#187 - 🇺🇸 and a bit of a wider geographical context

Think we’ll draw a line under #187, as no takers.

It was Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee 🇺🇸 - one of those massive 100k+ capacity university/college stadia.

My thoughts exactly. It’s got to be lower leagues or possibly a former FL ground. If it turns out to be a ground I’ve visited then I’ll be shocked to not recognise it.

I’d no sooner posted about not recognising the ground when I had another look and the stand, if you can call it that, behind the far goal gave it away. That’s the away end

👍 Rich - our last visit to St. James Park, home of Exeter City FC being in 2010 - as your stub confirms.

When you talk about your love of the game, you cannot help but have an affinity with the "old" grounds of the leagues... that is a lovely looking pitch and everyone close to the action...

Think that one is Vicarage Road Watford, don't know if they still do but parked the car in the hospital car park you can see (on the left of the pic).

👍 WRB - Vicarage Road, home of Watford FC.
The yellow/red/black seating made it a bit easy 🤔
I recall on my visits there, which would have been in the 80’s/early 90’s you had to walk on a path through a load of allotments (where the what looks like a giant sand pit is in the aerial shot) to get to the away end /corner.

Not played there since 2010 when I saw us win 4-1, goals from Snoddy, Beckford and Becchio. Not got my ticket though Rich!
