Name the ground

I've honestly no idea on this one, hoping Mick older than Methuselah aka Leigh White will fill in the gaps.

My thoughts are Turf Moor, Molinuex or Leeds Road

I was taking the piss.😄 But one of the few home ends i never actually stood on.

Swansea, Vetch. Talk about squeezing a football stadium in to the available space 😁

 

Brentfords new stadium is a tight squeeze as well.

I went on it at a night match at Villa, & it was huge. Standing about half way up, you couldn't see to the back because it seemed to sort of lean back !!

great shot of Burnden on this one Mick 

Some cracking pics on that site, Huddersfield had one hell of terracing running along side, but for the small Cow Shed behind the goal it could have easily matched Charlton as having the highest capacity in England which in 70/71 could hold 66'000.

It's like our game at Wembley in 23 or the Stoke game at Burnden in 46, just estimates for folk who jibbed in.

Burnley's ground was hardly ever full in those times, i think Leeds and Man U nearly filled it in the early 70s.

Celtic filled it .

I can recall that, some pre match season friendly. Makeshift weapons causing a lot of mayhem on the Long End, I doubt the ground would've been full.

Fairly sure there was a fly-on-wall documentary about it. Celtic fans dismantling a park railing and launching the resulting spears.

Correct, i didn't mind the coin chucking frogs aimed at our heads in Marseille, and we gave it back, but a spear chucking contest would be beyond me.
