Amazing how many dog tracks are next to railway tracks!
👍 Adam - the Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium. Never been to ‘the dogs’ myself.

How about this one? The ground to the right, not the unusual building in the centre.

Nice easy one....

Been to this ground, no doubt Rich can delve into his ticket box

Leeds beat this team 2-5 in a cup match

George Best scored six in a cup game here many moons ago

Load of old cobblers really :lol:

Don’t think Northampton Town have ever played there 64 (have they :duno: )

Was probably at the County Ground when GB scored his 6..................and then they moved to Sixfields.

Played them 10 times, half of those away. 63, 65 and 66 at the County Ground. Twice in 2008 at Sixfields!

As Adam has confirmed 64 Leeds have played Northampton 5 times away - 3 of those games were at the County Ground and 2 at Sixfields, so you can’t have seen them play at Franklin’s Gardens (unless you were watching Leeds Tykes 🙂)

Btw - the ‘monstrosity’ is the Grade II listed National Lift Tower (where they test lifts)

Would the Leeds connection be a certain former Italian owner?

Brescia?

A decrepid stadium with a massive temporary scaffolding stand in front of a condemned terrace. Not sure why you would link tjhat with Massimo Cellino?

👍 WRB - THE Stadio Mario Rigamonti, home of Brescia Calcio 🇮🇹

...and yes the Leeds connection obviously the fact that Brescia are under the ownership/control of Massimo Cellino, seen below welcoming new signing, Mario Balotelli in 2019 (don’t think he even lasted a year at the club)

Long journey home with the cobblers scoring near the end after Jermaine equalised with a rare header.

Fairy sure I know it and it's the one stadium in the world that the Mrs has been to that I haven't (so she says).
Will leave it to others to have a go as I got the last one.

Looks a lot like the home of English rugby union: Twickenham.
