Nottm_Wanderer Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 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 Quote

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 Quote

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 Quote
Nottm_Wanderer Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Yes Everton because of the church , although I think the pitch is the wrong way round to how it is now Quote
Nottm_Wanderer Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 ... actually it looks too green to be Everton ... All those trees ...I need a rethink...this is better than the Tranmere game Quote

Begining of last century. If not the end of the one before. Hardly anything to go off. Don't think anyone of us has driven to this ground. Quote
