I'm sticking with my original stab in the dark of Turf Moor, even after Leigh Blue ruled it out for offside and Thundies acted all Peaky Blinders on me with St Andrews. I asked the guy who posted it at the time, but he never replied, so not holding my breath It's the Hawthorns anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoken to the inbred mates from Burnley and they're certain it's Turf Moor though they say they didn't play them that season so the date on the pic could be wrong. I need a drink 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have fitted a Costco on that terrace as well if it had all gone tits up My mistake pal, the article was relating to 50 years ago, still forward thinking enough for those inbreds 😄 https://www.burnleyexpress.net/heritage-and-retro/retro/burnley-express-archive-clearly-recognisable-turf-moor-so-much-has-changed-50-years-2904751 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's St Andrews. like I say, I was swayed by St Andrews too, though some Brummies said the stanchions were further up the terracing. Kindly share your evidence though, I think we all want to know and shut the thread 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a right-angle type of support. It's near the fence that separates the side terrace from the terrace behind the goal. I have found old footage of a Birmingham City match from the time that shows this corner. It's only a very brief bit of footage in a longer clip. In my opinion this is the same. I took a screenshot but it won't let me put it on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
