The New Lawn

Post by Pe├▒a Oxford United »

I understand from the match report, which refers to &quotthe sandy and uneven pitch&quot, that this claim is not borne out by the facts. Would other posters care to amuse themselves by pointing out similarly inappropriate stadium names?

Now gone and completely non-PC but it always makes me smile anyway - Gay Meadow was hardly Hampstead Heath!

The Manor was hardly an imposing and architecturally interesting edifice.

Alexis - was at Slough for a while, now Abingdon Utd (and injured)
Paul Burton - regular at Ware

As far as I can tell, Danny Morgan is still on the books of St Albans, who he joined from Billericay last summer. According to the St Albans website though, he hasn't played for them since November.

Well I found the Manor architecturally interesting (at least 8 stands for a football pitch!) and many opposition players, and a few Oxford ones, found it imposing.

I've never found Meadow Lane particularly bucolic. Nor Vetch Field for that matter.

Not a stadium name, but a club. As a young 'un I'd always imagined Port Vale as a place of green hills rolling down towards a picturesque harbour.

As in &quotwhat can you not find on Strawberry Path&quot?

I seem to remember some development off the ring road (a bit north of Horspath Road) having a particularly stupid name even by the standards of the field. Anybody know where I mean?
