By the way John, where did you get that close up photo of Lincoln? It's very poor resolution on Google.

There's a river between the two Nottingham clubs

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Fri Oct 13, 2006 3:40 pm

Still one to go...

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Fri Oct 13, 2006 3:59 pm

Is the second one Boston?

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Fri Oct 13, 2006 4:11 pm

I'm pretty sure its Boston like!!

You can tell by the roof on the away and the road behind.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Fri Oct 13, 2006 4:30 pm

Yup

Bolton
Boston
Chester
Port Vale
Dundee United plus a wee bit of Dundee

Mutt, MJ, and PJ got 'em all between 'em. :grin:

Weird those two Dundee grounds being so close isn't it. Apparently they were both built at the same time although not by their present clubs.

Imagine having a rival 4th division club Hartlepool Town playing in a ground on the old waterworks site. I wonder if we'd all still have been United supporters.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Sat Oct 14, 2006 2:19 pm

While you're all swilling pints at the Mill House or wherever, I'll sneak five more in!

Two clues:

1) Pools have played at all of these grounds in the last four years.
2) They are not necessarily all still standing!

Oh and I might have disguised a few details that were shouting the answer out. :wink:

MonkeyHarris · **Joined:** Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:05 pm **Posts:** 133

Right , I think I know two of them

2) Swansea

4) Charlton

The other three have me stumped

MonkeyHarris · **Joined:** Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:05 pm **Posts:** 133

Back again!

5 could be Burton’s old ground

parmopooly · **Posted:** Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:37 am

the third one is Plymouth, before being re-built
top one Stockport

parmopooly · **Posted:** Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:39 am

last one Oxford's old ground

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Sun Oct 15, 2006 6:32 pm

Four right answers have been mentioned!

And the one that hasn't really ought to be the easiest.

1) York city

3) Plymouth

4) Charlton
