Lost Grounds

I thought this may interest you guys as there is a bit about Eastville in this article

Apart from Eastville I went to Highbury, the Manor Ground and the Dell

When you think about it, it's amazing how many clubs have new grounds

There has been many old grounds I have been too but not had the chance to visit the new grounds.

Main Road - Not been to Etihad

Blimey - how long ago did they play there?

 

They left there in 1935 so I expect P49 went there as a boy

 

Till 1935

 

in his 30's

 

Is he, he sounds like he's in his 70s

Sorry p49 please forgive me

 

Sealand Road was another, went there on a number of occasions and have also been to their new {ground} if that is the correct terminology !

 

Gay Meadow - had many a happy memory there. We used to smuggle in boxes of Weetabix and then fling them onto the pitch at half time - god knows why. On one occasion we had Shropshire's finest plod all decked out in their Sunday best riot gear to stop us, so they got bombarded with Weetabix too!

 

Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix.

Singing that while having a Weetabix fight was funny. Remember seeing nearly the whole penalty box covered with Weetabix. Use to get home and have crumbs of it everywhere under my clothes
