    Goodison Park, twice.
    Moss Lane (Altrincham), twice.

    Drill Field & Wincham Park (Northwich Victoria), White Hart Lane, Filbert Street, Kingfield Stadium (Woking), Simonside Hill (South Shields) are all correct. Only 17 to go!😀

    Wasn’t the Worcester game played at Kidderminster, they only started playing at the Victoria Ground last season, I know one of their coaches he lives just up the road from me and has told me all about the new ground.

    Anyway it’s Claines Lane not Victoria Ground where they play now, Victoria Ground was their ground after 2016 up to last season in Bromsgrove after they left Kidderminster

    Nearly ironic but close enough, it’s called the New Manor Ground, the Manor Ground was the old ground in the town centre, been on them both, Iron at the New Manor and Gainsborough at the old, not sure if Scunthorpe have played at the old, I have a feeling we have played at Shildon and maybe Consett and possibly more in that area.

    You are probably right with New Brighton but the other 2 we have at more than once.

    Five and a half more correct answers, Stadium of Light, Canal Street (Runcorn), Tower Athletic Ground (New Brighton but not Sandheys Park which was last played on in 1939), New Manor Ground (Ilkeston), Borough Sports Ground (Sutton United) and Manor Park (Nuneaton)

    I take it this is since we entered the FL in 1950, not before?

    Victoria Road, Dagenham is correct mick.

    Sorry NI, I didn’t make it clear. Any competitive match ie Football League, FA Cup (round one onwards), League Cup and Football League Trophy. So four of them are pre 1950 of which Canal Street has already been guessed.

    We’ve played them in the Midland League because Trinity’s record crowd is against Scunthorpe, so not sure about that one whether that counts but I’m sure Bobby G will know, 2 good shouts with Hull and MK Dons

    I knew we played them regularly in the Midland League but I thought we were talking football league and cup games..over to Bobby G for the verdict!

    We played Wimbledon at Sellhurst Park in the FA Cup in 1994 which at the time was technically their home ground, this was the only time we played them there

    Again, we have played Palace there, I went to the Wimbledon game and three of the Palace games, going by that way of thinking I went to watch us play Brighton at Gillingham, so, got to admit this thread is a good one from the Gmeister.
