OK sticking with football this is the only place I have ever been to a football match and that was just once. Taken about 1962. Famous team.

Can't seem to post the photo so still O/H.

Clue reposted due to pagination

Do you mean you were taken to the match in 62?

Or the pic?

Told you it was Old Trafford

Probably taken there in 62. My school was right by it with the
name of the pitch.

Accrington Stanley? My only game was Liverpool v Leicester when I was 13. He was a great supporter from when he was a kid there. As we had lived in Plymouth, Gosport and Chatham then finally Bath there weren't any 'big' teams close by.

Famous team...

Bon Accord, who lost 36-0 to Arbroath in the Scottish Cup in 1885

Ah - I see the photo now. Soggy Bottom Wanderers?

Is that a steep hill with something on top? Did Glastonbury have a team?

Using local knowledge I would confirm FD2's guess at Accrington Stanley. It's their Peel Park stadium which they were using until they went bust in the mid 60's after losing their place in the League.

FD2 has it. Accrington Stanley. I went to Peel Park primary school. FD2 on the stand.

Thanks Ex-A. That was supposed to be a little leg pull because when I went through Accrington with my parents as a youngster I remembered it as being much more built up and poor old Accrington Stanley has been the butt of too many jokes! I hadn't realised it was/is quite rural. We were visiting relatives down in Farnworth and Haslingden and had a drive out to see the area.

I think this one will be too easy for some people:

I think that is the Portland road, looking north from Portland towards Weymouth.

I thought you might get that one om15! A little further round:




You have control!

Thanks FD2, bit further away from home, (for me anyway), I think nearly everybody in aviation has spent time here,

I am not sure where it is as I think they moved it!

No.
We are in an aviation town, Pitza Hut originated here and the red Indian (can I use that term?) is to commemorate something.

The Keeper of the Plains is a 13.4 metres Cor-Ten steel sculpture by Kiowa-Comanche artist Blackbear Bosin. It stands at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers in Wichita, Kansas adjacent to the Mid-America All-Indian Center.
