Category Archives: Historic Name That Ground

Do you recognise this ground? If you’ve not seen this feature before then each week for the last few weeks I’ve been posting an image of a football ground taken in the past and you can see if you can recognise the ground. Some will be easy, others not so. You’ll be able to post your view in comments at the bottom of each page.

The following Friday I’ll post the answer. So here goes….

Can you name the ground featured in the image above? I know it’s a poor quality image but that stand was quite a distinctive feature of the ground into the 1960s. This photo is from the early 1900s.

I had planned to run ‘Historic Name That Ground’ only during the close season as in previous years, but it’s proving of interest so I’ll keep it going for a little while yet. If you have an old image of a ground that you think it’d be worth including in this weekly quiz then please get in touch. They don’t have to be from the 1900s to 1960s – even ground images from the 70s and 80s may prove a challenge to identify these days. You can email me at gary@GJFootballArchive.com Thanks.

Can you name the ground featured in the image above? Unlike previous weeks this is a drawing of the ground and so there may well have been a bit of interpretation by the artist. The image is pre-World War One. Please post your guess below.

Can you name the ground featured in the image above? This is tough because it doesn’t give much away, although the curve in the terracing may help. If you want a couple of clues I’ve posted them near the bottom of this page in italics.

Today’s clues: This image was taken in 1922 as the ground was being prepared for a major event; the venue is still used by a leading English club.

As usual Monday brought the latest name that ground image. I asked: ‘Can you name the ground featured in the image above? It’s an old image and I don’t have an exact date, but I’m guessing it’s in the 1930s. That stand behind the goal was recognisable for decades.’ The answer is…

Tranmere Rovers’ Prenton Park.

Can you name the ground featured in the image above? The only clue I’ll give is that this is a 1960s image and this was a wet day.

If you recognise the ground you’ll know why it was wet too.
