    I guess some of you are as nuts about stadiums as i am.. so, as i'm a bit bored, thought i'd start a guess the ground game. Perhaps stick to grounds that Watford have payed at.


    It would be nice if the one who gets it could stick a new one up.. if not, i will.

    OK where's this?

    Good game and hats off to whoever gets it right. I'm guessing Stamford bridge...........also, is that the ref calmly walking off in the front mid of the pic?

    Got it. The clues were the greyhound scoreboard and the gasworks going up.

    Your turn.

    Very good, but next time I 'm using Tinypic, to deter any cheating, just in case.

    Well, it looks like Highbury, but I've never seen that picture before. It reminds me of the old away cage at Southampton.

    Actually i was thinking the other one. Tynecastle.. with the flats behind.

    My second guess would be that the flats are the White City estate.. so Loftus Road?

    Wouldn't be anyone big, because floodlights weren't introduced until the 50s and Newcastle & Villa wouldn't have been that tinpot.

    So probably something like Doncaster.
