I think we’ve played an FA cup reply there.

The Southend Stadium is a ground we never played on

[BobbyGmeister]

Boleyn Ground (Upton Park), London Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arsenal Stadium (Emirates), White City Stadium (good shout mick), Brentford Community Stadium, The Hive, Falmer Stadium (Amex), Old Trafford, Twerton Park and Plough Lane (new) are all correct.

Five more!

If we are classing the Play-Offs as league football then the Principality Stadium, Cardiff

The Dell, Southampton?

[Ferrite]

White City hasn’t been used since WWII has it? Thames FC were 1920s/early 30s I think?

AFC Wimbledon- Plough Lane(New Ground)

Did we ever play at the original Wimbledon’s Plough Lane?

What about Milton Keynes when they played at the hockey stadium?

How about The Dell at Southampton?

[mistertonmick]

we played at Plough Lane I went there twice, a 1-0 defeat and a 1-1 draw.
I think Southampton was in the old division 2 in the 60s so we will have played at The Dell

Bit of a punt, Highfield Road former ground of Coventry City?

[mistertonmick]

spot on Iron-awe

[Ironic]

We played away to Coventry in the FA Cup in 1934, 1935 and 1954, I think these games would have been at Highfield Road

They were still the original Wimbledon when they played at the Hockey Stadium.

Ooh, that’s a controversial way of looking at it. You’re right in some ways, wrong in other ways!

[mistertonmick]

Not wrong Ferrite, MKIron is wrong

I’ve just looked up the match details for the game at the hockey stadium and the league table and it says MK Dons, and we played there on 27th September 2005

Initially based at the National Hockey Stadium, the club competed as Milton Keynes Dons from the start of the 2004–05 season

As I predicted, Wimbledon controversy!😀 However, who we played there is irrelevant.

Avenue Stadium (Dorchester) and The Millenium Stadium are correct. Ironic is right about Highfield Road, 1934 (0-7), 1935 (1-1) and 1954 (0-4).

Three to go…

[Ferrite]

Who played at Dorchester?

[Greylag]

Bournemouth played a few games there at the turn of the century
