O/T Name the ground

I'm thinking Workington Reds, but not convinced ...

Borough Park has two identical open ends, and has had since the 70's, but the main stand is very similar you are right! If it is Sealand Rd it must be an old picture as they had quite a nice main stand built in the 60's, which if it is Chester, must be to the left, but you wouldnt take a pic of the crap bit would you?

My only other thought would be Newport County's old pad ? Somerton Park I think it was called ?

I have a vague memory that Somerton Park had a gravel track or some such thing, but could be wrong!
It does look like Sealand Road, without the newish stand, so must be an old colour photo if so!!!

Correct.

Ace!

Not too tricky this one, although last time we paid a visit they'd chopped the tree down..

I believe that a certain Danny 'The Iron Man' Adams now 'parades' his wealth of experience at the ground having been previously with Mr T at JH's latest club.

I wonder what the conversation went like between DA and JH when discussing SMc........

St Albans?

Aye. Clarence Park, St Albans.

Matty Blinkhorn lobbing it into the onion bag @ the opposite end of the ground (by the Clubhouse).

..Until 1999, Clarence Park’s main claim to fame (or rather infamy) was a large oak tree that protruded out of the terrace at the near end of the ground. Although it conveyed even more rustic charm on the ground and had a preservation order on it, the tree did require regular pruning by the club. In addition, visiting goalkeepers suffered from being pelted with acorns by home fans behind the goal!

In 1992/93 St. Albans finished as runners-up in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League but were denied promotion to the Conference on account of the tree (and the fact that the ground wasn’t fully enclosed). In 1999 the tree was found to be diseased (although some doubt that it really was) and it was cut down.

Writing in 1995, Kerry Miller’s words were sadly prophetic: ‘Unless there is a change of heart or of policy, then Clarence Park will not see Conference football as long as the tree stays healthy ... it’s a shame it’s not a diseased elm’. Conspiracy theorists take note!

Today, a small area of slightly lighter coloured concrete indicates where it once stood. In fact, the remains of the tree can still be seen oustide, where they have been fashioned into a bench.

Giant Axe?

I'm right, I know I am.
