    With the exception of Highbury, every effort seems to have been made to replace the old grounds with either nothing or ****. I reckon with zero architecture and design qualifications or skills I could do a better job on those retail parks and identikit houses than whoever did them. Of course, the site of the Victoria Ground needs to be sealed off and left to decontaminate for 400 years.

    It's not about how many points you get...it's about the taking part...4/10.

    I did the quiz again and made the same mistake as the first time, mistaking Ibrox for Villa Park <doh>

    Got 7/10. Not bad as most of those photos were take about 30 (ahem) years before I was born.

    If anyone's watching the FA Cup game on BT Sport tonight, you'll see a true 'Then AND Now' ground. York Road is the oldest sole-occupier ground in the world. Maidenhead United moved there in 1871 (a year after being formed) and have played there ever since. That's 144 years at the same home.

    Let's hope the Magpies can do the place proud and turn over Port Vale, setting up a nice trip down to Exeter in the next round.

    Exactly the same for me. I was fooled by the badge that looked like Villa's.
