Morgan Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm sure virtually everyone can name all the stadiums in the Scottish Premiership, and the top flight in England? Most of us could probably have a decent bash at most of the other league clubs in Scotland, and a lot of the English Championship teams. Many top European teams (Barca, Real, Juve, the Milan teams etc.) would be easy enough too. Although, many have changed names over the years. Manchester City (ex Maine Road), Derby County (ex The Baseball Ground) Dumbarton (ex Boghead) are examples. How about the smaller teams though? Without the use of Google, how would you fare with teams like Charlton, East Stirling, Forest Green and Greenock Morton? Name some wee/lesser known teams and their ground names.

I think they shared an earlier ground with a Kilmarnock RFC who'd already named it. The football club, perhaps the rugby club, too, moved to a new ground and retained the name.

Sometimes got confused with Motherwell’s Fir Park. Wee bit trivia that I put on here a few weeks ago: Stirling Albion played at Annfield. Liverpool play at Anfield. At one time, both clubs were managed by Shankly. Stirling Albion by Bob Shankly. Liverpool, by his much more famous brother, Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At half time the supporters used to swap ends. The idiots were looking for a fight. The lassies were looking for something else!!! I used to enjoy the half wits getting leathered at the end as they 'chased' the Jambos down towards the Whitesands and then shit themselves when they realised it was an ambush. That was over 40 years ago. Happy days though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
