    Who played at Dorchester?

    it was when they redeveloped the ground they played there, they turned the ground like east to west to north to south with four new stands, I only went once but before it was altered, it’s in a big park so easy to do.

    I will take a wild guess Bobby, Maidstone United, when they got promoted to the Football League didn’t they ground share with Dartford so never played any of their games at their ground in Maidstone and when they dissolved the ground was sold for development, since they reformed they now have a new stadium.

    Maidstone played all their league games at Watling Street, Dartford mick. We played there 3 times including an ignominious 6-1 defeat!

    The Old Recreation Ground, Port Vale

    Good guess ironic, Port Vale played their last game there in the 1949-50 season! Supplementary trivia, Port Vale have spent the most seasons in the league (110) and the most seasons in the second tier (41) without reaching the first tier.

    Christie Park, Morecambe.

    Were Morecambe still there when they came into the League? I can’t remember.

    They were Ferrite, but we didn’t play them until after they moved to the Globe Arena.

    Seem to remember us being in L1 and the Championship then. Or did I dream it?

    The ground in question staged League football from 1933 to 1955 but it’s primary use was as a greyhound stadium. Little does she know…

    That’ll be Southend then. Southend, Luton, and Grimsby between them probably hold the time record for having plans for a new stadium!

    Two Wright’s has got the right team, Southend played at Chelmsford City’s old ground for a while whilst the Roots Hall ground was being built.

    The correct answer is the Southend Stadium. Southend only played at New Writtle Street Stadium (Chelmsford) during the war mick.

    Oh heck, so he did. My sincerest apologies ironfan, good job you’re on the ball N.I. Time to hang my trivia boots up for a while (in reality I’ve run out of questions).
