Saved the best until last!

These three are superb and bring back some memories (well those post-1980s for me!)

I scored 8/10, 6/10 then 5/10 - so 19/30 - just below play-off form! <laugh>
 
10/10 (we've had it at least twice on here, even I learn through repeating the same mistakes), 8/10, 7/10 grand total of 25/30. There is one very mean trick question in there.

The Ibrox one caught me out. But I got the Maine Road one - FA Cup Semi Final; I guessed it!
 
I got 5/10 on Tramore's quiz, 5/10 on part II and 3/10, 7/10 and 1/3 (it then crashed on me) so maintain an average so dull that there are calls to sack the manager in the hopes that a new one can attain perfection.
 
4/10, 6/10, 3/10...it's interesting to see how the grounds have been modernised as opposed to those scrapped for new locations.
 
I had done the first two very recently, but this is the first time I have seen part three.

A score of eight, but very annoyed I talked myself out of the other two!
 
8, 7 & 9 = 24/30 I really liked the way you can merge the photo's. Especially the Liverpool v Everton one at Maine Rd. It was quite hauntingly poignant to see Emlyn Hughes standing in a spot that still exists today in a non football environment. Also the final one at Highbury in 1949 has a certain resonance in contrast to the modern monstrosity of flats that now inhabits the site. The Arsenal players appear ghostly when you merge the two photo's.

Great post sku <ok>

Thanks QPR999.

My favourite is the Charlton Athletic one - which if you fade in and out - is excellent. When I saw that one, I remembered the fans singing 'back to the Valley, we're going back to the Valley'.

I also loved the architecture of the old grounds though - especially the high vaulted roofs like at Molineux - with its wonderful curved lines of the facia, and the finials topping off the detail at each ridge.
