I got number 4 wrong. I'm still not convinced it's Valley Parade.

IDM · « **Reply #7 on** January 08, 2018, 05:22:02 pm by IDM »

Isn’t the brick building at the end of the stand still there?

I only missed Elland Road..

Sure that brick building is still in that corner of the Ground - or at least was !

EDIT : Just looked on Google Earth and looks like it is still there

I never realised there was terracing in front of the seated area of the main stand at Valley Parade back then.

Mind you, I could never afford to sit down at football matches back then, unlike Wolfie, who was born with a silver spoon in his gob.

No silver spoon .... just get "lucky" now and again (and nearly again recently)

Here is another view :

I got 10, but used process of elimination for a couple.

5 but then I'm the colour photo generation

Donnywolf · « **Reply #15 on** January 09, 2018, 08:49:18 pm by Donnywolf »

Yes being from the monochrome era deffo helped in this quiz !

The Shay Photo does really bring back many memories !

9/10 for me but I should have scrolled through first then I wouldn’t have gone wrong with the one I did do.
Good memories of some of those grounds.

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: January 10, 2018, 08:48:25 am by Donnywolf* »

Amazing to think I actually saw Geoff Boycott and David Bairstow at Bramall Lane

I have scorecard from last ever game there Yorkshire v Lancashire - unwritten on (if that is the words I am looking for)

Here is the printed version.

Richard Lumb from Sprotbrough opening the batting!

I didn't go to that Lancashire game but I did go to the previous game against Derbyshire. From memory Sir Geoffrey scored a ton and Yorkshire won.

10 out of 10 for me. I think the shay was the hardest. Massive crowd at Belle Vue that day. who is the player in shot?

Donnywolf · « **Reply #22 on** January 10, 2018, 12:33:00 pm by Donnywolf »

King Alick on the left - maybe Chris Rabjohn half in half out of shot (guess) and maybe Wilcockson at rear (estimate !)

Bentley Bullet · « **Reply #23 on** January 10, 2018, 12:54:52 pm by Bentley Bullet »

I was there! Not far from where the pic was taken actually.

Bentley Bullet · « **Reply #24 on** January 10, 2018, 12:55:51 pm by Bentley Bullet »

It was against Colchester by the way.

Funnily enough, I thought the Shay was the easiest.

I did also. But I got 2 wrong Rotherham and Huddersfield. I was very undecided on those and just took a punt.
I think if photos had been on different stands at those two grounds I would have got them.

Use the shirts as clues too..

Campsall rover · « **Reply #29 on** January 10, 2018, 04:11:00 pm by Campsall rover »

The Huddersfield one looked like Rotherham and Huddersfield shirts.
