There’s a great account on Instagram with loads of pics of Saltergate, one of the finest grounds I ever visited. For the more delicate among you, look away now. http://instagram.com/p/CAXhq6XJgdQ

I remember those toilets when we won promotion, thanks to the rain and the full away end everyone was splashing though piss overflowing from the hole in the floor. Great times

Are there actually any former grounds that are still standing?

Are there actually any former grounds that are still standing? Millmoor still stands, even though Rovrum left about 12 years ago The Reynolds Arena (Darlo's old white elephant) is being used by some tier 3 rugby union side

Are there actually any former grounds that are still standing? Nene Park was last summer, drove past it and it was completely neglected/abandoned, but think that’s been knocked down now. Must be one of the shortest lived new builds?

I might be imagining this but I seem to remember a midweek game at Saltergate in ridiculously foggy conditions. Early noughties maybe.

Couldn’t even see the far end of the pitch in the second half, only knew there had been a goal from the roar and restart from the kick off.

Well with that scoreline there’s no need to question why my memory tried to forget it ever happened.

Went past Hawthorns today and thats a proper old ground that has managed to 'update' itself without having to relocate etc.

one end of the old park avenue ground in bradford is still left. pitch and changing rooms still there at peel park accrington. so many have gone, especially the early 20th century ones, where there is no recognition of them whatsoever.

Parts of the terracing at Third Lanark are still there, in a public park, think the pitch is still played on
