me back to my car , shook my hand on a great win. I drove home to Nottingham up the M1 with a big smile on my face. I was tempted to go into work in my wanderers top !!
  14. An update ...wife works in Mansfield.. loads of melting snow in area ... "Be gone later" was her words
  15. No snow in North Nottingham but it rained really hard and everywhere is soaked . The pitch at field mill was poor last time a game was played. More heavy rain forecast . Might be a throwback to a 70s heavy pitch if it gets s go ahead 😀🎄💦
  16. We had " lords meat " at Turton School ... " As in Bob lord . "Lords meat is what you should eat" said the delivery vans ... Our school dinners were awful and the meat was gristle .... Just saying
  17. Yes it was ... Their keeper, rod Arnold , made a worldie in front of a packed embankment ... One of best saves I've seen even the ref clapped it . We won at field mill at Easter ,packed out with wanderers fans. It snowed Saturday , Sunday here and temp has been sub zero sat, sun, Monday . It has been pouring down all afternoon , so rain on ice turf . Their pitch has looked dodgy on TV highlights . A postponed game is no surprise
  18. They play in blue. None terraced housing Those floodlights look like the ones at Saltergate. Chesterfield
  19. BTW what's with the weird 6 yard box markings and pitch markings
  20. ... actually it looks too green to be Everton ... All those trees ...I need a rethink...this is better than the Tranmere game
  21. Yes Everton because of the church , although I think the pitch is the wrong way round to how it is now
  22. 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 . Sheffield Wednesday
